Z scoffed. “Listen to me, Dani…Malachi is okay as an Alpha. I’ll give that to him. But as a partner? I am so sorry, but he isn’t. You’ve always dreamed of walking down the aisle before having a baby. And now you have it in reverse. There’s no doubt you love him. But…I mean…what if he changes his mind? Come on, at least when you’re married----Mal couldn’t throw you like a rag when he’s done cooking his bun using your oven.”

The truth is, I badly wanted my mate’s attention and care. Again, Z was right. He’s a very good Alpha…but a mate? No, he’s not.

Because seriously, he should be here, right?

Dani's POV:

Z had to leave early. The hospital called and she had to report to duty. God, I miss working. I miss the chaos in the hospital, the rush of adrenaline. Z and I pursued the same dream—to be nurses—and together, we achieved it. We did everything together until I met Malachi.

We became mates and I was his Luna. It sounded so dreamy. It was, for some time.
