"I thought you didn't mind being Alpha Kane's," Sophia smirked.

"How are things going with your mate?" I chuckled, leaning forward anxiously.
"It was... hard." Sophia nodded, her eyes filled with pain. "He doesn't accept us for who we are."
I felt terribly sorry for her.
"He can change." I reassured her. "You two are made for each other." I smiled softly at my best friend.
