A Werewolf's Human Mate

A Night of Reckoning

Lily said hearing all this , "I just hope that a good solution comes up soon."

" Hope so," Edwin, " but you tell me your plan?"

"Huh?" Lily said, " What plan?"

Edwin said, "The plan you called me here to tell me about. Remember, to convince Aurora."

Lily's eyes widened as the memory of her plan suddenly resurfaced. "Oh, yes, yes."

She had almost forgotten what she had intended to tell Edwin. After a brief pause, she quickly regained her composure and began to speak with a new, purposeful energy, trying to make her suggestion sound as convincing as possible.

"Look," Lily started, her voice a little more animated now, "tonight, go to her with a nice bouquet of flowers. But not just any flowers! Get something special, something that will make her feel like she's the most important person in the room. Think of something elegant—maybe roses, but not just the usual red ones. Get her something unique, like white roses with a touch of lavender, something that’ll catch her eye."

"Once you have the flowers, then you need wine," Lily continued, her hands gesturing as if to emphasize each step of the plan.

Edwin leaned forward, clearly intrigued now. "Okay, and the love letter?" he asked, his voice low, almost whispering, as though he were afraid he might miss an important detail.

And so on.....

Aurora sat in her room, the phone still pressed to her ear as she absorbed everything Edwin had said. The words he shared with Lily kept echoing in her mind, and with each passing moment, a deep realization began to take shape.

When the call finally ended, she lowered the phone slowly, her hand resting in her lap as she gazed out the window, lost in thought.

A quiet sigh escaped her lips as a wave of regret washed over her.

She whispered to herself, “I’ve made so many mistakes,” her voice barely audible. The weight of her words hung heavily in the room as she thought about all the times she had failed to truly appreciate Edwin’s love.

He had done so much for her, given so much of himself, and yet she hadn’t fully understood the depth of his feelings.

Her mind raced, and she realized just how much Edwin had sacrificed for her.

“My boyfriend does so much for me, loves me so much that he is ready to leave the whole world for me.” The realization hit her hard, and for the first time, she truly saw how much he had been willing to give up just to be with her.

And yet, she had failed to recognize the immense love he was offering.

Her heart ached as she thought, “And here I am, not even understanding him properly.”

Guilt tightened its grip on her chest as she reflected on how she had taken his love for granted. But as the truth settled in, something shifted within her.

She began to understand just how lucky she was to have someone who loved her so deeply and selflessly.

Aurora stood up from where she was sitting, her eyes focused with new determination.

“Once again, after hearing Edwin’s words, it dawned on me,” she thought, her lips curling into a soft, knowing smile.

She had made mistakes, but now she was ready to make things right.

She was finally beginning to understand the value of his love, and she wasn’t going to let it slip away.

With a renewed sense of purpose, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. A confident smile played on her lips, her eyes shining with a newfound clarity. She spoke softly to herself, “Now, it’s my turn.”
