“It’s over, I promise.” Michael patted my head.
I looked into Michael’s eyes. His beautiful dark brown eyes were filled with exhaustion. I could see the red veins in them.
Michael must have been looking for me all day. Thinking of this, the tears I had held back for a long time finally flowed. They landed on Michael’s face.
Michael stuck out his tongue and gently licked it, swallowing my tears.
Then, he looked at me with deep affection. I lowered my head and kissed his lips. I tasted the salty and bitter taste of my tears.
“I miss you,” I said softly.
“I miss you too.” Michael kept staring into my eyes. The anxious look on his face seemed to have disappeared because of my words. I saw the corner of his mouth curl up slightly.
I smiled at Michael with tears in my eyes.
During my day of wandering, I didn’t have much time to be afraid.
Most of the time, I thought about what I would do. I thought about all the ways I could escape or contact Michael, so I didn’t have the energy to think about what would happen if I failed. But now that I’d met Michael, I couldn’t help but think about all the horrible possibilities.
What would happen to me if I made a mistake?
I would be sold to a fat, wealthy businessman and treated like a disposable toy. They would treat my body like a tool for their desires, and I would probably be forced into a situation where I would lose myself.
I would never see Michael again, and I would never have the chance to be with my mate again.
These terrible possibilities hit my brain, and I realized just how dangerous the past day had been. There were so many possibilities that Michael and I would never be together again, which made me appreciate my time with Michael even more.
Michael could feel my body shaking. He was still breathing to comfort me and calm me.
But I still held him tight, as if I would die if I left him.
I stayed that way until we reached our destination.
I saw a woman in a beige windbreaker get out of the car behind us. She was tall and had short, sharp hair. She looked sharp and energetic.
Michael took my hand and walked toward her. I looked at her blankly.
I heard Michael talking to her, but my brain couldn’t process any information. I couldn’t hear what they were saying.
I realized that something was wrong with me. My body didn’t seem to listen to me. I felt like a solid container. It was the same shell, but everything inside stopped moving, including my thoughts.
I saw the woman looking at me suspiciously. I tried to concentrate on listening to their conversation.
“Your mate doesn’t seem right,” the woman said.
“I think she’s in shock.” Michael sighed. “It’s all my fault.”
The woman shook her head. “I don’t think it’s just that. Michael, your brother and I are happy you found your mate, but I also noticed that you haven’t marked this girl.”
Michael hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “Courtney, I’m not sure if she’s ready to accept me.”
Courtney was surprised. “I can see the girl’s dependence on you. What are you hesitating for? This isn’t like you.”
Michael shrugged.
I saw Courtney reach out and pat Michael on the shoulder. It made me feel uncomfortable, but I couldn’t do anything now. I didn’t know what was wrong with me.
Courtney looked at me again and said, “She doesn’t look well. You’d better take her back to her room to rest and think about what I just said.”
After Courtney left, I was still in the same state as before.
I tried to process the message I had just received. I wanted to ask Michael who Courtney was, but I tried twice and couldn’t open my mouth.
I looked helplessly at Michael, who looked down at me, then picked me up and carried me back to the room. Michael sat beside me, letting out his breath and keeping me company.
It took me a long time to regain my ability to speak. When I did, I asked Michael, “What happened to me?”
