This is part TWO of the same book under the same title.
Tora never asked to be a Lunos and he certainly didn't ask for three mates.

As the weakest member of his house, Tora has always been a lone wolf. He's never been the smartest, the bravest...

"Do you love me too?"
Tora asked me as if it was possible he didn't already know the truth beyond my nonexistent words. I tightened my grip around his small waist as he pouted in my lap, his hazel eyes begging for some kind of confirmation while his copper hair shimmered red in the perfect sunset.
Do I love you?
Oh Tora, the question was never whether or not I love you. How could I not when you're my feisty savior sent from the gods to pull me from the bleak colorless world I once thrived in. Hiding in silence and accepting that fate would never grant someone like you to follow me.
I've loved you before you knew who I was and you've broken my heart without knowing I was the one you were meant to be with and Matteo was a fool pretending to be me. Knowing in my silence, I would never be able to persuade you to my side.
I watched you suffer throughout your tumultuous relationship, I watched you seal every crack with your darkened attitude as he took your innocence and put it on display for the world to tear apart.
I protected you from the darkest nights when I heard news of anyone who wanted to break down your door and take you from your peaceful slumber, I stood outside your door. I was the silent knight to stand watch and growl at anyone who wanted access. Forcing them to change directions when they saw where I stood. You gave me a dedicated purpose that filled the world with vibrant colors and showed me how horrifying some character's true personalities could be.
You never spent more than a seconds glance on me and I know it's because you were terrified. You heard of what an alpha was, the people I've killed, the blood I've seen. Matteo scared you with his twisted words and false teachings about what love was.
I've never hated my mutism more than the second I met you and knew I would never be able to truly protect you from all the horrors this world has in store for you.
"Galen,"
The way Tora whisper's my name through his partially parted lips sets my heart on fire. The closer he gets, the further I feel myself falling. Yearning to kiss him so deeply, but my own fears hold me back.
And yet he goes on as if my fears are simply invalid figments of my imagination and in the second his soft lips press to mine, the world goes dark as I close my eyes and learn his true origins.
