*****Alex's POV*****
"Erika, wait!" I called out, my voice filled with desperation. But she kept walking, her pace quickening. "Please, just give me a chance," I pleaded, desperately trying to catch up to her.
"Erika!" I yelled out again, holding her hand and finally getting her attention.
She turned to look at me, her eyes burning with hatred. I gulped, taking in deep breaths as I tried to form words.
"What do you want?"
"To apologize." I blurted out.
"It won't work," she replied and tried to leave, but I held her back again. "Erika, please just give me two minutes of your time…"
"You're not even worth a second of my time and you think I'll give you two minutes? Look Alpha Alexander, whatever you have to say to me, I don't want to hear it. You can shove it down your throat!" She yelled out and snatched her hand away from mine.
Erika turned and walked out of the hospital.
"This is your chance to get our mate!" Elijah cooed in my head and I scoffed.
"Elijah calm your claws!"
I bolted out of the hospital, determined to catch up with her. She was on the verge of getting into her car when I finally made it outside, rushing to halt her.
"Erika, can't you just give me a moment to explain?" I pleaded, my voice filled with desperation.
She forcefully pushed me away, her Alpha strength evident. "Alex, I don't want to hear it!"
Why did it feel like convincing women had become an impossible task these days?
She tried to climb into the car again, but I pulled her back again and she turned to glare at me.
"Erika, I'm sorry for everything that happened!" I said calmly and she froze.
I know I was a douche bag in the past, believing Serenity over my own wife and Luna, but I wanted to make things right.
Erika wasn't to blame at all, and now that I discovered the evidence against Seren, I realized I had been in the wrong. I had been deceiving myself, thinking I could earn her forgiveness and promising to leave her if she didn't want me back. But the truth is, I want Erika back so badly.
You know that saying, "You don't know what you have until you lose it"? Well, it was definitely true. All those years we spent together, Erika put in so much effort to keep the Moonforest Pack united. She made sacrifices, even giving up her Alpha position, just to be with me. And I never appreciated everything she did until now.
I got it. I understood why she was so angry and who she was aiming that anger at. I was a scumbag, and I was ready to change. I was willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means giving up everything the Moonforest Pack owns.
I would do anything to get her back into my life.
"You're sorry? Oh… alright." She said nonchalantly and still turned around to enter her car.
I frowned and pulled her back.
"Is that all you have to say?" I asked her and she scoffed.
