Chapter 65: The Only One

Francesca’s POV

“So, what’s the verdict?” Alpha Ian asked after I hadn’t uttered a word after his vulnerable confession. “Am I still in love with a monster?”

I fixed him with an intense stare then, really looking at him. There was a vacant look in his eyes, it seemed as though he was bracing himself for the worst. It was kind of tragic, the entire situation was, if I was being entirely honest.

And I couldn’t bring myself to feel any sort of jealousy toward Ezekiel. Maybe, it would hit me later and I would hate him even more for being my fated mate’s first love. But now, I was more concerned with helping Alpha Ian sort through his emotions and any lingering feelings he might still harbor for the king of the rogues.

“Well?” Alpha Ian prompted. “Will you say something?”

“I don’t know,” I finally said.

“Excuse me?” Alpha Ian sat up then, and fixed me with a disbelieving stare. “What don’t you know?”

I shrugged, breaking eye contact. “I don’t know if you’re still in love with him or not.”
