Chapter 39 - It's for her own good

Brayden's POV

Steve is right. I will not need this if I had marked her. This is the only alternative at the moment.

"No. It's complicated. I want her to feel the same way I feel about her before marking her," I said, trying to calm him.

"Then you shouldn't let her go. Sawyer seems like a good guy in front of her but he isn't what he claims to be," he said, the worry in his voice creating a wedge of panic in mine.

I take a deep breath. "I know. But it will only hurt her more if I try to protect her from him."

"Brayden, I am still investigating more about him and I discovered he killed a human some time ago. I am scared for her." Now I understand why he hasn't told her who he is. This might be the reason but what has he killing a human got to do with Cora? Unless...No. I won't jump to any conclusion.

I try to hide the worry eating me right now. "Do you know who it is and why?"

"I am still investigating on that," he said.
