Chapter 83

** Theo’s POV **

I’m not ashamed to say I cried after Mason finally gave in to what we both wanted. I had sobbed like a small child and he hadn’t pushed me away, he had pulled me into his arms and held me. He had uttered words of apology and at first, I thought he was scared he'd done something wrong until he had opened up and told me more than he'd ever told me before.

“I’m so sorry Theo, for every time I've rejected you, for every time I've made you feel unworthy and told you that this is wrong and unnatural. It was never you, I was the one unworthy, and I still am,” he admitted. He had never looked so vulnerable as his sad eyes spoke a thousand words.

“No, Mace, you are not,”

“I was weak, I let myself be destroyed, I let him turn me into this, this monster,” his face hardened, his walls building back up.

“Mace, you are the strongest person I know. You have never been weak, ever,” I placed my hand on his chest, right over his heart that now beats in time with my own thanks
