“I know,” she said softly. “I felt it.”

I opened my eyes and looked at her.

“Sienna was my best friend,” I mumbled. “She was a huge part of my life. I trusted her with my life. I believed in her to the point of endangering my sister’s life. Looking back, I can’t believe how fucking stupid I was. I can’t believe that I trusted her more than I trusted my sister.”

I stopped talking and took a deep breath.

Daisy caressed my cheek.

“I can’t even explain why,” I continued. “I don’t know why I trusted Sienna, but I do know that it fucked me up. It made me suspicious and so fucking afraid. I am so sorry, honey. It’s so fucking hard to let that fear go after everything that happened.”

Daisy sighed and placed a small kiss on my lips.

“Sienna was an idiot,” Daisy said. “I can’t even explain to you how angry I am at her. Emma is an amazing girl, and I love her so much. I love her because she reminds me of you. If Sienna loved you, she would have loved Emma too. There is so much of you in Emma, and I am so excited to discover it all. I love that girl, and I promise that I am not a threat to her.”

My heart skipped a beat, and I felt tears in the corners of my eyes.

The woman in my arms was so fucking amazing!

I didn’t say anything. I just kissed her. I wanted to show her how fucking much she meant to me.

A knock on my office door interrupted us.

I was so focused on my mate that I didn’t even hear anyone approaching my office.

“Come in,” I mumbled against Daisy’s soft lips.

The door opened, and I looked up.

My sister walked inside, closing the door behind herself. She kept her eyes on the papers in her hand.

“Andrew, can you…” she spoke but stopped when she looked up and saw Daisy in my arms.

Her eyes widened a little, and she smiled.

“I am sorry,” she said. “I didn’t mean to interrupt. I will come back later.”

“No, it’s okay,” Daisy said as she stood up and went to sit on the chair in front of my desk. “We were just talking.”

“I will be out of here soon,” Emma said as she approached my desk and handed me the papers. “I just need Andrew to sign something for me.”

I took them from her and placed them on the desk in front of me.

“It’s okay, love,” I said, giving her a small smile. “You weren’t interrupting. We were talking about you.”

Emma furrowed her eyebrows. “What about me?”

I looked at my mate and gave her a small smile.

“How protective I am of you,” I said, looking back at my sister. “And how suspicious I am of everyone.”

Emma raised an eyebrow at me. She glanced at Daisy and sighed.

“You are an idiot, Andrew,” she said. “Daisy would never hurt me.”

I chuckled and shook my head. Daisy laughed.

“Maybe I should have just talked to Emma about my concerns,” Daisy said with a small smirk. “She is efficient.”
