Cara’s POV
I’m frozen for a long moment, not fully understanding what Noel is saying or why.
He thinks I’m his mate? How can that be? I’ve already found and lost Alaric. Unless Alaric sees himself as my second chance mate?
That has to be it, but yet… with my own wolf still lost to me, I couldn’t truly feel any bond like I used to with Alaric.
Noel might be telling the truth, or he might be lying. I have no true way of confirming on my end without Lucy.
“Now, uh, wait a minute, Noel,”
Landon says and placing his hand on Noel’s shoulder, gently eases Noel back.
Noel seems reluctant to step too far away from me, however, and keeps his hands on my waist possessively.
I’m uncomfortable by the touch. He might think he’s my mate, but he’s still a stranger to me. I take a step backwar
