Chapter 79

Chapter 79.

Nelly’s POV.

Two weeks later.

“You’re the one I want to spend my life with,” Kex’s voice rang in my head, clear as a bell.

I had heard him say those words two weeks ago, and yet I still didn’t understand what he meant. I had tried to get him to explain, but he always evaded my questions, promising that one day I would understand. But I was tired of waiting. So I gave up?

I pushed the food in front of me to the side, my appetite long gone. I had been using a wheelchair for a week now, and I was beginning to feel stir–crazy. Finally, after a lot of hard work and determination, I was able to walk again.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t overjoyed. I had almost lost all hope, but Kex, ever the optimist, had never stopped believing in me. He had practiced with me, giving me. hope and encouragement when I felt like giving up. I couldn’t help but think that his mate was one lucky woman.

I pulled my shirt off and headed to the bathroom for a quick shower. Kex had been so busy with pack matters lately, I hadn’t even seen his shadow in days. He had been consumed with matters of the pack.

But I couldn’t help but feel a little neglected. I was worried that our relationship would suffer if he continued to be so consumed by his work. I wanted him to make time for us, don’t blame me if I act like his wife. I finished my shower and toweled off, wondering if I should bring up my concerns with him.

I put on a white gown, one that revealed a bit of cleavage and stopped just above my knees, revealing much of my curves. I applied a light touch of makeup, accentuating my features without trying to look too made–up.

I left my hair down, letting the soft waves fall around my shoulders. If I was going to talk to Kex about my concerns, I wanted to look my best. I wanted to be confident and beautiful.

I walked out of my room, heading towards Kex’s office. But as I passed by, I noticed that his door was slightly ajar. I couldn’t help but peek inside. I saw him sitting at his desk, staring at the files In Front of him, completely absorbed in his work.

He didn’t even notice me as I opened the door wider and stepped into the room. I cleared my throat, but he still didn’t look up. I was beginning to feel a bit irritated. Was I
