“He’s the man that murdered my mother. | found him about six months ago.” I look down. I'm not proud, telling

“I've been trying to get him to tellwhy he killed my mother, but he keeps tellinghe didn’t do it.”
“How do you know he did it?”

She doesn’t look up, but | hear the tears in her voice. “You're my mate.”
“Yes. | knew the minute | saw you. Alessia hasn't been strong enough until today to feel the mate bond.”
“l don’t want to be mated to a murderer.” She whispers and it breaks my heart. | don’t know how | can promise
not to ever kill again, especially when that blood- sucker who hurt her is still out there.
“I'm an Alpha, an Alpha werewolf. We are a violent species. | can’t say that | have never killed or that | would
never kill again. | would kill to keep this pack safe. | would kill those who hurt the ones | love. And | want to kill

I know I have tears in my eyes. | don’t cry. It’s another sign of weakness in a pack. | haven't cried since my
