Capítulo 176: Seeking Freedom – Part 2

~ SASHA ~

Sasha gaped at the warrior on his knees before her clearly—strategically—offering himself. And for a moment his wisdom and cunning stole her breath. He'd measured correctly that his respect for her would recommend him to the others…

But she didn't have time to figure that out. Whether that had helped or not, the truth was she stood there torn between her mate's feelings of fear and rage, and her own deep desire for peace.
