Soren
People often assumed that my emotions clouded my judgment, as though the ability to feel deeply somehow made me weak or foolish. It was an insult I'd grown accustomed to, one that grated on my nerves but rarely affected my decisions.
Rowan's words the other day had been a bitter pill to swallow, but they'd opened my eyes to a crucial truth. I wasn't stupid, but I could be manipulated if my emotions took the reins.
That boy had been counting on me rushing to save his so-called parents without a second thought. If Rowan hadn't been there, I might have fallen for it.
I was sympathetic to other people's woes. It was why so many people didn't think I was fit to be an Alpha. I didn't have the heart for it. I protect people because I have a nurturing side to me.
