Rejected, And Became A Heiress

Chapter 0150

Alaric's POV

How can this be possible? I am Cara's mate. Me. Not some traveling wander who happened into town on the night of a party.

I don't trust this man, not in the casual way he's standing or in the possessive way he's holding Cara's hand. It makes a deep unsettled feeling stir in my stomach.

Yet, as much as I want to storm over there and tear his hand away from Cara's, the knowledge and recognition of my past mistakes holds me back.

All of this is my fault. My own careless actions in the past pushed Cara away from me. How callously I broke our bond in the past! All for a woman who was never my match. Cara is bright and beautiful, a dedicated, hard-worker, with an unbridled passion in the bedroom.

She is my match in every way. I had been a young fool six years ago to not recognize that, and to not just let her get away but to force her to.

Since leaving DarkWood pack, she has loved and lost someone else, the father of her children, nowhere in the picture. Now some other man wants to swoop in and claim her love?

Even if Alaric isn't determined on making Cara his again, he would still be roused to protect her against this strange outsider.
