**GAMMA THOR'S POV**
I couldn't understand why Alpha Denzel was so agitated about the woman I'd pulled from the mud.
What shocked me even more was the moment I realized something solid had been beneath the surface when he yanked me free, when my leg had sunk deep into the sludge.
I hadn't expected it to be a human. Alive. And worse still… from that open grave we had passed earlier from all indications.
Whoever she was, the Moon Goddess must hold her in special favor, because by all reason, she shouldn't have survived. The grave, the thorns and the deep sludge of mud she had fallen into.
Even now, I can't fully believe what happened.
I'd long suspected something supernatural might tie her to him—something like a mate bond. But Alpha Denzel… he is cursed. Or rather, he is never meant to have a bond at all. Only his aunt and I know this truth, and we guard it closely. The pack must never find out or they'd turn against him.
