My mom found me in front of my computer hours later. “Baby?” I don’t even remember how the call ended, just that it did pretty

quickly after my father dropped the bomb that shattered me. “Babe?” The black screen of the computer was taunting me. The

screen was calm, still and silent, but my insides were going insane. I wish my father had kept his mouth shut.

Why? Nix’s voice was soft, but confused.

You have kept your scent hidden and so has he…

I closed my eyes as I thought back to all the times he said I smelled wrong. How he never smelled like anything. He explained it.

I’m sure he had. What the hell was going on? How do I keep forgetting things about him? About myself? How had I forgotten to

tell my father about the rogues?

“Baby!” My mother grabbed me by my shoulders, jolting me from my turbulent thoughts. I felt like I was swimming underwater

with everything. She watched me with wide eyes. “Baby, are you okay? What are you doing?” She looked at the black screen and

her brows furrowed. She turned back. “Why are you just sitting here?”

I blinked at her, not understanding her questions. My entire world had been shaken. How could she not see it?

Does his words matter that much? Megan sighed. It’s not like we can go back and changed anything.

“Amy, talk to me.” My mom grabbed my face and bent down to stare into my eyes. “Please.” My eyes finally met hers and I could

feel the tears jump to my eyes. “What’s wrong, baby girl?”

“Have you ever been told something that shatters your entire outlook on a situation but it changes nothing?” My words were

soft, but they held so much emotion.

My mother laughed softly. “Are you serious?”

I nodded. “Yeah.”

My mom squeezed my cheek. “Baby, I thought my mate had cheated on me, and I turned my back on our bond. Only for my daughter to tell me almost twenty years later that he hadn’t cheated. He had used magic on me and I had been the one to betray our bond.” I watched a tear fall down her face. “So yeah baby I do.”

I watched her for another minute. “Sorry.” She just winked at me.

“Like you said, I can’t change anything, and your father has forgiven me. I’ve spent the last few years forgiving myself.” She slid into my bed. “Now why don’t you tell me what is going on in that brain of yours?”

I sighed as I leaned back against the headboard of my bed. “Rowan.”

My mom’s face crumpled in confusion. “Rowan the king?” I nodded. “What about him?”

“Did you know he hides his scent?” Such an innocent question that was hiding my feelings.

“Yeah baby, everyone does. He’s a Lycan male. The stronger they are, the earlier they have to hide their scent around wolves.” It

all sounded so familiar, but still so foreign to me.

“Why though?”

“Because as an unmated Lycan male, his scent contains a hormone that would drive unmated female wolves insane. They would

throw themselves at him.” I lifted my brow, and she chuckled. “More than they already do.”

“So, how is he ever supposed to find his mate?” I threw up my hands.

My mom smiled. “He has to be selective. What he is supposed to do is wait until he scents his mate, then he releases his scent

when they are alone to confirm the bond. Once mated, the hormone will disappear and he can walk around with his scent free for

his mate to enjoy. All Lycan males are taught it. Especially the strong ones.” She grabbed my hand. “Why are you asking?”

“Because I fell like I’ve heard this before, but any time I think about it, the thought disappears.” My mom nodded like it was

normal.

“Yeah baby, that’s the goddess for you.” She chuckled. “As a female, we have it easier, but the men were chased relentlessly. So

the goddess made it that way.” My mom shrugged. “Once you’re mated, it becomes cemented in your mind, but this way you
