Chapter 64: Humans like it slow

«It was my fault!» Nate said, running a hand through his hair.

His desperate expression and guilty tone, other than his quick admission, surprised Roxy. She thought she was going to get yelled at.

Instead, the Alpha was blaming himself.

«And you warned me, but I didn't listen... I thought they would leave her alone if they felt my scent. Instead, it made things worse.»

«Things can be fixed, Alpha.»

«How?»

«Just come clean. Tell her everything about you. And ask her to become your wife. If she accepts, she'll be a regular member of the pack.»

«I can't do that,» Nate sighed. «Lara didn't accept to marry me.»

«You asked her?»

«Yes, of course.»

«Did you get on your knees and all?»

Nate blinked. Was that the problem? He didn't mind kneeling in front of Lara, but he simply didn't think of it.

In the end, he could try begging her... But would that work?
