Chapter 0136

I gaze at him with sorrow,

"Maybe what we had was a toxic

relationship, but we were together for three years. And look at you—

you never truly understood me. What right do you have to say you love me?"

Alaric's lips tremble. "...Cara, I..."

He leans forward, ready to argue. Cutting him off deflates him somewhat-

his nature as Alpha King usually grants him dominance in every conversation.

"If I go back and become your beta again, what would that change?" I ask. "Would I have to marry you? Marry a man who doesn't understand me, who doesn't truly love me? Would I have to spend my life chasi just like before?"

"You need to calm down, Cara," Alaric says, standing up.

He presses his lips together, as if at a loss for words. He reaches for my hand, but I slap it away.

I use force this time. A faint redness blooms across the back of his hand, but he says nothing.

"I am calm," I say firmly.

"I regret nothing about our past, Alaric. I don't regret loving you or making sacrifices for you." I meet his gaze. Love is a wonderful, beautiful thing, and neither of us should feel ashamed for having loved." "I don't regret loving you. But do you know what, Alaric?" I take a deep breath. "A woman has the right to choose to love a man

and the right to walk away from a man who is utterly undeserving of her, even if he is her fated mate."

Alaric's eyes widen.
