"Get off of me! I hate you! I want you to go away!" Laura screamed in his face.
"I've always loved you, Laura, but it has been a different, ever changing love. I never meant to hurt you, but I will honor your request and leave you alone," Michael said as he walked out of the study.
His heart felt like it had been ripped out of his chest. Scott and Nicholas watched him walk out. Nicholas shook his head. His daughter definitely had some growing up to do. He went into his study and found Laura sitting on the floor, crying. He sighed and sat down beside her. He couldn't understand rejecting your mate because they upset you. He had fought the mate bond with Melissa out of fear but he never rejected her.
"Laura, do you understand what you have done?"
"Yes," Laura whispered.
"That boy isn't coming back for you. You understand that you just pushed him away for good?"
"I know what I did, Dad. He didn't want me before so I don't want him now."
