Kael's POV
Unbothered by the chatter around me, my gaze remained fixed on her, blind and deaf to everything else.
Now that I was certain she wasn't the one who had betrayed us, the one responsible for my parents' merciless slaughter and the loss of our people, the feelings I had buried for so many years were finally clawing their way to the surface.
But I had to keep myself in control, just as I always had.
From the very first moment I saw her, I had been drawn to her, but I forced myself to deny it, to keep my mind from acknowledging her existence. She was a stranger, and the pull I felt toward her was strange, dangerous, unlike anything I had ever experienced. As the future Alpha of the pack, I could not allow my emotions or thoughts to slip in front of strangers, or even my own people.
