Chapter 139 Chapter 139

Alaric's POV

Work has kept me busy these past few days, tying me to my office and my desk more than I would otherwise like.

But proposals needed approved and papers needed signed. Though my heart remained in Bloody Moon pack lands, I couldn't abandon all of my responsibilities to pursue it.

Besides, even I can admit, that after everything I've done, wooing Cara again is going to take time. It's taken me far too long to recognize my feelings for her, and in that time she has learned not to trust me. It will take time to tear down that foundation of mistrust and rebuild.

I need time to show her that I am the kind of man she can depend on, and that I won't hurt her again.

"You've been working nonstop the past few days," my beta John says. He is a good man. Not as talented a beta as Cara, but no one would be able to fill the shoes she left behind. "I think it would be in your best interest if you took the evening off to rest."

As he suggests it, I notice that my eyes are drooping somewhat and my movements are more sluggish than they should be.

Maybe I have been overdoing it, trying to finish all my work so that I can return to BloodyMoon and Cara as soon as possible. My heart is pushing me forward, but even a body as strong as mine has limits.
