The more I tried to distance myself, the more he insisted on pulling me closer to him.
"You need to tell me who did this."
I looked at him, unsure if I should reveal the truth or not. After much internal struggle, I finally managed to break free from his grasp.
"I don't think it's wise for me to say anything. I really need to leave."
Just as I was about to walk away, he grabbed my hands and stopped me.
"I really want to get to know you. Can't you give me a chance?"
I stared at him, trying to determine if it was even worth engaging in conversation with him.
"Fine, you know I'm the masked girl. What do you want?"
As he continued to move closer, I felt an overwhelming urge to run away and hide.
"You're beautiful, and I've been thinking... will you be my mate?"
I was shocked by his words and pushed him away.
