Victor POV
The more we went farther away from the palace, the more the pain in my chest grew stronger. I never knew that it could be this painful to be away from my mate. She didn't reject me, however I felt like she did. I was left heartbroken, like a piece of my soul was missing. My wolf was pacing and growling, blaming me for the whole situation. When I reminded him that he was the one losing control most of the time, impatient for mating, that he made me approach her too aggressively, he quieted down and retreated.
After that it was silence, for the first time in a long time I was alone with my thoughts. I knew I was to blame as much as my wolf, I was impatient too. I should have tamed him better, or at least clean up his mess properly, mend things between us instead of avoiding her
