Chapter 206 Audrey
The scent of cherry blossoms and fresh coffee filled my lungs as I burst out into the spring air. I sta***gfuls of the stuff to help calm my nerves.
Why was I being like this? He was my mate, and I loved him; I should have been thrilled to see him after a month apart.
But seeing Edwin again brought up a lot of conflicting emotions that I hadn't even realized I'd been pushing down over the past month. On one hand, the break we took was sorely needed. And yet, on the other hand, I missed him dearly.
My eyes landed on a nearby fountain, its water sparkling in the sunlight. I made my way over and leaned against the cool stone edge, closing my eyes and focusing on the sound of the water trickling over the ridges.
"This is st**id," my wolf suddenly growled, breaking her month-long silence. "He loves us. We love him. Why are we doing this?"
I sighed and pursed my lips. "You know why," I thought back. "He broke a promise. He took away our autonomy, treated us like we were made of glass." "He was trying to protect us," my wolf argued.
"I know," I admitted. "But it hurt. Everyone treats me like I'm some fragile, precious thing because I'm the Silver Star. I felt like I was drowning. Maybe it was selfish to call things off temporarily, but I needed to breathe."
My wolf went silent again, but her anger was palpable even in her absence. She'd been like this over the past month; quiet and upset. I couldn't blame her, seeing as how I was separating us from our mate. But I felt as if I had little other choice. It was either this or cause even more emotional turmoil for the both of us by not taking the space we both needed. I needed to pass my final semester and get to know myself in this new body before I jumped into being the Silver Star and training for skills I didn't even know I possessed.

of that made much sense, even to me.
I looked up, startled, to see Edwin walking toward me. My heart ski**ed at the sight of him, especially as a gentle breeze tousled his dark hair.
"Are you okay?" he asked, stopping a few feet away.
I put on a brave face and forced a smile. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit tired. I was up late last night working on my thesis." I gestured vaguely toward the street, where various food trucks lined the curb. "I was thinking about grabbing a coffee from one of the food trucks nearby."
