Next Day

Roma was all packed and ready to leave, she was having her early morning breakfast when Maxwell walked in to the room. He looked disheveled with dark circles under his eyes.

She looked at him taking in his state "What to have breakfast?" she asked.

He walked over and popped himself opposite to her.

She continued eating breakfast in silence for a minute while he was just staring at the table.

"I am leaving" She declared as his eyes flickered to her.

"My work here is done" she said and added "However yours is just beginning."

He took a deep breath. They had not really had a chance of discussion post the debacle.

"I..." He started to croak, clearly somebody had a little too much to drink.

"What's done is done Maxwell" She cut him, there was no point in rehashing something you cannot take back.

"What I am trusting you to do is make this right" She gave him a piercing look while applying some butter to her toast and gently took a bite.

He looked at her for a moment and nodded.

"Good." She closed the matter there. She knew him, his guilt would weigh him down. He was his biggest critic, so no point in rehashing something he was already miserable about. But she also had faith in him to go fix it.

"You should also know" She added taking one more bite of her toast "David will be in tomorrow, so stay out of his radar and no one except Nick knows your identity. I want to keep it that way, at least until David leaves. I recommend, you wait till David leaves before you approach Nicks pack to fix things with your mate"

His mate!

He still could not digest that information, he had a mate! And worst he had claimed her without her consent. He had been replaying the past twenty four hours in his head like a broken record. How we wish he could have acted differently. How we wished he could have had more control on his stupid wolf. Who quite satisfied with his conquest has gone in to hibernation, leaving him to face the consequences.

All he could recall was the expression of fear and shock on her face, those were the only expressions he had seen on her and he was the reason for that. He could recall her face, her soft features. A petite brunet with silky long hair with big brown eyes. She was pretty and....his.

Despite all the guilt weighing him down he also had a sense of satisfaction, a sense of completion something only a mate could provide. He knew her had to make it right with her and he would, not matter what it would take.

There were a lot of things he had to do now to make things right and he was more than ready. The past couple of days have been pity parties for him. More to drown his guilt of his wolf's rash actions, but Alex had kicked him in to gear.

"Roma your car..." The door had opened and Adrian had walked in, he paused for a moment he had not expected Maxwell's presence. Maxwell was on his avoid everyone mode and everyone was giving him space as he clearly had lot to deal with. "Your car is ready Roma" Adrian finished his earlier incomplete statement.

Roma got up "All right, I am ready" She said as Adrian picked up some of the bags that were packed and kept ready and took them outside the room.

Even Maxwell slowly got up.

She came over to him and gave him a hug. She kept hugging him for a moment and gently tapped him on his back and pulled back.

"Don't make it long" She said and he nodded.
