"Amber Crest Restaurant, private dining room, seven o'clock tonight. Is this acceptable?"

Her response came quickly: "Fine."

My heart hammered against my ribs. She had agreed to meet with me. After everything I'd done, she was giving me a chance.

I typed another message, hope making me bold: "Shall I escort you tonight?"

"No need, I'll drive myself when I'm ready."

The rejection stung, but I couldn't afford to display my usual Alpha dominance and possessiveness. She had agreed to meet - I had to seize this opportunity to show her I had changed.

"Understood, seven o'clock tonight, I'll be waiting for you at Amber Crest Restaurant. Until then."

Olivia didn't reply, leaving me staring at my phone screen. My wolf paced anxiously within me, desperate to know her state of mind.

Was she angry? Resigned? Did she plan to tell me definitively that our mate bond was over?

I pushed those dark thoughts away. I had one chance to prove myself worthy of her forgiveness.

I immediately contacted Theodore Barnes, the restaurant manager. "I need the entire third floor reserved for tonight. Private dining, no other guests."
