Chapter 32: He Should’ve Married Her Then

Walking to Mordecai’s office felt like I was marching into battle. My senses were on high alert as I took my time to get to him. Wendy urged me to go faster, but I refused.

Seeing him made me feel things I didn’t wish to acknowledge.

It was bad enough I felt guilty for lying to him. After all this time and knowing he stayed by my side while I was sick, my heart felt so unsure of it all. I felt so unsure of myself and all my beliefs about love and marriage whenever he did anything like this.

I couldn’t fall in love with him. It wouldn’t end well, and I didn’t deserve his feelings.

Wendy pushed me toward his office door and stepped back. She was too nervous to face him or the Beta. After all, she was accused of poisoning the Luna of Nox not too long ago. I didn’t blame her.

I looked down at the plate of raspberry muffins in my hands. I requested them from the kitchen and brought them for Mordecai.

I shouldn’t fall in love with him, but I couldn’t help caring.
