Nathaniel POV
Rejecting me would be painful and even though I thought about it myself I don’t want her to. I can’t stand the thought.
She hasn’t said anything. She just looks at me, with new questions in her silver eyes. I can tell that she’s connecting the dots. She’ll figure it out in a second. She’ll know that she has a choice.
Having a mate might mean nothing to her, but to me, it has become something precious. Something important.
Not because it makes me an Alpha. I couldn’t care less about that, but the promise of having someone by my side, someone equal, someone special, filled a void inside my chest I didn’t know existed.
I always blamed growing up without a mother that I’ve always been somewhat of an introvert. Keeping to myself. Serving a purpose. Following my Alpha.
