Chapter 49 : Ethan’s Past

It was dark by the time I awoke to find myself on the floor. The photos of my unborn child were still lying in my lap.

I didn’t remember falling asleep, but the exhaustion of everything I had been through made me realize that I definitely needed more rest.

I pulled myself up from the floor, my joints protesting the movement after being in that awkward position for hours.

After a stretch, I opened the bedroom door and moved to the living room, which was dim, lit only by a small fire. I realized Mary had come in to bring me dinner at some point without me hearing her.

“Rosalie…”

I jumped in surprise, a small scream escaping me as I turned to find Talon sitting on the sofa.

“Talon-” I said in shock. I looked around, expecting to see Ethan, but there was no sign of him. “What are you doing here?”

Slowly, he rose to his feet, switching on a small lamp that sat on the end table near him. “Mary came to me earlier because you hadn’t answered her, and she was worried. I decided to wait for you to wake up.”

“Oh, thank you. I’m ok. Don’t worry.”

This was the first time in a while that Talon and I had talked alone. We couldn’t get along like before anymore, although only I knew why.

It was then that I noticed the smell of alcohol. Frowning, I asked, “Have you been drinking?”

“Just a few sips. I still have to finish up my work later tonight.”

He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, “I’m sorry.”

That was why he came. He was here apologize to me.

I just didn’t expect that the fearless Beta of the Drogomor pack needed the push from alcohol to make his apology.

I took a seat and sighed. “Why, Talon? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Then I chuckled, “You don’t need to answer. Of course you couldn’t. You’re his Beta.”

Talon sighed as well, and shook his head. A look of remorse filled his eyes. “I’d been trying to get him to change his mind, Rosalie.”

I said nothing, waiting patiently for him to finish.

He spoke faster than usual. “I’d been trying to get him to accept how he feels about you. I had hoped that, with time, he would see that, and you wouldn’t have had to know about the plan at all.”

“Talon, I’m nothing special to him, as you can see,” I said bitterly. “Besides, I’m already over it now.”

Talon looked defeated. “I’m sorry, Rosalie, but I am his Beta. I would be breaking my oath to Ethan if I were to tell
