Princess of the Werewolves novel Chapter 80

She was quiet for a while, probably trying to find the right words to say. "You rejected me, Asher. You took one look at me and decided that you didn't want me" she stated. I wanted to say that I had a reason. I wanted to tell her that it was a stupid mistake, the worst mistake I've ever made. But I couldn't. She's been holding everything in, but its not healthy. She needs to say what she feels and thinks, even if it breaks my heart.

"I don't know why you did it. I didn't even say one word to you. All it took was one look, one fucking look and you judged me" she spat. "You rejected me, then walked away like I wasn't shit to you!" she shouted.

My eyes stung as my mate basically told me that I was an asshole that didn't deserve her. It hurt like hell, but I deserved it. "I coul-"

"And I was stupid enough to forgive you!" she hissed, stopping me from explaining myself. I had to walk away. I couldn't see her look so broken, so sad. "We've been through so much fucking shit. But we sorted it out. And this- I don't even know how to fix this" she said before sighing in defeat.

A couple of tears freely fell on my lap. Eve was quiet, so I took the time to talk. "I fucked up. I know that. I fucked up so many times, and you forgave me. But I swear to god, I don't do it on purpose. I'm trying to be a good mate, I really am. I don't mean to do all this shit, it just happens" I said honestly.

"Yeah. Shit happens" Eve snapped.

I ran my hand trough my hair. "I'm so so sorry. I know that apologizing is never enough, but I will always, always regret rejecting you" I informed her.

"I just-" she paused, taking a deep breath. "I need time, Asher" she said softly.

Then, I'll give her time and space and whatever. "Okay. I love you, so much, Eve" I stated. I didn't hang up. I needed to see if she would say it. I silently prayed that she would say it. And she did.

"I love you, too, Asher"

She still loves me.

I want to forgive him, just not right now. I don't think I'm capable of forgiving him, yet. "I just-" I sighed, looking for the right words. "I need time, Asher" I said quietly.

"Okay" Asher agreed. "I love you, so much, baby" Asher said.

"I love you, too, Asher" I responded before hanging up. I dropped down on my bed and stuffed my face into the pillows.

I heard my door slowly creek open. "Hey, Eve" Shawn said softly. The bed dipped as he sat next to me and soothingly rubbed my back.

"Am I an idiot?" I asked. Knowing Shawn, he will be honest with me. I knew that he was standing by the door, and I know that he was listening to the whole phone call.
