"I should take my leave." Zephyr said standing up abruptly.
They had been seated in silence and it had gotten uncomfortable for the Alpha. He could tell from how pale Raula looked, that she did not like what she was hearing.
"Zephyr." She called wheeling herself forward just as he too had taken a few steps.
Zephyr stopped waiting for her to say what she really wanted to say.
"Please stay." She begged.
He contemplated briefly before taking his seat. His body was upright, his eyes on her expectantly.
Raula knew that this time around she had to speak. She had to express herself clearly. She could not bask in the comfort of silence anymore like she had been doing for the past few minutes.
She sighed ready to begin speaking despite the heavy pressure on her chest.
"You told me, that when I feel the mate bond for someone else. When I find my fated, that I should accept whoever and forget about what I feel for you." She said.
