No Apologies Dear Mate Novels & Stories

“You really shouldn’t have pointed a gun at the head of the woman I love.” Mateo grins. “Desperate times. I’m sure you understand. But that apology is half-assed, Knox. That's not the only thing you should be sorry for. How about my life?” Knox’s lips twitch. “Right. You’ll get your apology. I’ll say it over your fucking grave.” And then Knox's gun goes off.

I look up to my family, devastated that I’ve failed them. "I'm so sorry everyone. This is all my fault. This never should have happened. The only reason I came back was to try to get you all somewhere where you would be safe from them, but I failed. I know you'll never forgive me for this, and I won't hold anything against you for hating me now. But I want you all to know that I’ll love you all no matter what happens." "Well, that's very touching." Marcus speaks sarcastically, interrupting our moment. "But it's time for us to be heading back now. Ian is expecting us to bring you back by midnight.”

“Rae… don’t be mad, okay? Once I’m back, we’ll do the bonding ceremony, just like you wanted. I promise.” “I’m not mad. Go take care of Emma,” I said with a small smile, but my eyes stayed fixed on his face, memorizing him one last time. In my heart, I whispered, If you leave now, don’t come back. I won’t be waiting. Maybe he sensed something was off, because he reached out, trying to comfort me. “Rae, you really are the most understanding mate in the world. I’m so lucky to have you.” “It’s getting late,” I said, swallowing the lump in my throat. “Go pack your things. Don’t you have a flight in the morning?”

His tone sounded almost accusing now. “I'm not hungry” I answered again without thinking, this time I sounded almost defensive. Maybe I had been a little bit angry that someone would intrude on my sanctuary while I was resting. But that was no excuse to ignore his question, especially since it was clear he could break my neck. He sighed repeatedly. “I am sorry” “What?” I asked him like I didn't hear right. This conversation sounded so unfamiliar, he had never said sorry before “I’m sorry. I shouldn't have invaded your space without asking. I just…” he trailed off unsure of how to word his apology. “I just... You seem upset these days” he told me. “I don't want you skipping meals because of w

[ Celeste ] “Celeste, I am sorry for what you have been through. No one deserves to be treated in the way you were. Your loss was something I can’t feel. So, I apologize for my earlier behaviour but I am an Alpha and as an Alpha, I have to use my brains rather than allow my emotions to cloud my judgement. I hope you understand my point.” Alpha Darius, my mate offered his polite apology. It sounded more like an explanation of his earlier behaviour towards me but I was in total amusement. Darius looked hell adamant to kill me a day ago, he was actually talking to me in a civil manner.

I replied flatly: "It's fine. I was impulsive yesterday. Take good care of her." "You drank alcohol yesterday - your chest must be hurting. I'll replace your artificial heart tomorrow. Rest well tonight, I'll come pick you up in the morning." "Okay." The next morning, Alexander didn't come. Perfect - not all goodbyes need to be face to face anyway. I left the mate bond severed papers on the table and walked out. At the hospital entrance, Alexander called, his voice apologetic: "Sorry Sarah, there's an emergency patient needing surgery. I'll have to help you replace the artificial heart tonight instead. I'll send my assistant to pick you up."

We stop to talk to his friends from the bar and the one that I grabbed looks at me and takes a deep breath. "I'm sorry." He says after a while, leaning closer for me to hear him. I press my lips together and nod. "It's okay." "No, it's not. I was led to believe that things between the both of you weren't serious and I was an asshole." "I'll agree with you there." Liam says, placing his hand on my lower back. I smile up at him and nod. "Thank you. I appreciate the apology." He nods and grabs champagne from a tray and offers it to me. I shake my head and he nods. 'I forgot, you don't drink."

She told me in a voice much calmer now. I shook my head. “No. You are not.” I agreed easily. Martina sighed. “I am sorry. I was worried earlier. Unsavory thoughts came to mind, and I panicked. Forgive me.” I told her in a low voice when I came around. Martina nodded. “Apology accepted. You should leave. I am sure you are tired and would like to rest.” I heard a hint of bitterness in Martina’s voice and could not help but secretly smile.

My voice, nonchalant and fueled by determination, resonated through the room as I stood my ground, unyielding. Caught in the turmoil of my words, Alpha Dominic offered another apology, "I'm sorry for hurting you, Freya, but I won't leave you or Matthew behind." "I'm not going back home with her," Luna Linda exclaimed, her shock evident in her voice as she confronted the unexpected revelations. "And who the heck is Matthew?" "Why are you here when you have the mate you chose?" I questioned Alpha Dominic, brushing off Linda's inquiries as insignificant. He met my gaze, a conflicted expression on his face, and finally admitted, "I regret it."
