to forget him, filling my days to the brim, drowning my thoughts in busyness. But as soon as |id eyes on him again, the futility
of my efforts became painfully evident.
| could no longer deny the truth. Forgetting ke? If | searched the deepest corners of my heart, there he was, a constant
presence.
Erasing him from my life? | had deceived myself into thinking | had seeded, yet, as time passed, wasn''t ke the very first
thought that greeted me in the morning? Wasn''t he thest thought before | surrendered to sleep? And now, here he stood,
holding my hand. A simple touch sent shivers through my soul.
Could | truly continue to ignore it?
Could | honestly brush aside these overpowering emotions that surged within me whenever | looked into his eyes?

My mind raced in turmoil, a storm of confusion and fear swirling within me. | had spent so long convincing myself that ke and |
were a thing of the past, but now | felt utterly lost, as panic crept in. Anxiety gnawed at the edges of my thoughts.
Then, in that crucial moment, a soothing presence emerged in my mind, the voice of my wolf, Aurora. "Chloe," she whispered my
name, a gentle call in the midst of my chaos. | trembled and found the courage to speak, my voice trembling as | asked, "Aurora,
what should | do?"
"Don''t be afraid," she reassured me, her voice a balm to my anxious soul. "The answer to that question, haven''t you known it all
along?" Her words held a profound wisdom as she continued, her tone soft and serene. "Chloe, your emotions are mine. If you
truly despised ke, wouldn''t | feel repulsed by him?" She offered a perspective with crystal rity.

"Instead of revulsion, | find myself drawn to ke. | relish seeing him, feeling the warmth of his hand." | could sense the warmth
in her words, a metaphorical smile in her voice.
"So, my human, don''t overthink it any longer. Just follow your heart."

“| came here,pelled by hope against hope, that my words might sway you," he murmured, his touch a soothing balm on my
wounded heart.
"But as | see you cry like this, | am starting to have second thoughts about my actions," he confessed, his voice quivering with
regret.
"Chloe... I''m sorry for the pain I''ve caused," he whispered.
In that poignant moment, both of us knelt on the ground, broken and exposed, our vulnerabilitiesid bare.
"The path ahead is shrouded in darkness and peril. | will no longer give any promises to protect you and shield you from harm
anymore," ke continued, his gaze locked with mine. A solitary teardrop trailed down his face.
"This time, | won''t impose my desires upon you. I''ll stand by your choices and support your path," he vowed, his sincerity
breaking down the walls around my heart. "Chloe, this time, | won''t demand that you remain forever at my side as my mate."
"But... will you, once more, ept me?" | heard him say as | sobbed, my heart aching with longing.
“Wee me back into your life. However brief or enduring our journey, ept me again as your mate.”
"Do you agree?"
“Hah. How cruel,” | whispered, my heart shattering under the weight of my emotions.

cold ground, our unspoken emotions bridging the chasm between us.
Amidst the turbulent sea of feelings that threatened to engulf me, ke''s gentle touch on my face became an anchor of sce.
Slowly, as if his warmth could mend my wounded heart, the torrents of tears began to subside.
