“Don’t know what?”
“That the woman you’ve been going crazy waiting to see is our true mate.”
He blinks at me, his frowning expression slowly reversing into a look of pure shock.
“What …” he starts, clearing his throat. “What did you just say?”
“You really didn’t feel it?” I ask, watching his face carefully.
“She’s our true mate? But … I didn’t … It can’t be …Oh my God.That’s exactly what it is!”
He sounds anguished by the time he realizes the truth.
His hands grip the steering wheel, knuckles turning white as he stares out at the building in front of us. He slumps back in his seat a few seconds later, all the rage bleeding out of him as he accepts what I just told him.
He looks at me, and all I see is bewilderment in his eyes.
“How is this possible?”
“Life is full of surprises?” I offer, not quite sure what he’s looking for.
It doesn’t matter, anyway. There’s nothing more I can tell him.
He found out the woman he’s been obsessing over is supposed to be a part of our pack.
He needs to process this life altering information, and I need to give him time to do that.
Chapter Thirty-Six
Falcon
She’s our true mate?
The second those words come out of Shayne’s mouth, I understand why I’ve been so obsessed. It makes too much damn sense.
I don’t know why I didn’t see it sooner.
She’s supposed to be with us. That’s why I’ve been stressing the fuck out. She might be safe where she is, but it’s not where she should be. Instinctively, I know that, and I hate it.
Too bad there’s nothing I can do about it.
At least not right at this moment.
Damn it.
I turn back to Shayne. He’s watching me with hope in his eyes. He looks ready to jump back out of the car. He knew the moment he saw her that she was meant for us. He felt it, and he didn’t show any hint of uncertainty.
He didn’t see how she looked before.
He doesn’t know what she went through.
Neither of us really do.
“We can’t storm back inside and tell her she’s coming home with us. You know that, right?”
He sighs. “I know, but whatcanwe do? She’s supposed to be with us.”
“Lana told me I could ask to visit again, and that she would let me in if it was what Robin wanted.” I hesitate, and Shayne frowns at me.
