Alpha's Regret: Losing His True Mate

Elodie was about to leave when Dante walked over, coat draped over his arm.

"Where do you want to eat?"

Before she could answer, Liora’s hand shot up. "BBQ! That place we went to last time!"

Dante reached down and pinched her cheek lightly. "That place is too far. You’ve got class this afternoon. We won’t have enough time."

Liora’s face fell. "Oh... okay. Seafood then?"

Dante didn’t answer her. Instead, he looked at Elodie. "What do you want?"

Elodie shook her head. "You two go ahead. I’m not coming."

Liora’s eyes went wide. "You’re not?"

"No, sweetheart." Elodie reached down and smoothed Liora’s hair gently. "I have to get going. You and your dad have fun, okay?"

"Okay..." Liora’s voice was small, disappointed.

Elodie gave her a soft smile, then turned and walked away without looking back.

Dante stood there watching her go. He didn’t call out. Didn’t even try to stop her.
