CHAPTER TWELVE

~

“I don’t know you.”

It was that simple. One thing was for sure, she didn’t rush to trust anyone anymore, and shifters had a reputation for short tempers and fighting, and not just around their own kind.

She certainly didn’t want to get in the way of one of his fists. Her eyes dropped to his huge hands that were balled up on his thighs.

There was an air of anger that sat within him, she could see it, and it made her nervous.

Karl followed her gaze. He knew that his anger was bubbling just beneath the surface.

His bear was loving the idea that was pinging around his mind of hunting the man down and ripping him limb from limb, but he was worrying his mate, and that couldn’t happen.

Karl made a conscious effort to unclench his fists. It felt to him that the act of stretching out his fingers to lay against his thick, muscles thighs took a phenomenal amount of willpower on his part – let alone his bear, but he managed to do it anyway.

For her.

“Not everyone that you’ve met in your life has tried to hurt you, Bonnie,” Karl had a hard time keeping the rolling growl from his tone.

“I know.” She nodded in acceptance of what he was saying.

She knew deep down that she now had irrational fears about people – men, and yet, just like being afraid of a harmless house spider, they were there up front and centre within her mind and she couldn’t seem to shake them free…

They also mated for life and that part was scary.

He’s my mate … I get that, maybe … but how am I supposed to know that?

And what am I supposed to do about it?

Am I supposed to just look at him and know that this man is the one I’m supposed to spend the rest of my life with?

Like … love at first sight?

Maybe lust at first sight …

Oh, wow … change that thought…

Bonnie realised that he was giving her an expectant look, and she didn’t think that she’d missed a question…

“I get it. I do – I just…”

“Don’t know me…”

“Right.” She nodded, just once, but it was a big one.

“What happened next?” He asked, not really sure that he wanted to hear it, but it was better that he heard it now, when everything was new, than when his beast was bonded and he had no choice but to hunt the man down and kill him…

“He broke into my
