Not deserving forgiveness

«Every time, we grew closer.»

«That's how it works,» Nate explained. «You can't stay with your mate and think you two won't know each other. You'll grow closer and want to share more and more every time. At first, it's just physical. But it becomes mental, and then of the soul.»

The woman nodded, bowing her head in shame.

«I betrayed you, Nate. And I didn't even notice. I'm so sorry.»

«You said he discovered about... About that.»

«Oh, he just knows I'm bad at controlling my shape. But it won't be long before he discovers everything else. His interrogations are so wicked that it took me so long to find out.»

«And what made you realise?»

«He called me by name.»

«He's as smitten as you are. I'm sure he wouldn't have made such a mistake if he also wasn't losing control,» Nate said. «But you should have told me, regardless of your intentions.»

She sighed, staring at her fingers.

«It's not all.»
