My heart has dropped through the floor as I watch the scene in front of me. My mate is here. She is here in front of me finally, after so long searching for her! But it appears she has a family! No, no, this cannot be happening! She cannot have moved on so quickly!
Part of me is tempted to walk away, the pain in my chest too much. But I need to know. I walk quickly to her. As I do, she looks up, her eyes meet mine. Those beautiful eyes I had fallen for all that time ago, the eyes of my beautiful mate I had been longing for. And time seems to freeze. But I see sheer terror in those beautiful brown eyes as they make contact with mine.
Why is she scared of me? She should not be scared of me! My senses are filled with her scent, a mixture of winter berries and honey. I want to go to her
