    ‘I agree.


    She smiles at me. “Oh, you regret marking her?"


    “No, I regret letting you live.” I turn around, walking away. “Keep your distance, Veronica.


    “You can''t just walk away, Dane!” She moans, running alongside me


    “I can do what I want, Veronica.”


    “Why are you being like this? You used to care about me.”


    “Used to. Like you said, it was a long time ago, there have been others since you and not once have Ie back to you. Why do you think now will


    be any different?


    “Because, because it''s me."


    Has she note up with any new lines.’ Aero groans. ‘It''s always the same fucking story. Please, we were good together, you let me live, h h

    “Has she slept with Jenson? Is that why you banished him?”


    “No. Stop trying to dig for information.”


    She purses her red lips, keeping pace with me as I walk back towards the house.


    “Veronica, go away.”


    “I want to meet the woman that has captured your heart.”


    Coming to a stop, I re at her. “You want to meet my mate?”


    “Yes, I want to meet your bride.”


    “She''s my mate, Veronica. She isn’t just a bride, she is my true mate.”


    “You found her?” Her voice drops to a whisper as she stares at me with wide eyes.


    “Yes.”


    “NO!”


    I smile, hearing the disappointment in her voice. It sounded just like the day I had told her it was over.


    “Yes. I didn’t just mark her because I wanted to. I marked her because she is my mate. She is the one that I have spent years searching for.


    “Where did you find her?”


    “None of your business.”


    “I bet she can''t even satisfy you, can she?!” She mocks, trying to make little digs.


    Thest few days of our contract, I


    had distancedmyself f rom her, she

    The merhori es made it even more

    Veronica was the only one he had never touched and even that said something.


    “I would like to meet her.” Veronica''s tone changes. her words be lighter as though she was suddenly happy about everything.


    She’s up to something.’ Aero mutters.


    "No." I tell Veronica


    “You can''t hide her forever Dane. I told you, I''m home. It''s time for me to put down some proper roots instead of spending all of your money on


    travelling.” She flutters her eyshes again.


    I was so tempted to kick her out. but so far, she hadn’t done anything wrong apart from make a fewments


    “Have you got a job?” I ask


    “I have. It’s nothing major, just a


    personal assistant to someone in

    over. "Guess I don’t need this


    afhiymore.”


    “What game are you trying to y Veronica?


    “No game. Like I said, it’s time to stop exploring. It’s time to set up home. I am a Wolf after all and we are useless without a pack.”


    She’s done something.’ Aero mutters.


    “What did you do, Veronica?”


    “Nothing.” She halds her hands up. "I swear I''m telling the truth.”
