~LUCAS~ I have never hated myself more than I do right now. I could feel Freya's pain despite her not being my mate. The broken expression on her face and the way her body shook uncontrollably as she expressed her true feelings for me were more than enough to let me know how much my actions had hurt her. I couldn't believe how much of a f*****g asshole I was being to this woman. She did not deserve this; she has been my perfect wife. "Please accept my apology, Freya," I beg. "I should have told you. I thought I was doing the right thing by staying quiet. Please do not think that I do not care about you." She had no idea just how much I f*****g cared, just how much my feelings for her confused me since she was not my mate. I still didn't understand how it was possible to have feelings
