Chapter 13 – Why Does He Care

• Kayla POV
• He leaves me to rest and to sort through all the thoughts running through my mind. I still hurt from everything Ranon did to me. I do not want to talk about that, not now or ever. I want to bury the things Ranon did to me and let all the feelings and memories rot somewhere. I cannot face any of that now.
• He is kind to me, even though he does not have to be kind or helpful or even be here. He could have handed everything over to me and left, but he stays to help me and make sure I could handle it. Maybe he is worried about me taking over his family's land. No, that is not it. Soran told me once about Alpha Maximus and how he left as a child. He said he never fit in with the family. It must be hard for him to be here.
