Chapter 132 A Question I Can't Answer

• Callista POV~~
• The question hit me like a ton of bricks. I wasn’t expecting him to ask me such a question. Wait, what was he thinking? I shouldn’t have encouraged him to ask. I was thinking he would ask how I became the alpha, since that’s what everyone asks.
• I scoffed and turned to him. I gulped down, with a lump that felt like the size of a pea in my throat. Cassius’ eyes, filled with a desperate hope that twisted my gut, awaited my answer. He is asking for my love. How could I love the man who condemned me on fabricated charges and ordered my execution without an ounce of sympathy? Has he summoned that courage because I have healed him? I had forgiven him, but love? Again?
