The Guardian Warrior

"I'm your mate, Alvara. Your soul belongs to me. Not his."
"I don't care. He was there for me when you weren't Duncan. He loved me for who I was. Now, since I shifted and became the packs Warrior, you want me?"
I could feel lust sparking around us. The forest animals asking us to leave because it was to much. His breathe sending warm sensations down my body as he spoke from behind me.
"I knew we belonged together since that day in the hallway. You have yet shift then so you didn't feel it, but I did. My heart was calling for you. The night I found you with Chelsea...I was going to go back for you. I was going to tell you how much I needed you. You have to believe me, Alvara."
His hands found my waist pulling me back against his chest. I could feel that invisible string connecting our hearts together, making it beat as one. And all I wanted to do was rip it away.
"No, Duncan. I can't. I love Tyler. Even if he isn't my soul mate, my heart will always belong to him."
