"Is this what you want? Do you want to marry me?” he asked. As his finger sunk into her wet p*ssy, he fought back the groan that threatened to rise up his throat. Every time he faced her, he lost his control and did things he hadn’t planned. Her impact on him was far much more than Amelia ever had on him. She swallowed as she looked into his stormy blue eyes. She knew he hated her. But she didn't regret submitting to him. "Marking me as yours, Julian," she whispered. "You really are a woman who will do anything for your purpose. I’m impressed,” he snorted. He s*ck*d her skin and his gums tingled, his fangs itching to elongate and pierce her skin. If he pushed just a little harder, he would mark her. He didn't. How cruel and depressed for her that he took her but did not mark and claim her as his mate! Will Winter win Julian’s heart finally, or will she give up on him while he’s always hurt her?

I sat right next to him and stared at his sleeping face. "I'm sorry. I can't let you see me like this. You deserve someone strong and beautiful. I am nothing but a weak and useless she-wolf." I said out loud. I got up and went downstairs. I was going to go back to my apartment, but there was heavy rain outside. It would make it harder for me to get out of the no-man's-land safely. 'Is your decision already final?' Avi asked. 'Yes, Avi. I don't want to be around when he wakes up. I can't handle another breakup. Not from my mate. The less he knows, the better.' I replied. 'How are you so sure that he is going to reject us? We haven't even met him properly. What if he is not like Uriah?' She asked. 'I don't want to get my hopes high and then end up getting hurt. Yes, he may not be like Uriah. He can be the worst.' I replied. I stood by the door and watched as the rain fell and the thunder roared. They were like music to my troubled heart. At least, even for a little while, all the pain would go. If only the rain could wash all my pain away. Once the rain stopped, I would go back to my apartment and pack my bags. I would go as far away as possible from here. What he doesn't know won't hurt him. For now, I was going to let the rain numb my pain away. That was, until he engulfed me in a hug. "Mate." he groaned.
