BRIAN’S POV
When I look at her, something strange and magical takes over completely. And I don't understand it. It's like I'm seeing her for the first time.
It's like before when I saw her as just a prisoner, I was able to ignore this connection. But something has changed. Now I can't.
Maybe that something was there all along. Because when I saw those wolves attacking her, I knew I had to do something. It felt like I was fighting for my own life. It felt like it was the direst situation I've ever been in.
And now, I know why. This lonely, wandering, woman is my mate.
No, it can't be. There's no way this person is my mate. There has to be some mistake. I don't know why I feel the way I do, but it has to be a mistake.
Still, I can't look away as we stare at each other. She is just so
