ANDREAS’S POV
I’d never known Nico’s late mate and wife, Carlotta, but he’d talked about her with so much love in his voice and sorrow in his eyes that I knew her untimely demise had wrecked him.
So the revelation that he had a second chance mate was quite exciting. Nico was an amazing person, and he deserved all the happiness in the world.
But on the heels of that excitement came concern. I was happy that Nico had found his mate, but I didn’t know if I could say the same for his mate.
Bella had been hurt badly, and it didn’t take a genius to put the pieces of the puzzle together and realize which group of people had hurt her.
She’d been violated by male wolves; could she handle the fact that she had a werewolf mate?
“Can I see her?” Nico asked softly, and I saw the concern in his eyes.
It broke my heart to tell him, “I don’t think that’s a good idea. At least not right now.”
He sighed heavily but looked resigned as if he’d expected that response.
