MIRANDA’S POVI woke up the next day feeling a little refreshed, even after I had spent half the night thinking about the suggestion that Ms. Caroline had made the previous night. I wondered if I was at all capable of befriending William and if I would be capable of trusting him after what happened with Tomas. But that was just it, I had to remember that William wasn’t Tomas, and thankfully so.But I had to be careful with the kind of ideas that I entertained especially with Tomas thinking that he had some kind of claim over me after the way he treated me. The last thing I needed and the last thing that this little community of humans needed was two wolves turning their town into a battleground and fighting over me. Not to mention they would expose me and how I have deceived Ms. Caroline by making her think I was one of them.Despite the negative thoughts that I had concerning giving William a chance for friendship and seeing where that friendship could lead us, I decided to give him

TOMAS’S POVI never thought the thought of Miranda moving on and forgetting about me would hurt me so much, in fact, I never thought a day would come when she would choose to forget about me and all the things I put her through. But seeing her with William broke my heart and made me want to kill him.What made it worse was the fact that he wasn’t just any wolf, he was my brother and he knew that he was messing with my mate. I followed Miranda in the morning when she was making her way to the bakery. William saw me and got in my way, how could someone be so energetic in keeping two people that were meant to be apart?I had noticed the way he was looking at her and the way he was trying to flirt with her, he was no longer treating this like a task that father had given him, I started feeling like William genuinely liked Miranda and wanted to be with her. That idiot, he was only going to hurt her when he found his true mate and I couldn’t and wouldn’t let that happen. I wanted to speak t

MIRANDA’S POVI found myself opening up to William and the fact that he was so easy to talk to and such a great listener made it even easier to talk to him. William was the opposite of Tomas, in fact, he was everything that my mother told me a mate was supposed to be and yet he wasn't my mate. I found myself wishing Tomas had broken the mate bond that we shared so that I could be with William.No matter how much I liked William being with him and being fully committed to him was close to impossible because I was still mated to Tomas and it seemed to me that Tomas wanted me back at all costs.“Thank you so much for tonight,” I said as William drove me home“Don’t thank me, it wasn’t a favor to you, I did it for myself” he said“Why are you so nice to me?” I asked him because I couldn’t understand how and why he would be so nice to someone that he had never met.“I like you a lot Miranda, in fact, I like you more than I thought I would like you,” he said“What do you mean?” I asked him

MIRANDA’S POV “I am sorry for doing that...I was out of line” he said as he abruptly let go of me and I secretly wished he hadn’t. I didn’t respond I was so embarrassed that I had returned his kiss with an equal amount of passion. “I was just so worried about you when I didn’t see you today,” I said my eyes still glued to the ground “I am glad to see that I have been missed,” he said with a smile and I blushed while keeping my eyes on the ground “I was just worried because you left my place so late yesterday so I thought maybe something happened to you when you were driving back to your place,” I said “I just wanted to make sure that you were safe,” he said and I found that to be very sweet and caring of him “I am safe as long as you are here," I said looking up at him when our eyes met I was horrified to see the purple bruise on his eye that I hadn’t noticed before because I had been too shy to look him in the eye after the unexpected kiss. “What happened to you?” I asked him a

Miranda’s POV“What did you just say?” I asked him“I said I am his son too” he whispered“Stop the car William, I want to get out,” I said, how could he betray me like this, he was Tomas’ brother“Why do you want to get out Miranda? You know it’s not safe out there and what I meant was that I am his son just as you are his daughter” he stuttered“Don’t lie to me William” I warned“I am not lying to you Miranda,” he said“Fine, I will think about your suggestion then maybe I will agree to go back with you,” I said folding my arms and looking out the window.We were quiet for the rest of the way until we got home, I kept wondering what I would do if William was really Tomas’s younger brother or elder brother. In fact, what would I have done if William was at all related to Tomas? I couldn’t beg
