Grow Closer

[Denali’s POV]

For the next few days, Rosco and I alternate between work and vacationing. I had to admit, it was pretty easy being by his side, and despite everyone else in my life, he truly cared about my opinions and wants.

By the fifth day, I could feel my walls beginning to lower, allowing Rosco in despite our first meeting. I was even willing to tell him a bit about my past and what I endured, while he too opened up to me.

I quickly learned that the rumor about him killing his mate was just that—a rumor. To this day, despite attending all New Moon yearly gatherings, he hasn’t met his mate, but that fact alone left me feeling uneasy. It was one thing to have found your mate and then lost them, but to not have found your mate while being married to another wasn’t a good situation.
