Mourning

Even though she told him that she couldn't blame him for the situation she was in, Sophia couldn't bring herself to look at Luca as he begged her to blame him. 

She felt guilty because that's what she had been doing earlier but she knew how stupid she was for ever letting that thought get into her head. 

The moment she saw the concern on his face when she first saw him, she knew immediately that he would never do anything to hurt her. He was her alpha and the one who was supposed to protect her.
