Then the beep of his voice interrupted me.
“Shit, I made you snickerdoodle cookies, they’re ready to go out of the oven now,” He said and I could hear the hurt in his voice.

It was very kind, but because he never asked me and just started baking cookies without asking anything.

I suspected he wanted to delay the inevitable, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. He heard me walk into the kitchen and he looked up at me. With his deep brown eyes still glistening with tears.

Poor guy, I wish he hadn’t pushed me this far, I wish I had met him before, I wish he was my first fated mate. That we’ve met when I still had the trust in matebounds that I had growing up. Things would have been so different between us then, now I was about to reject a man giving him the same pain as I had experienced myself. Not saying anything about. his apologies, I opened my mouth to reject him. But I couldn’t the words. seemed to be lodged in my throat. Looking around I saw my favorite cookies he had made me. The boxes of books he brought back to his home and then to me without a promise I would accept him as my mate. And I couldn’t anymore I could not reject him and I could not keep telling myself he was just like David.
“Since you seem so eager to put timelines on our mating process, I will give you one chance,” I told him.

The only reply the spoon he was using clattering as it slipped from his hands and fell on the floor. He watched me intently, waiting for me to finish what I was telling him before he would answer me.
“The six months you and your parents agreed on, I’ll give you those but I have been through the wringer and I want to take it slow. Slower than any wolf in the history of our kind have ever gone. I’m not accepting you
