Nathan's POV. I watched as she breathed in and out, her chest moving up and down with each inhale. She was beautiful. Her hair was longer than the last time. The pink highlights were fading and her brown hair was coming out from the roots. It was a colour disaster but it was perfect. She was mine now. I didn't know why it occurred to me late, but I was glad I had the upper hand. She deserved to be mine. She was my mate and I couldn't bear sharing her with someone else. I tucked her hair behind her ear. She must have gone through a lot where she was kept. I could tell she wasn't over the trauma from that place with the way she clung to me. I was going to protect her and support her. For as long as I could. I wished Aaron could be here to see me do this, but he didn't play his cards
