Chapter 0210


    “Serves him right.” With the way he''s fuming, if Conrad were to appear in front of him right now, he''d


    punch the living hell out of him. It makes me feel so good.


    “My father cheated on my mother too.” I ride. He looks at me and blinks rapidly in shock. I nod my


    head. “Yeah, he did. Worst of all, she was his mate, but he cheated on her and that led to the birth


    of Rhea.”


    “That was a messed up situation.”


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    “It was. It used to be just my mum, dad and I, but suddenly, one day, he came home with Rhea and


    her mum. Rhea was still a little girl. About three years old at the time. He told my mum about his


    infidelity and said he had to marry Rhea mum no matter what.”


    “No, he didn''t!”


    “Yes he did and he married her. My mum was devastated. She couldn''t take the heartbreak and the


    shame so she left. I was about four years old when that happened and I''ve never seen her again.


    Whenever I tried to ask my father about her, he would scold me and threaten to beat me up, so I


    stopped asking. Right now I don''t even know if my mother is still alive or not.” I exin, my voice


    thick with mncholy. Alpha Reagan lets out a tired sigh, running his fingers through his thick hair.


    He looks speechless.


    “Wow!” He exims under his breath. “Your father was cruel to your mother.”


    “Yes, he was.” I try to smile. I have the urge to beg him to grant me permission to find my mother,


    but on a second thought, I shove the idea off a cliff. Maybe some other time, not now.


    “Enough about my sad past, what about you? I heard you lost your mate. That must have been a


    devastating experience.” The look in his eyes turn sad. I nearly regret bringing up the topic.


    “Devastated, distraught, heartbroken… there''s no strong enough word to describe how I felt when


    she died. I felt like my world hade crushing down on me. Like there was nothing else for me in


    this world until y…” He stops on his words and shakes swallows dryly.


    “I… I''m so sorry about that.”


    I can''t even imagine what it feels like to lose ones mate.


    “My wolf took the hardest low. He didn''t speak to me or let me feel him for months. I thought I had


    lost him. I was so sacred.” His voice breaks in two halves. Gloom has ovee him. A pining


    mncholy spreads through the atmosphere that made me let out an exasperated sigh. “When he


    finally came back, the coping mechanism he devised to deal with the pain of our loss was sex. He


    did wonders to my libido, that''s why uh… that''s why I had to sleep with different girls almost every


    night.” He looks a bit embarrassed to say that, but all I can feel is sympathy for him. He has been


    through so much.


    “I''m so sorry about that.” I whisper.


    “No.” His face suddenly lights up with a smile. “Don''t be.” He assures me, but I know talking about


    this with me is a huge step out of hisfort zone. He has decided to do this for my sake and now


    that we''ve opened up our deepest wounds for each other to see, I feel like we understand each


    other better. “Ashanti.” He calls calmly and takes my hand in his. My heart skips a beat when he


    nts soft, feathery kisses all over the back of my hands and holds them against his cheeks with


    his eyes closed. “You’ve made that pain go away. You''ve made my life better. Before, I only lived for


    my people, but you came into my life and made me want to live for myself. You''ve given my life


    meaning again. And for that I''m grateful. For that, I say thank you.” He bring my hands to lips again


    and kisses them. I smile so hard, my cheeks start hurting.


    I can''t believe this moment has actuallye to pass.


    Lena could be right. If Alpha Reagan feels this way about, it means he''s truly my mate. Maybe he


    hasn''t recovered from his previous bond, that''s why he cannot feel the bond between us. Maybe his


    wolf is too hurt to feel our mate bond, that''s why he hasn''t been notified that we are mates.


    If that''s the case then, I''m going to treat him more wholeheartedly and tender his broken heart with


    love. With time he''ll heal and if we are truly mates, he''ll feel our bond.


    I''m going to follow my heart.


    “At first I didn''t want to open my heart to anyone else, that''s why I didn''t fight King when he kept


    urging me to sleep with different girls. I just wanted to be alone for the rest of my life, but not


    anymore. I''m willing to give this rtionship a chance. We''ll take it one step at a time until we both


    get there. I''m willing to change for you. To go back to being that sweet, romantic Lover I used to be.


    You deserve it.”


    “Oh, Reagan.” I chuckle in tears. My heart is swelling with emotions and I can''t take it anymore.


    He''s being too nice and sweet and I don''t know what to do with myself.


    “Come here.” He pulls me into his warm embrace and nts a gentle kiss on my hair.


    I''m on cloud nine.


    My heart is going to burst with happiness.


    “I look forward to spending the rest of life with you.”
