Chapter 0044
“Matt!” 1 exclaim, my desperation growing.
He shakes his head as he rolls his eyes. “And you were so convinced of your ‘oh, so wonderful and perfect pack‘ that you wouldn’t ever have a chance to show you otherwise. Don’t worry, I get it.”
“No!” 1 protest quickly but close my eyes as 1 am too fast to answer. “I mean, yes, of course. You certainly have the idea of your pack being the best and perfect as well, right?”
He lifts his brow at me, as my shoulders slump. “Right?”
“I don’t know what you want me to tell you, Missy.” He sighs, throwing his napkin on his plate. “I didn’t think anything about your pack as it came to you. I just wanted to be with my mate. But maybe it is different for you because you have no wolf.”
I gasp audibly at the impact his words have on me. It feels like a hard hit into my stomach and my insides turn, making me want to empty my stomach onto the romantically decorated table..
I would never have thought that it could blow up into my face if I told him.
Matthew was actually my last chance of getting at least one of them on my side.
But I should have known.
They do not care about weakness.
This is why their pack members are all so happy and cult–like unburdened.
They are the strongest in the Northern Hemisphere.
And would all cringe at a mate without a wolf.
Without exception..
“You are worthless to them,‘ Cassy sneers, shooting tears into my eyes.
“I’m being serious. It’s all new to me, and my pack had these prejudices regarding your pack. Now I can see that it’s all total bullshit. But before seeing and realizing all this I was very afraid!”
Taking a deep breath, I add pleadingly. “I just wanted to tell you because it is right. that you know. I will tell Logan and Cayden as soon as I get the chance to as well. I

understand if you are disappointed and mad at me. And I’m so sorry!”
He stares at me for another heartbeat, but for me, it seems like an eternity.
“What about Fynn?” He asks, his face expressionless.
“Huh?” I blink, making him groan.
“What about Fynn?” He repeats himself. “Does he already know?”
I think about lying to him shortly but eventually nod, making him exhale distressed.
“I told him in the hospital,” I answer lowly, and he nods repeatedly while pinching his bottom lip.
“Did he react like an asshole?” He asks, a strange tone in his voice.
I scrunch my nose, shrugging. “If you want to put it like this… Yes, he was really
mean.”
“Okay,” he breathes out and pushes his chair back to get up. “Okay.”
I watch him pass me and re–enter my bedroom while my heart breaks.
Cassy is laughing hysterically while I feel myself tear up.
I don’t know how much more I can take.
“Matthew!” I call for him while I skyrocket out of my seat.
Throwing my napkin onto the table, I don’t know what actually gets me to react like this instead of just staying in my seat in shame and letting go of my tears depressingly, but I can’t seem to do otherwise.
I can’t lose him as well.
Not my Matthew.
As soon as I stumble back into my bedroom, I halt in my tracks shocked.
Matthew is standing there and is looking at me with his head tilted.
His hands are in his pockets as his eyes rake over me, and I take a few steps closer towards him slowly even if my brain screams at me to run the other way.
Cassy fell silent and is now as curious to see his intent as I am.
My heart beats painfully against my rib cage as I wait for him to move or to insult
me, and it takes him an eternity to do so.
“Do you want me to reject you, mate?” He asks me, sending a shudder down my spine.
