Anne smiled gently. "I'm not saying you should forget it or even that you shouldn't be upset. But... maybe you should give him a chance. Talk to him. Try to understand why he did what he did. You and Chris... you're mates, Em. That's not something to take lightly."
Emily bit her lip, her brow furrowing as she thought about it. "I don't even know what to think about this whole'mate' thing. It's so... overwhelming. One minute, I'm just a normal human, and the next, I'm supposedly destined to be with a werewolf for the rest of my life."
Anne smiled sympathetically. "I know it's a lot to process. But I have warned Damien that you will not be forced to become Chris's mate and go through the transformation if you don't want."
Emily nodded and butted her lips.
Anne looked at her and asked, "Do you like Chris ?"
Emily looked up at her and nodded.
"I tried to ignore these feelings, but they just keep getting stronger. I don't know what to do."
