Chapter 82 – Brief Acceptance

• King Gerald's Pov
• My mate is standing there when I turn around. She still has that breathtaking beauty, with her blonde hair framing her exquisite face like a wreath, but something has changed about her. She has a more radiant complexion than before, and the bags under her eyes give her face a swollen appearance.
• Even with the anguish in her eyes, though, she maintains her grace. She is very adamant, even though I know I am the reason behind her pain. Had she chosen to accept my rejection, she might already be enjoying a fulfilling life in her pack, perhaps even beside a potential mate for a second chance.
