Nathan's POV
I pulled back to look at Kyra's face, my heart pounding. I made myself move away from her, even though everything in me screamed to stay close.
If it had just been about me, I would have kept kissing her until I couldn't breathe. If it had only been about me, I would have seized this moment to beg for another chance to make things right.

Even Kieran Carver, the man she fell for, lied and wounded her deeply.
Kyra's scent, that sweet orange blossom smell, was messing with my head, making Alaric howl inside me. My wolf was desperate to get back to his mate and protect the pup. But I couldn't let my wolf instincts control me.
