The forest was very silent as Sophie walked along the narrow trail near the cabin.
She had really needed to clear her head after everything Marcus had actually revealed about her bloodline. She was really thinking about her newfound identity.
The break of a branch behind her made her stop immediately.
"Darius?" she called out, though she already knew it was not him.
A figure stepped out of the shadows, and Sophie's breath was really caught. It was not Darius, it was Rowan.
He looked every bit the cunning Alpha she had imagined, tall, broad shoulder with some sharp features and searching green eyes that was shining with confidence that was not settling.
He held up his hands to show his mock surrender, a small smile was on his lips.
"Easy, Sophie, I'm not here to hurt you." Rowan said, his voice was very smooth.
Her instincts were screaming at her to run, but she really forced herself to stand her ground.
