Norah’s POV I’ve been stupid the whole time. How could I miss the fact that the lady was Nicklaus’s mate? Why did I fail to see her? Why does she have a distinct human scent? My life is a puzzle, and something is illogical. I recall approaching her the day she returned, rushing to her car like a raving lunatic, but I have no recollection of what transpired. I awakened in my room with smashed ribs after begging her to respond to me during our conversation. Only a wolf could have crushed my ribs in that way. What happened to me on that particular day? I’d have to ascertain what transpired. I will not let that witch have Nicklaus. I’ve sacrificed so much because I wanted to be in this pack. Also to be the Luna. I haven’t gone this far to be defeated, and if Nicklaus cannot be mine, I will
