Chapter 350\u00a0<\/p>\n
My Second Chance Mate\u00a0<\/p>\n
I just stared at her, drinking in every detail, memorizing the way she looked in this moment because I was terrified it might be the last time her this close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you going to say what you want to say,\u201d she asked, her voice pulling me out of my thoughts, \u201cor do you want to keep staring at me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I opened my mouth but nothing came out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My mind had gone completely blank and all I could think about was how beautiful she was, how much I loved her, how desperately I needed b forgive me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018L\u2026 I started, then stopped because words felt inadequate for what I needed to express.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She raised an eyebrow and I could see impatience flickering across her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m sorry, I finally managed to say. \u201cI\u2019m so sorry Athena, for everything I said last night, for the way I acted, for making you feel like you did s wrong.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I took a tentative step toward her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou saved my life,\u201d I continued. \u201cYou risked everything to heal me and instead of thanking you, instead of telling you how grateful I am, I yelled and made you cry,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another step.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was scared,\u2018 I said. \u201cI was terrified that using your powers might have hurt you or the babies and that fear made me act like a complete asshole.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was close enough now to see the tear tracks on her cheeks, to see the exhaustion in her eyes, to see how much I\u2019d hurt her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that\u2019s not an excuse,\u201d I said. \u201cNothing excuses the way I treated you, the things I said, the way I made you feel.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stopped a few feet away from her, giving her space, not wanting to crowd her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I don\u2019t want to call off the wedding,\u201d I said, making sure she could see the truth in my eyes. \u201cI want to marry you more than I\u2019ve ever wanted anythi I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy, making up for the way I\u2019ve hurt you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was watching me carefully and I couldn\u2019t read her expression, couldn\u2019t tell if my words were making any difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I love you,\u201d I said, my voice dropping to barely more than a whisper. I love you so much it scares me sometimes, I love you enough that the thought losing you makes me want to tear the world apart.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I took a breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I love our babies,\u201d I continued. \u201cI love them so much already and yes, I was scared that you might have affected them with your powers, but not because I care about them more than you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I moved one step closer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
*I was scared because I want them to be healthy and happy and normal, because I want them to have the best possible life and I\u2019m terrified of all the\u00a0<\/p>\n

ways things could go wrong.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another step.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you\u2019re right,\u201d I said. \u201cI should have asked if you were okay first, I should have made sure you weren\u2019t hurt before I started worrying about them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was close enough now to reach out and touch her if I wanted to but I kept my hands at my sides.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry I made you feel like I only care about the babies,\u201d I said. \u201cI\u2019m sorry I didn\u2019t thank you for saving me, I\u2019m sorry I was so focused on what coul have gone wrong that I didn\u2019t appreciate what went right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked into her eyes and felt my heart breaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease forgive me,\u201d I said. \u201cPlease give me another chance to be the man you deserve, the man who appreciates you and thank you and holds you instead of yelling at you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
