Ace POV
Olivia sounds almost angry when I say I understood why she didn't want me. Shouldn't she be happy? I'm not going to make it awkward for everyone's sake. Becca and I still need to have a real conversation, but I meant what I said. I love her and, despite my anger, that won't change. I don't need Olivia to spare my feelings. I'm a grown man and I have a daughter that needs me. I don't have the luxury of feeling sorry for myself because this beautiful woman doesn't want me.
Besides, she deserves to have a wolf mate. I know Olivia is nothing like Candace, but it only makes sense that she would want a strong mate to have pups with. Even the thought of that makes it hard to breathe. I look back at the woman that is meant to be mine. I swear its irritation and anger flashing in her eye
