(Let Me Go, My Alpha Husband) Chapter 16
Three days passed, and it was my bonding day.

Jake and I arrived at the lodge to prepare. His parents handled the guests, he
remained with me.
Looking at Jake, I asked, “Jake, why are you so well–prepared in such a short
time?”
He coughed, looking away. He’d planned everything–the dwelling, the
attire, the rings—months ago. He only showed them to me after I agreed to bond
with him. If I had said no, he would have kept them hidden forever.
I understood. Still, there was something I didn’t know. He admitted to
craving me but refused to say when it began.
He noticed my expression and knew I was overthinking. The stylist finished
my makeup, praising my skin. Jake kissed me gently, making me blush.
He smiled, looking at my blushing face. “That is

We continued to joke until it was almost time for the ceremony. Jake left the

“Ms. Rosie, are you still there?” The healer’s voice snapped me back to reality.

He saw my tears and patted my hand.“Agreed, let us not weep.”
The aisle was short. Grandpa gave my hand to Jake.“Jake, you are like a

disappoint you or Rosie!”
The vows, the rings, the joining–Jake and I became mates amidst the
