Chapter 128
I was stunned. More than shock, I was upset. I did not want our friendship to turn out like this. I would have been happier if he had come to tell me about someone else who he liked but not me.
The pair of desperate eyes were focused on me. I could hear how his heart was beating faster as he waited for my answer.
How would I reject him on his face? I did not want him to be heartbroken.
“From when?” I asked, trying to compose myself.
He lowered his head and started to speak.
“From the day I met you, from the day Jason brought you to the pack house.”
I looked away from him as I remembered the day when I first met him. He was a nice guy, and his every gesture was kind toward me. I thought it was because I was his best friend’s sister.
With a heavy heart, I wanted to say that I had never seen him like
that.
“Eric, I-”
“Natalia, I know you are a single mother. I also know that your children are your life. But believe me. You also have your own life where you are really alone. You need someone who can protect you.”
I frowned at him. “Protect me from what? You know that I am-
“An alpha. I know. But what about your emotional and mental support?”

“Love is not based on need, Eric. I mumbled as a few memories of my past reflected in my mind.
“Love is something we feel for someone even if they are not
aware of it, even if they want to decline our feelings for them,” I murmured.
The days when I used to roam around my ex–husband just to get his attention returned to my mind. It took me a lot of days to wait for him, and when he finally came back home, it was after
several weeks had passed. I used to love him with all my heart and soul. However, he never acknowledged my love. In the end, I only had to feel heartbroken.
I felt a hand hold my hand and caress the back of my hand with a
thumb.
I looked at Eric, who gave me a sad look and said,
འ
“My love is not weak either, Natalia. I have been in love with you for so many years. I want to be with you. I will always try to make you happy. As you know, I live in this house. You all are my family. You don’t have to think about staying away from your family. You can be with them forever.”
I got what he meant. He explained to me the advantages of being with him.
I heaved a sigh and tried to move my hand, but he held it tightly. “Natalia, I love your children like mine. I will give them my name. You will not have to think about them anymore. You don’t have to hide them as well. You can proudly tell others that they have their own father.”
I felt a pang in my heart. His words really mesmerized me. He was a really sensible man. He indeed loved my children a lot.
