2 - My Mate? Mine

I hadn't touched her yet. Part of that control thing. Keeping control of myself, letting her choose what she wanted to do, that was my plan. I wanted her to touch me, hell, I wanted her to jump in my arms. I wanted to kiss her and make it better. That was my dream at least.

I didn't do anything though. I just sat there with my head down, waiting for her to respond.

"What do you mean exactly, by you'll do anything to earn my forgiveness?"

"Whatever you want it to mean." I meant that too, if she wanted me to walk buck naked over hot coals and then roll around in them I would. This whole thing was my fault, hell from the fucking get go, and I'll do whatever necessary.

Aribella was raised to be a strong female, then tragedy, misunderstandings, and bad wolves worked to beat her down. Steeling herself, working to protect herself and her small pack of friends in the same situation, she worked to find a way out. Protecting herself and believing that the only thing that she could do is fight back became her life. When the ones that are supposed to help her, let her down, she has to stay strong. But what happens when someone that let her down, someone who has betrayed her, wants to fight for her? Will she let them or will she let it come between them?
