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.
