"Forgive me, Gregor, for making you wait for too long," Melissa apologized as soon as she entered the gazebo.
"I understand something important must have come," Gregor replied. "How is Radulf with you these days?" he asked with a worried gaze.
"Well, he is taking care of me," Melissa replied. "But I won't forgive him easily. Since I'm his mate, he stays on toes around me," she added with a smile of victory.
Gregor laughed slightly. "You aren't allowing him near you!?"
"Yes," Melissa replied. "The day I was punished in the palace, Radulf felt the pain too. He had faint marks from the lashes on his back too. Savio told me, and it made me realize how special mate bond exists between us. Also, I misunderstood him all the time," she whispered in a low, upsetting voice.
"Misunderstood him? How?" Gregor asked, leaning forward slightly.
