Chapter 128 Landon

• I went from feeling good about everything to my whole body tensing in a matter of seconds the moment my wolf picked up on the scent of our mate. The scent that was so beautiful. Alluring… tempting… yet a scent that was able to make my heart feel like it wanted to shatter into a thousand pieces. I knew without raising my eyes that Cleo had to be on her way up here to see her father.
• It would not be me she had come to see. There would be no reason. But, I raised my eyes all the same, unable to resist the temptation, and Dex became excited, knowing she was close. My heart rate increased instantly, and my grandfather gave me a knowing smile. ‘Have you decided yet?’ he questioned, and I simply shrugged.
• ‘Lan.’ He sighed. ‘What do you think that man next to you would say if he knew? The faith he holds in you. It took all the strength within me to hold myself back from telling him the additional connection our families and packs hold when he was talking. A connection stronger than any other, with the bond that you and his daughter share. But, I knew you would never forgive me. I knew things were hard enough for you, and even harder for Cleo right now, so I held my tongue. But this needs to be addressed, son, and soon. It will hurt Knox and Delilah to know that you hid this from them.’
