Catherine's POV

After a long time, I finally said, "Since when did you have feelings for me? We don't see much of each other."

Leo turned around and said, "That day, when I went to your company to look for you, I was deeply impressed by the way you reasoned with me. I don't know why I like you. I think I am just like that. There are things that I know I shouldn't do, but I just want to give it a try. At first, I didn't think my feelings for you were a big deal. I thought I could control my emotions, and I could get you out of it any time I wanted. I thought I could convince everyone around me with my acting skills as if I was in a show or something. But I was wrong. I am obsessed with you, and I'm trapped in it. Catherine, it hit me hard when I heard that you are marrying Blake. Only then did I realize that I couldn't get you out of my mind. I'm struggling. I don't know what to do now."

As I listened to him, I was at a loss, too.

If Leo hadn't said this to me himself, I would have thought that Leo considered me as a friend.

"Leo, I don't know how to talk you out of this, but you've got to stop it. I'm sorry. I know I might hurt you more by saying this, but nothing will ever happen between us. Blake is my mate. Our wolves have recognized each other," I said.

Leo nodded. "I know. I can see that you and Blake love each other very much. You are the perfect match. Don't worry. I don't mean to stand in your way. I just need to tell you how I feel. Otherwise, I would have suffered every day."

I knew Leo was a man with moral boundaries. Now that he told me so, he must have made up his mind to put an end to it.

I wouldn't laugh at him or get angry. I just wanted to find a way to solve this problem.

The air was stagnant. We were both speechless and a little embarrassed.

I thought Leo and I would never get back to where we were.

"Don't tell Blake, OK?" Leo broke the silence, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

I nodded. "Don't worry. I won't tell him. This is between you and me."

"Catherine, will you think differently of me?" Leo raised his head, his eyes filled with sorrow.
