DERRICK
I had never been this happy ever since the death of my first mate and unborn pup. I had no idea when it started exactly or how but I realized I had fallen for Lia. Even I couldn't believe myself. I mean she was supposed to be my bait.
When I caught Alpha Blake I had the odd feeling. I had no idea why or how Lia felt it too—that Alpha Blake might not be the enemies I was looking for. But her words that day had helped to not make the decision of harming a possible innocent person.
In the midst of the confusion about my feelings for her, I discovered she was my mate. How…she'd been with me for over months and I only realized she was my mate. I doubted it at first but the realization was strong and I ended up asking her.
But to my greatest shock, Lia did not want to be my mate.
