His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 123: Decisions

Edrick

“What if I fall in love with someone someday?” Moana asked, her green eyes full of fire and fury. “What then?”

I froze at her words. My eyes widened as what she said settled in fully, and already I felt a little bit of anger and jealousy beginning to bubble up inside of me.

Even though I partially understood what Moana meant, and that she didn’t know yet that she was my mate, what she said just then angered me. The thought of her being with anyone else, despite the fact that I knew I would never be able to get married, made me feel almost sick. I didn’t know how to respond for the longest time as a million different things whirled around inside my head.

Finally, I was able to speak.

“You’re free to make any decision you want,” I replied, feeling my blood run cold as I spoke. “But you had better be prepared to pay the price for a decision like that.”

Moana’s face fell. She glared at me intensely for several long moments, almost as though she was in disbelief, before she spoke. “Is that a threat?” she asked, instinctively placing her hand over her belly and instantly making me feel guilty for my choice of words. Of course I wasn’t threatening her; I only meant that she should be prepared to face the consequences if she chose to be with someone else. If she was going to have an issue with me being with someone else, even if it was only a fake relationship with another woman, then I felt as though I had every right to set my own boundaries as well. If she was going to fall in love with another man, then she could also leave my house to go and be with that other man.

her by my side. But at the same time, I knew that I would never get married, and I still wasn’t even sure if I was willing or ready to commit myself to a mate bond. Would it be best if I just cut her loose so she could be in a normal relationship with someone? If her wolf never fully emerged, then she would never know that I was supposed to be her fated mate, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it would be better for her like that. Not only that, but if she was already distracting me this much, I couldn’t imagine the level of distraction that would come from

But what was done was done, and we needed to stick with it for the time being if we didn’t want even more unnecessary attention. If I announced my fake relationship with Moana and then she moved out and we “broke up” a week later, it would only label me as someone who couldn’t commit to anything.
