Chapter 239 (18+) I Fucking Loved This Girl

••• Maximillian’s POV •••

We returned to the Silentmane Canines Pack and had a quiet dinner with Rosa and Jaxon.

I kept monitoring Arra’s well-being, and my heart ached for her.

The usual rosiness in her cheeks hadn't returned, and she looked pretty pale and still a bit weak after losing control of herself in front of Abigail.

But my sweet Luna was now pretending to be strong again, except for the fact that she had to force herself to swallow her food.

Was it strange for me to feel happy when she leaned on me and showed her vulnerability at the prison?

Granted, I loved having a powerful Luna. That was what my pack and I, a ruthless Alpha, needed.

But sometimes, her strong personality made me feel like I was a useless man.

Was it wrong for me to want my mate to share everything with me?

I was the man in this mateship, and I should always be the one to share her troubles with and to be her strength.

She didn't have to carry every burden alone.
