I sighed and ignored Alison, heading for the door. Then, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Michael pressing his face against mine.
I stopped, turned to Michael, and said, “Michael, let me go in alone.”
“No,” Michael thundered, his face as pale as it had been at Robert’s succession ceremony.
I felt helpless, reached for the door handle, and didn’t want to argue too much about this with Michael. Then, I saw the panic on Alpha John and the Luna’s faces, and I changed my mind at that moment.
Alpha John and the Luna might have had educational problems with Robert, but they were elders and innocent of what had happened to me. I couldn’t bear to see people my parents’ age get so scared because of my actions.
I reached out to stop Michael from following me in. “I need to talk to him alone for a while. You stay here.”
“I said no. I disagree.” Michael’s tone was firm.
I knew Michael had already made a significant concession by letting me come here. He wouldn’t allow me to stay alone with Robert. I could understand all his worries, but I could handle this.
I gave the people watching us a comforting look and looked at my mate; I softened my voice and said, “Michael, I will only stay in there for a short while. I guarantee that it won’t be too long. You stand outside the door. We won’t be more than ten meters away.”
“I said no.” Michael sounded anxious. “The last time you met him, he almost forced mark you. I won’t let you take any more risks.”
I saw that Alpha John and Luna had turned pale instantly, and Alison’s expression was a little ugly. But this was an indisputable fact. Robert had indeed done that to me.
I couldn’t help but sigh again. I used my gaze to signal Michael to look at Alpha John and Luna standing nearby as I said, “They’ve already said that Robert is very weak now. He can’t mark right now. And the last time...”
I paused for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed. The person who caused Robert’s current situation, Michael, was right in front of me while Robert’s parents were there. I felt very uncomfortable.
I lowered my voice and said, “You’ve already taken away his ability to mark. He is not even a werewolf now. He can’t do anything to hurt me. He doesn’t have the ability now.”
Michael didn’t say anything, but his determined gaze told me he wasn’t convinced.
He looked at me with his dark brown eyes, and I was frustrated because my influence with my mate didn’t seem as strong as I thought. I probably wouldn’t be able to change Michael’s mind. He was stubborn at times.
I finally tried to say, “Sweetheart, I’m not going to leave you. My feelings for you are not going to change because of this meeting. I love you all the time. I came here today and insisted on doing this not for myself but us.”
Michael seemed to relax a little, but his hand was still in mine.
I looked into his eyes, put my hand in his palm, and continued, “Robert and I had a mate connection, and I want to cut it off completely, which means I want to see him one last time. Be it love or hate, sympathy or guilt. I don’t want any of my feelings to stay with him. Can you allow me to do that?”
Michael looked into my eyes, and we were at a stalemate for a while. Then, Michael nodded, agreeing with me. He was still upset that I wanted to see Robert alone, but he accepted it.
I gave Michael a grateful smile, and then I opened the door.
“I’ll give you five minutes.” I heard Michael’s dissatisfied voice from behind.
I nodded in acknowledgment. When I pushed the door open, the room was dark.
It was a small loft with a pointed roof. Moonlight poured from the roof, illuminating a small area of the floor. I took a deep breath and walked into the room.
There were still some things that I hadn’t said to Michael. In the past, I had strong feelings for Robert. After Robert destroyed everything, my feelings for him disappeared, but our bond was still there, even though it wasn’t what I wanted at the time.
But even in the past, when I was obsessed with Robert, my feelings for him were nothing compared to what I have with Michael now.
Most importantly, I tried to fight for a mate relationship with Robert, but all he gave me in return was an insult. My mate relationship with Michael, which I tried so hard to escape, was made unbreakable by Michael’s efforts.
Now, my mate relationship with Michael had grown from a fragile sapling to a living plant that we both look forward to and care for, and it would continue to grow. Eventually, it would become a giant tree.
