As Audrey heard him call her Catherine, it sounded exactly like Mikhail was talking to her.
She looked into his eyes and her heart melted, he looked so vulnerable, like he was regretting all the bad things he'd done to her at that moment, and he was scared she would push him away without forgiving him.
He looked lonely and scared.
Audrey understood at that moment that it was only them who could make themselves happy, after all, they were destined for each other a long time ago, why should they waste their time fighting when they could live together happily?
"I'm sorry for making you worried, I just needed to clear my head," She said quietly.
"It's okay," Alpha Lake engulfed her in his arms, hugging her lovingly like she was the most precious, fragile thing in his life.
Audrey rested her head on Alpha Lake's chest. She needed this. After what she's been through since today, this was exactly the kind of treatment she needed from him.
