Chapter 344 Nostalgic Feelings

I was still at my desk, reviewing reports, when Daniel came back into the office.

He didn’t say anything at first. He just leaned against the doorframe, watching me the way he used to before everything became complicated.

“You’ve been working nonstop,” he said finally.

I closed the file on my screen. “So have you.”

He nodded once. “Come with me.”

I frowned slightly. “Where?”

“Out,” he said. “Not a meeting. Not a briefing. Just… out.”

I studied his face. There was no command in his tone. No Alpha pressure. Just Daniel. That alone made me stand up.

“Give me ten minutes,” I said.

He smiled, small and careful, like he wasn’t sure he was allowed to. “I’ll wait.”

We didn’t take separate cars. That surprised me. He opened the passenger door himself, waited until I was seated, then closed it gently. The drive was quiet at first.

The city lights passed by as we moved farther from the business district. He drove without urgency, one hand on the wheel, the other resting loosely near the console.

“I didn’t plan this days ago,” he said after a while. “It wasn’t strategic.”

I glanced at him. “That’s new.”

He let out a short breath. “I know. But today felt like the wrong day to pretend we’re fine when we haven’t actually dealt with what happened between us.”

I didn’t answer right away. I didn’t need to. He was finally saying the things I’d waited for.

We stopped in front of a quiet restaurant tucked away from the main roads. It wasn’t flashy. No press. No pack presence. Just a place that felt… normal.

Inside, the lighting was soft. We were seated quickly, away from other guests. The waiter recognized Daniel but didn’t linger. That alone felt like a small mercy.

Whe

we were alone again, Daniel folded his hands on the table.

“This is me apologizing,” he said. “Formally. Properly.”

I tilted my head. “Go on.”

“I was a dick,” he said plainly. “I let fear speak louder than trust. I let my wolf react before my mind did. And I hurt you.”

I didn’t interrupt him.

“I know I had reasons,” he continued. “I know the situation was complicated. But none of that excuses how alone I made you feel.”

My fingers tightened slightly around my glass. “You did.”

“I know,” he said. “And I hate that I was the one who caused it.”

The food arrived, giving us a pause. We thanked the waiter, then sat there for a moment, neither of us touching our plates.

“I didn’t stop loving you,” I said quietly. “Not even when you pulled away.”

He looked up sharply. “I never stopped either.”

“Then why did it feel like I lost you?” I asked.

He swallowed. “Because I was trying to protect you by standing apart. And that was the worst decision I could have made.”

I studied his face. There was no defensiveness left. No pride. Just honesty.

“I don’t want us to survive this,” he said. “I want us to be happy again. Like we were. Before the games. Before the manipulation. Before everything started pressing in on us from all sides.”

I nodded slowly. “I want that too. But happiness doesn’t erase responsibility. We still have a company under threat. A pack watching us. Enemies who are patient.”

“I know,” he said. “This isn’t an escape. It’s a reminder. Why are we fighting so hard?”

We finally started eating. The conversation eased, drifting into smaller things. The food. The city. Memories that didn’t hurt to touch anymore.

“Do you remember the first time we went out like this?” he asked./

I smiled despite myself. “You wore a suit that was too stiff and kept checking your phone.”

“I was terrified,” he admitted. “I kept thinking someone would challenge me or call me back to pack business.”

“And I thought you’d leave halfway through dinner,” I said.

“I didn’t,” he said. “And I wouldn’t now.”

That mattered more than I expected it to.

After dinner, we walked outside instead

Daniel slowed his steps to match mine, “eading straight back to the car. The night air was cool, steady.

“I don’t want to lose us again,” he said.

“You won’t,” I replied. “Not if we keep talking like this.”

He nodded. “I’ll do better. Not just as Alpha. As your husband.”

I stopped walking and looked at him fully. “I don’t need perfection. I need honesty. Even when it’s uncomfortable.”

“You’ll have it,” he said. “Every time.”
