Soren’s words rang in my head. I just stared at him, too stunned to speak or move. He still held my arms.

*Mila*

Soren’s words rang in my head. I just stared at him, too stunned to speak or move. He still held my arms.

Every time I confronted Soren about helping me, he was always reluctant, even distant. I always saw him as this cold, cautious, loner that didn’t want to get involved in anything, least of all my trouble.

He tried everything he could to stay out of pack affairs and be left alone.

Right from the start, he’d told me he didn’t want his own pack. Soren might have said differently recently, but asking if I was ready to settle down in a pack with him was much different than actually saying he wanted a pack!

Soren wasn’t like anyone I’d met before. It was like he didn’t want to be part of the world. He just wanted to watch and observe, but not get involved.

He’d been helping me, but it wasn’t because he wanted to. It was like he happened to see a child fall on the ground and went over to help them up. I was just a wounded child to him and he was picking me up off the ground.

When he encountered me, he just happened to be in the right mood and what he’d done for me already was barely an effort for him.

But now… spreading rumors of a “universal” artifact that put him right in the middle of everything… That was completely different. He wasn’t sitting on the sidelines anymore, he was putting himself right in the line of fire, in the center of the chaos.

I knew that every pack, Alpha, and bounty hunter would be after him now. He would be a magnet for trouble and danger.

I couldn’t believe he’d chosen to do that! Sure, it helped give us time to find the artifact, but putting himself in danger… especially after what Helen said to me!

The ends didn’t justify the means in this case.

I glared at him and pulled away. There was no rational argument he could make that would make me agree with his decision.

Shaking my head, I turned away from him, taking a deep breath to calm myself.

It wasn’t my place to get mad at Soren. If he wanted to put himself in danger, who was I to argue?

Wasn’t I just another woman to him? I was less than that, a f**k buddy…

Just because he acted polite to me didn’t mean I meant anything to him at all. We weren’t in a relationship, just a business arrangement. He’d made that clear. I had no right to interfere with his plans.

He could put himself in whatever trouble he wanted.

The warning Helen had given me was about my mate, wasn’t it? And Soren wasn’t my mate…

I kept my back to Soren. Even if I wasn’t going to interfere with his plan, I could still let him know that I wasn’t pleased with what he’d done.

When the moon rose, Soren put his hand on my shoulder.

I glared at him.
