"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Knox pops in my head, annoying me the fuck out.

"Will you just shut the fuck up?" I growl, but it does nothing to avert his attention from Sadie.

I've been here for the last forty or so minutes. My eyes barely moved from her face. It's like, no matter what I do, I just can't pull my focus from her.

"Mate bonds between alphas and their Lunas are usually stronger than those of average wolves," Knox informs me.

"And you didn't think to tell me this before?"

"It never came up," he answers lazily. "Though I should have figured it out with Lola when the bond didn't feel that strong. I was so smitten by her wolf that I failed to notice that major detail."

I clench my hands against the wave of emotions. I did this to her. I did this to my mate. I may not have known the truth when I scarred her face, but now
