(Kael POV)
"Kael, if you are here because you think that I can replace Stephanie, you should know… I am not Stephanie. Nor do I want to be."
I look at Astrid in confusion. "Is that what you think? That I am here because I want you to replace your sister?"
"Of course that is what she thinks, you a&&hole!" Luke links me. "Tell her it is not true!!!"
"I am not her, Kael," Astrid repeats.
"I know that, Astrid!" I respond, almost angrily.
"Maybe you know that now… but that day at the waterfall…"
Oh, my Goddess. I had forgotten about the waterfall. I am an even bigger idiot than I thought.
I reach out and take Astrid's hand. "Astrid, you are my mate. I admit that I used to think that Stephanie was… but I was wrong. We were all wrong. You are my mate. You."
"You mean that I am your second chance mate."
