Chapter 65 

His presence made my heart race, and my fingers fumbled over the keys, playing wrong 

notes. 

But he didn’t seem to care. He wasn’t watching the piano anymore–he was watching me. 

hroughout the evening, beautiful women approached him, but he turned them all away 

without hesitation. 

People at school always whispered about him, saying he rejected every girl who tried to get 

close. 

They said he was waiting for his mate. 

That thought sent a shiver down my spine. 

His gaze stayed on me, and it wasn’t just casual–there was something intense about it, something that made my skin warm under his stare. 

My heart pounded in my chest, but I forced myself to keep playing, pretending I wasn’t 

affected. 

When my song finally ended, I took a deep breath and, feeling braver than usual, decided to walk up to him. 

My legs felt shaky as I approached, but I couldn’t stop myself. 

I didn’t know what I expected, maybe for him to brush me off, but when I got close, he smiled at me–softly, not like I’d imagined. 

“Hi,” I said quietly, my voice barely steady. 

He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he reached out his hand, and I flinched, stepping 

back a little. 

That’s when I felt it–the strap of my dress had come loose. 

Panic shot through me, but before I could react, Leo gently fixed it, his fingers brushing my

skin as he tied it back in place, 

“You play very well,” he said in a calm voice, and somehow, those simple words eased the embarrassment that had been creeping in. 

I felt my cheeks warm as I realized how close we were. 

His compliment was unexpected, and I couldn’t think of a proper response. 

fen he spoke again, his voice steady as he asked, “Are you a student around here?” 

I blinked. He didn’t remember meeting me before. 

It stung a little, knowing he’d forgotten. 

I stepped back, trying not to let the disappointment show. 

“You’re different from what people say about you,” I said, feeling a little braver now. 

“I didn’t think you could be this kind to anyone.” 

Leo’s eyes darkened a bit, but he still smiled. 

He pulled his hand back and finished his drink. 

“But you’re different, aren’t you?” he replied. 

My heart skipped a beat. 

Different? 

What did he mean? 

Did he know I was his mate? 

Was that what he was trying to say? 

My thoughts spun in all directions, and before I could say anything, Leo stepped closer, closing the space between us.

The air felt heavy with tension, and I could feel the heat radiating from him. 

His breath brushed against my skin, and for a moment, I felt like I might melt under his 

gaze. 

“Lakeview apartment,” he said, naming a place I didn’t know. 

“I’ll see you there tonight, if you like.” 

Without another word, he grabbed his jacket and walked out, leaving me standing there, unsure of what had just happened. 

My head was spinning. 

He spoke to me like I mattered, but then he left so easily. 

Did he know who I was to him, or was I just another girl? 

After work, curiosity got the better of me, and I found myself heading to the address he 

gave. 

When I opened the door, I saw Leo sitting on the couch, his shirt off, his hair still damp 

from a shower. 

He looked up as soon as I entered. 

Neither of us said anything, but we didn’t need to. 

In a few steps, we were in each other’s arms, kissing, his hands gripping my waist as he lifted me easily. 

I wrapped my legs around him, and he carried me to the bedroom. 

That night, Leo was surprisingly gentle. 

His touch was soft, but there was still intensity behind it.

We had a long intimate sex. 

There was pain, but it quickly turned into something else–something that pulled us both

under. 

As my orgasm approached, I couldn’t stop myself from reaching up and touching his cheek, my voice shaking as I asked the question that had been burning in me all night. 

“Did you know we’re… mates?” 

I stared intently at Leo’s face, his eyes, waiting for him to give me an answer. 

didn’t say a word. Instead, he leaned in and kissed me, his lips soft but firm against 

mine. 

There was no hesitation, no need for words. 

In that moment, everything else faded away. 

It was just us. 

The Leo I kissed that night was nothing like the man I would marry years later. 

That night, he was warm, gentle, even a little vulnerable. 

But the Leo I ended up with–he was cold, distant, and hard to reach. 

For three long years of our marriage, I kept holding on to the memory of that night, believing that somewhere deep inside him, the warmth still existed. 

I thought that maybe, just maybe, I could bring it back out if I waited long enough. 

It’s just that now, I don’t have that childish fantasy anymore.
