Andrew's POV l looked into Lyndon's eyes and what I saw there, caused my heart to cease beating for a second. He had disputed my words about what he thought we had being bizarre and I felt like a heel when I saw the pain in his eyes. But, I had to discourage him. He had to stop this nonsense about is being mates. But... his response, 'I wouldn't say that! I know you are great in everything you do!' when in desperation, I had said, I was not good for anything or anyone, had really boosted my confidence. I felt something stir in me then but I didn't want to accept the love he was offering. I felt so lost and unwanted. The woman I loved and wanted seemed not to be interested in me, at least not in the way I would have loved and the man I wasn't interested in seemed to love me mindlessly.
