BLAKE
I still couldn't believe what I was hearing, the fact that he was making her go through all this, or the fact that she was accepting it when I could probably help without making her feel humiliated.
(Don't feel bad, she isn't our mate, we just got interested in her.) I could feel the disappointment in the tone of my wolf.
It felt like my heart was shattering into a million pieces with every step she took.
I had lost my mate at a young age, and the first time I laid eyes on Emma, I thought she was the one.
I had planned to make her life better, to pull her out of the lowest strength rank, and make her one of the most respected ladies in our community.
But everything changed the moment she stepped foot into Ian's office. I discovered that she was his mate, not just his mate, but someone who had a history with Ian.
I had been trying to maintain my distance, not getting too close to her, but she kept drawing me in.
