Nikolai's POV ( Present tense ) Knocking on her door I want to get to know her. I want her to understand that I had no intentions of betraying the trust she doesn't give easily and the last thing I want is to see the look of pure defeat on her face when all I want to do is give her the entire world if I could. "Sierra?" Her name falls from my mouth and it feels right. She somehow feels right even after knowing she's had a s**t time with people before but knowing she's been chosen to be my fated mate, knowing she's going to become stronger, emotionally and physically, is what sets my chest alight. "Sierra? Are you okay?" "Nik, it's 11 o'clock at night. She could be doing that thing people do and sleeping." "Mom, I made a shitty choice earlier" I admit to her. Nobody knows Sierra's
