Killian's POV
So Isla really thinks I pulled her out of that river because it was just “the right thing to do”?
Like I was some good hearted Alpha who happened to be at the right place at the right time?
Nah. That’s bullshit.
It wasn’t me being noble. It wasn’t me trying to play savior. My wolf demanded it. Pushed me until my muscles burned and my chest ached to move faster.
And when I saw her, half dead, clinging to life there was no way in hell I could’ve just dropped her at the healer’s door and walked away.
She’s mine. My mate.
I’ve been searching, waiting, clawing through empty nights while everyone else paraded their perfect bonds and happy unions.
My wolf was restless, always growling, always unsettled, because we both knew she was out there somewhere. And now… she’s here
