~~Bree’s PoV~~
It takes me a moment to realize what Drew is trying to do, but as soon as I figure it out, I do my best to help. Dalton isn’t a bad person deep down and maybe this man’s human side isn’t either. Maybe he does want to save his mate like Drew is suggesting. The way his face contorts makes it clear that his other side wants to break free, and so I appeal to him, hoping that somehow, I’ll remind him of his own mate and it will be the final push he needs.
When he goes still in front of us, Drew and I exchange uncertain looks. Did it work? Did the human side win, or did the wolf manage to push him back down?
When he raises his head again, the look on his face is a cross between relief and despair. “Dalton,” he croaks, his voice still rough and raw. “It’s been a long time.”
