Chapter 16 Acceptance

• "Some things are not in our control, addy, they just happen, and we have to transform our lives according to that" I did not expect that. Ethan and me having a decent conversation. That sounds like a myth already... {but he did call me addy}. After ten years, he suddenly remembered that I was addy and not some weirdo. "No matter how much my wolf wants you, he also knows we can't take you as our luna. His attraction to you is only because of mate bond and nothing else," he said, and I looked into his eyes.
• For the first time in these last ten years, he is not mocking me, not throwing insults at me, but still, the sincerity of his words is piercing my heart... {but can I contradict him? Do I have any counterstatement to tell him that he is wrong? Is he wrong? he is right. He is never attracted to me, and no matter how much I hated that word 'weirdo,' that's the truth. I am different from anyone else. I neither have the qualities of humans nor that of werewolves. I can't say that Stella came between us, she was always there with him for the whole three years, and just because the moon goddess wanted to have a good laugh by mating me with him, I can't deny that he is nothing but serious about Stella. He is not a manwhore, who sleeps with every girl. He is only with Stella and no one else.}
• I looked at him, and he was still looking at me in pain. I wiped my tears and gave him a genuine smile; he looked as if he melted with my one look. "I never wanted you as my mate Ethan because I know that you will never love me" he is not stopping himself from expressing anything right now because I can read his expressions very clearly, and right now, my words shocked him "and still when I found out that you were my mate I was beyond happy, and this is not because of any stupid alpha thing or like that. You were my friend once, so I believe that you have known that little about me." I smiled, and a similar smile came on his face. Maybe he still remembers our childhood time together.
