Hope's pov
I followed Aiden after he left and I found him at the house packing
“what's going, why are you packing? "I asked
“I'm leaving, I have a better chance of finding my mate now before you decide you don't want to be responsible for anyone's fate" he answered roughly
“where is this coming from "I asked confused
“I like you and I've liked you since the day we met but when I realized you were the long awaited dragon queen and you had a fated one I kept my distance and kept my feelings to myself . Even though I knew you can never be mine knowing that you didn't want your fated one I prayed that Heloise for the first time ever would give a second chance fate, I know that's selfish on my part but a little part of me always hoped."he looked at the scarf I had put back on my neck
