Of all the nightmares that could repeat themselves. Why this one?

I didn’t ask for much in this life. Was it reaching of me to ask for a mate who wanted me?

“I do not think I could ever accept another…”

His words in his utterly addictive voice repeated and rang louder with each repetition.

And somehow, this felt worse. He wasn’t unwilling to accept a second chance mate out of pride or out of being an asshole. He was unwilling because of devotion. How could I fault him for something so pure?

‘How do you know he truly meant it?’ Lobelia, weirdly, acted optimistic. ‘You didn’t give him a chance to feel a mate bond again.’

Was my wolf deluded? Was this her way of coping? To create a self-made fantasy?

The thin trees I ran through soon gave way to a craggy clearing. I collapsed against a rock, unable to keep myself from shattering apart. I had tried to be strong. I tried to put on a mask that all was well and laugh at jokes. I tried to go about my day, pretending I wasn’t slowly dying inside. There was nothing in me left to ‘try’ anymore.

When Evie found me, I couldn’t keep it in any longer, my dam finally bursting.

He was her father! My second chance mate was my best friend’s father, a man who would be more than twice my age!

“…What was the moon goddess thinking?!” I screamed to the sky.

The jolt from Evie’s movements interrupted my cursing out the blameless clouds above.

A large hand, gently holding out a long swath of fabric. “Maybe she thinks two broken souls need each other most.”

My wrap that I had dropped… he brought it back to me?

My hands had remained tightly clutched to my chest, biting into my light sweater. My fingers ached when I began to unfurl them, hesitant to reach out to him. Gripping the fabric, our fingertips brushed and the sensation of the mate bond thrummed through my body.

‘He feels like home,’ both Lobelia and I said in unison.

I heard an echo bounce around and I felt my face heat that I had gasped so loudly.

‘As much as I love our Evie.. can you tell her to go?’ My wolf cut in. ‘She’s standing around like an awkward lemon not sure what to do with herself. Give her an out.’

Oh, that was a point.

‘It’s ok… I’ll try and talk,’ I nodded to her, trying to smile through the last of my tears.

She bobbed her head and quickly retreated faster than I had ever seen her move before, leaving me alone… with her father. Was I entirely sure this was any better?

Heavens above, he was even more handsome close-up. With him knelt in front of me, I could take in his every feature. The scar on the left of his jaw didn’t detract from his looks at all. It added to his rugged appeal that I was increasingly attracted to. And his scent? I wanted to bottle and consume it for the rest of my life. It was perfect… just like him.
