Daniel, please don't do this. I'm your brother's friend, and I'm in love with you, Violet. My brother doesn't deserve you like I do, Nathaniel. You have to believe me, it wasn't me who killed him. Our bond is broken, and I, Nathaniel Williams, Alpha of the red pack, reject you as my mate. I don't want a husband who doesn't trust me. Violet, I hope you reject me as your mate. I didn't want to kill him, and I will prove it to you.
