*You did the right thing telling him.” Frost’s voice was gentle but firm.
*I do not think so, because he can’t even look me in the eyes when kissing me, I noticed he had been distant lately and so. The memory of Kaius’s revulsion made my stomach twist.
“You made a move.” Again, not a question.
“He rejected me when I was right there, literally begging for his… his touch. I felt so embarrassed. The admission burned, but Frost had already seen me at my lowest.
“He is a jerk for doing that, Frost said.
“Maybe he just can’t do it… with his half sister.” The words felt foreign on my tongue, a nightmare I still couldn’t fully accept.
“Kaius is not a gentleman, and I know for sure he wants you; he has no rules of conduct, not in ‘that field.
“Then why, why did he turn me down?” The question that had been haunting me since Kaius’s rejection.
Frost was quiet for a moment, considering. “Have you tried a DNA test?”
“On my way here, I ran into my mother who also brought that up… but I don’t see the need of going through that only to have my hope shattered?”
“Elowen, I hope you don’t feel bad about me saying this, but your mother was with… others too, not just Alaric.”
“What are the test requirements?” I asked, suddenly desperate to know more.
“Kaius’s blood or oral fluid,” Frost explained.
“I’d prefer he doesn’t find out about the test until I get the results, and that would be impossible if I needed his blood or… saliva.”
“Then his hair would do, and I could get that for you.”
Hope, so dangerous and tempting, began to bloom. “You can?”
“Of course.”
“Thank you… so much.” The relief in my voice was palpable.
We sat in silence for a moment, the weight of everything that had happened settling between us. There was something I needed to say–something I’d been avoiding for too long.
“Frost… I think I owe you an apology, I come to you every time I need ‘something‘ and then I’m gone. I hadn’t considered your feelings and I simply moved. Also, when you were with Gloria, 1 was the reason you broke up with her, and then I went on living my life like nothing happened. I am so sorry. I know I’ve been selfish. I had been mad at Kaius for passing me to you like I was nothing but an object, never did I consider what it felt like when being placed as the second option. I am so sorry, Fros you to be happy. I do… but…”
I really want
“Elowen.” He cut me off gently. “You shouldn’t feel bad for making your decision. I broke up with Gloria because I didn’t want you to be uncomfortable, but I was never planning on, taking things forward
Who knows, maybe she would have grown on you.” I offered a weak smile.

Chapter 132
“No. She wouldn’t have grown on me. I know what I want, but I am not a fool to come between another’s happiness to achieve that. Katus is closer than a brother. Though he could act like a complete jerk, he is a good person, and I love you. I know he makes you happy, happier than I would, so do not feel guilty,”
The admission hung in the air between us, honest and raw. I looked into his ice–blue eyes and saw nothing but sincerity.
“I love you,” I said softly, the words both an admission and an apology.
‘I love you too, Elowen,”
