Chapter 446. Did They Catch the Culprit?

Apphia’s POV

Gavin is standing before me, looking sheepish. I stand, too, and wait for him to speak even though I know exactly what he wants to say.

“Apphia,” he breathes. We are silent, and he speaks,” I’m sorry for how badly I treated you. You didn’t deserve any of it,”

I didn’t deserve it. “You are very beautiful, Apphia. So beautiful inside and out. I wish I could turn back time. I wish I accepted the bond when it clicked into place, but I didn’t. I’ll regret that for the rest of my life and be sorry for it,” tears mist his eyes. He smiles slightly and wipes a stray tear from his eye. “Apphia, I wish you the best. You deserve everything you have now and more. I wish you all the happiness in the world. That’s all I wanted to say,”

I only manage a nod, unable to utter another word, “Thank you for hearing me out, Luna Queen Apphia,”

He’s looking at me as if committing me to memory. His eyes flash, and his lycan comes forth, but only momentarily.
