Chapter 4Kieran:The moment Tatiana agreed to follow me, I knew she had no idea what she was walking into.She wouldn't have followed me if she knew. Maybe she would have, but I doubted that she would be thought foolish to do so.But I was not going to let her go. No, no, not ever.She was mine.The mate bond snapped into place the second I laid eyes on her in the forest. I had felt it, the pull, the connection, the need to protect her. But as I studied her, watched the way she held herself together despite the clear pain she carried, I realized something.She didn’t feel it.Not yet.So, I kept my mouth shut.If she hadn’t noticed, then she wasn’t ready to. And I wasn’t about to scare her away before I figured out who the hell she was and why she was alone in rogue territory.And I wasn't going to do so until she was willing to respond to the questions that I was going to ask. And judging by her briefest of answers, I could tell that she was still lost and whatever she was thinking.
