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 was just about me, I would have continued kissing her until I couldn't breathe. If it was just about me, I would seize this moment to beg for another chance to make things right. But nothing about this was simple, not after everything she'd been through. Her father was the first man she trusted, and he hurt her. Then I betrayed her. Even Kieran Carver, whom 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.
