It’s getting too late. I need to return.” I sat up, turning my back to him
“Of course, time is fast spent. We need to return. By the way, I have something to tell you.” He sighed. I rolled my eyes.
All he had to do was apologize. There was nothing else I wanted to hear.
He sighed again “I am leaving tomorrow”. He announced.
My heart broke. As a result of my anger, I had to pretend that I was not bothered or moved.
Deep within, I was hurting. I needed him now. Why was he leaving?
“I have to attend to something in the royal house but I promise you, I will be back in a couple of weeks, say, two weeks and when I come, we will be leaving together. You will be coming with me as my bride and my Luna” He announced, more like a consolation as he tried to place his hand on my shoulder.
Was he oblivious to the fact that I was upset or was he purposely acting like he did not see me? Like he did not know I was upset?
“Good for you” I rolled my eyes as I stood up. I was bleeding deep within but he could not see it.
Was his love blind and ignorant? Was his love short-sighted?
He held my hands “For my wish, I want us to walk back, as humans, not wolves. I want us to walk gently, enjoying the breeze and spending every minute together”
I stood gently and nodded. That was way better and easier than a kiss. He held my hands as we walked back gently. We were both quiet.
