I had never imagined this would happen.

Leo kept his word, seeing me through my heat without claiming me. I was the one who'd messed up, and now I was carrying his baby.

He'd told me I was his, I just hadn't believed him, and now everything was a mess.

Pregnant without a bond, it was almost unheard of.

Worst of all, I wanted him to claim me.

He'd chipped away at my distrust until I was sure he meant every word he'd said to me. He was happy about the baby, and serious about bonding with me. I was so close to giving in...

Until he pushed me away.

It was for our protection. To keep us safe. But I wasn't scared of his world anymore, I was scared of a world without him. Of raising our baby on my own...

He tried to break my heart to make me leave, but I was stronger than he thought. He'd said I'd be his forever, and I have to decide if I can forgive him to seal our deal with A Knotty Bond.
