21. Taking Home
Third Person's POV:
Rafael regretted speaking to Astrid in that manner since he had planned everything better, but the people surrounding him and their thoughts had fouled up what he had originally planned.
He didn't want Astrid to know who bought her yet, which is why he told Bryan to do everything but everything and take her home so she wouldn't be terrified of him, but the damage had already been done.
Even after everything he managed to keep his gaze down until they are home.
He went to a corner and began scolding himself for acting in such a rash manner; he should have been mature enough not to allow anything or anyone to influence his decision.
Anyway, the harm had already been done, and Rafael decided to reprimand himself later and think of ways to apologize to his mate, but now he had to go and make everyone involved in this regret it.
