Chapter 84
“ Is it okay if Rosy and I have some time alone please ? ” Blake said softly . His eyes were still not leaving my face .
“ Yes , of course , Bub , you rest okay . If you need anything , we will all be outside ” Nate smiled at me and gently placed a kiss on my forehead . I smiled internally , I was really warming up to him ,
They all got up and left the room , closing the door behind them . Blake sighed and finally got up from his seat . He walked over and sat near my feet on the bed . I instinctively pulled my legs up and hugged them , I wasn’t fully comfortable yet . Blake kept his head down and stared at his fingers .
“ Rosy … I’m sorry … I should have said something before the engagement and you had the right to decide after you knew everything about me . You never kept any secrets and I feel as though I’ve betrayed your trust by keeping a secret . Please understand it’s not something I can just tell anyone . It’s important that only people that need to know find out otherwise our kind will be in danger . ”
He looked up at me and turned a little to face me .
“ There is no pressure for you to be with me if you don’t want to . I obviously understand if this is something you don’t want to be part of . Just know that you mean the world to me and I promise , I will always keep you happy ”
His words were hitting me in the heart . Deep down I knew Blake was an amazing guy and would never hurt me but was I ready to accept his lifestyle ? Amongst my thoughts , something dawned on me .
“ Kyra … was she your mate ? ” My voice was still uneven . It sounded more like an accusation rather than a question .
Blake chuckled “ No Angel , she wasn’t . Kyra wasn’t one of us . Sometimes it can take forever for a werewolf to find its mates . In the meantime , we can have relationships with humans and in some cases even build a future with them . I had been searching for my mate since I turned 16 but then I met Kyra and a defeated me decided to pursue a relationship with her . ”
“ I wasn’t going to tell her anything about me until after we got married but when I found out how much of a bitch she was , I realised that there was a reason werewolves had soul mates . There was a reason the bond was created . It was so that we loved and cherished the right person . So that we didn’t have to get our hearts broken chasing unworthy people . Her cheating in some ways was a blessing in disguise . If she hadn’t cheated , I would have moved here
and found you . ”
“ Everything happens for a reason and I couldn’t hide my life from you any longer because the more I got to know you , the more I understood that your insecurities are all from being lied to and taken advantage of . How could I do that to you ? How could I build our relationship on a lie ? ”
He got up from his spot and moved closer to me . He gently took my hands into his and looked at me , his eyes filled with so many emotions .
“ Rosy , all I ask for is for you to get to know this side of me . I promise you will not regret any of it . Please ? Just give this a chance ? Let me show you , we make the best husbands . ”
Every part of my body was screaming for me to run . It was screaming for me to say no because this was dangerous . They were dangerous . Even though Dwayne had said that they were as human as I was , I didn’t know if I wanted to believe him . I didn’t know if going down this path was what I wanted . I needed time to think , to understand and to figure out what I wanted .
“ Can I please go home ? I want some space and time to think ”
“ Yes , of course . I’ll take you home . ” Blake said and got up .
