“No You sound honest”

I stood up and said, “You’re just being nice I know I’m a mess, and if you want to leave, I totally understand”

Logan placed his glass on the ar a nice time” He came closer and ran his hands down my upper arms “I like you, Matt”

“It’s actually Mateo”

“That’s a beautiful name” When I looked up at him, he studied me for a few moments, and then he started to lean in for a kiss My breath caught, and I stepped back quickly “I’m sorry,” he said “Was that too soon?”

“It’s ht I could do this I really wanted to You’re so nice, but I just…can’t”

“Why not?”

“Because there’s someone else”

He asked, “You’re married?” I shook my head “So, you have a boyfriend”

“No”

“You don’t mean you have a mate, do you? Because from what I’ve heard about olves, that’s pretty rare”

I sighed and admitted, “Unfortunately, that’s exactly what I mean”

Logan asked, “Does he know you’re dating?”

“I don’t date Not really It’s been years since I tried, and if he knehat I was doing right now, he’d be furious Like all alphas, he’s extremely territorial”

“So, can I expect him to hunt me down and beat me up?”

“No I actually haven’t seen him in a century,” I said “In fact, I don’t even know if he’s in California any from him ever since”
