Chapter 18

Allessandra's POV

It's been over a month since the incident where Holly's mate rejected her. I haven't summoned the courage to ask her who the scumbag was and she never opened up about what happened.

I could tell that she was devastated and I didn't want to be the cause for brining up any bad memories. I could tell that she was coming around since she was more jovial but there was something off about her mood.

As for my relationship with Malcolm, it was a complicated one. I didn't know what we were and I wasn't about to ask him that question.

I did enjoy spending my time with him but what we did became a routine. We would visit the tree house, eat, talk and snuggle with each other. I found that romantic but I still didn't know anything about him.
