Alpha's Regret: Losing His True Mate

Elodie’s Pov~

Cara looked ready to march over there and give both of them a piece of her mind. Her whole body was tense, entirely coiled like a spring.

But I reached out and grabbed her arm, stopping her.

She turned to me, her eyes blazing. "Elodie—"

I shook my head calmly. "It’s okay."

"It’s not okay—"

"Cara." I kept my voice calm, even though something bitter was crawling up my throat. "It doesn’t matter."

Maybe I didn’t have much of a personality. Maybe I was too gentle, too quiet, too boring.

But I knew who I was.

And whether or not Rex Hardin or anyone else, found me interesting didn’t change that.

I didn’t need their approval.

I didn’t want it.
