"He and I had been friends since we were kids. We grew up as friends, the three of us. In fact, he was like a brother to Penn," she took a pause to take a deep breath and added, "and then we fell in love. We also felt the mate bond, but we had already been dating long before that. I was beginning to think I had found my soulmate and that I would never be alone as a she-wolf—but then—one night—it just happened. I felt this pain and started calling him, but he wouldn't pick up my calls. I went to my brother's room because of the pain I was feeling, and he woke up Dad, who also called his parents, but nobody knew where he was until morning. He arrived straight to my mansion and claimed he had been training the whole night."
