Lesley’s POV I was not allowing myself to get excited about this! I was going on a date with my mate, sure! But if he made a last-minute cancelation, I wouldn’t show him that it hurt me. I was preparing to get disappointed, even preparing for the fact that this might even be his punishment for me. Get me worked up to rub it in my face later. I was NOT going to get worked up about this. I was his mate. Not someone he loved, right? I was just an inconvenience that he got stuck with... I took a deep breath. Yeah, that’s it. Like ‘Anja’ said: he loved her less than a week ago. There was no way he loved me. Or even cared for me. I took one last look in the mirror. Luckily, all my bruises were gone, so I could show a little skin for once without endangering my old pack. Tight black legging
