Alpha Thane's POV.
She grabs my hand and I freeze in my tracks. Her hands are soft and send sparks to every nerve of my body.
I stop and slowly turn my face to her. “Don't go...” she says, “father!”
What?
Quickly, I search her face and find her eyes half-closed in sleep. My mate was sleep talking, having no idea that I was the one she was holding. I gulped.
“I'm not fine. It's been lonely without you, father... No! I don't want to go back. Let me stay here with you...”
I glanced at her hand still gripping my shirt but instead of the sparks, my heart felt heavy. Why did Azalea pair me with this girl, of all humans, King Stephan's daughter?
She will never stop missing her father, to her he was an amazing human. How can I then summon the courage to tell her all the evil he did, killin
