Zara
My nineteenth birthday was more important than ever. Finding my mate was critical, and I desperately hoped that the past would not repeat itself.
I took a few calming breaths, trying to calm the torment in my head. In order to mentally bond with someone, I had to clear my mind and think about them. Any additional thoughts would draw other members of the pack into the mental bond.
Alpha Kane's face filled my mind. His husky scent matched his unruly chocolate hair. His honey eyes burned brightly in my mind. I could feel the bond forming and strengthening, as if it were tangible. All that was left was to speak.
"Alpha?" My voice was hesitant, almost timid. It was hard to bring myself to regain the confidence I had in my words.
My heart nearly jumped out of my chest as Alpha Kane's rough voice echoed in my head. The sound of his voice drove away all the nagging thoughts of Darren, who had met me again in Haze and warned me, almost making my head spin.
