CHAPTER 50

  Ella’s POV

  I gasped as I looked at him in surprise.

  Did I hear him right? He just asked me to marry him, didn’t he?

  I stare at him with my mouth open like an idiot, unable to form any response. It was just too damn unexpected.

  He clears his throat and says “If you haven’t changed your mind about your offer, I’d like to take you up on it. You can totally say no. I will not hold it against you”

  “What made you change your mind?” I asked before giving him my answer.

  He lets go of my hand and turns his head from me as if he doesn’t want me to see his expression, and stares at the window for a while.

  “I realized that you were right, you are the perfect person for this. You understand that I don’t really want to be intimate, that I am only doing this because of my duty to the pack. I will not find anyone willing to do this, to be married to me but not really. Just on paper, and just in front of the pack. You get it, while no one else will” he said firmly.
