Chapter .35.

Tell me darling,

would you still love me

if I told you

about the monsters

I need to sing to sleep

every night?

If you understood the way I need to tiptoe

across my own mind

so I can fall asleep before daylight?

If you knew where nightmares came from, if you saw my scarred soul, would being with me terrify you?

If you knew the full extent of the damage they had done to me, would you stay,

would you still want to?

"Who is Cal?"

Atlas's confused words have me looking up to him in sudden realization.

"Don't."

Alpha Brandon looks at me with sad eyes. Sad eyes I thought I had escaped from.

"I'm sorry Lexie. But your mate needs to know."
