"But why uncle didn't give this locket to me before? Even you Raynold. You know that it has been a year that I have found my mate then why didn't you give it to me then?"
Raynold sighed dejectedly before answering. "Because of you, Edwin. Because of your reputation and your way of life. I thought you would never be loyal to one woman. And a human mate of a werewolf leader? That is very unheard of.
I thought it was either some kind of twisted plot or you were just using a human to fool the world. And even if you had found your mate, I didn't believe that you would go to great lengths to save her like uncle Walter wanted to save aunt Margaret."
Edwin closed his eyes to fight the surge of various emotions in his chest. Though his pretence of years had kept him safe from the evil plans of people around him, and shielded him from unwanted responsibilities and blame, it had also made him pay a heavy cost.
