“Do you always like being alone?”
“Yes.”
A small crinkle forms on his forehead. “Never been concerned about finding a mate?”
“No.”
“Isn’t that what all males want? To find their loved one and settle down.”
“Not me.” Now that my eyes could focus on the smaller details, I could see my comment frustrates him. “Life for me has never been about finding a mate. I was raised differently. What I like is knowledge.”
“Power?”
“No, knowledge. I like to know things, figure things out, find little secrets hidden among life.”
“That explains all the books.” A small smile flickers at the corners of his lips. “What else do you like to do?”
“Why do you want to know?”
“If you need to give it a name, call it curiosity.” He had twisted his body around to face me properly. His scent of leather and tobacco is strong, but it was a trick. A trick that I wasn’t going to fall for.
“I like to help people.”
“But you don’t want to help me?” He cocks an eyebrow at me.
“You found me in the hospital, what kind of help do you think I offer?!”
“You are right. But you could help me and I could help you.”
I roll my eyes
“Not open to that yet. That’s fine, but you will be. You will want to help me, because that’s what mates do.”
“Is that what you said to all the others?”
He laughs to himself, spinning back around in the chair and propping his feet up on the coffee table. “I don’t think I have enjoyed anyone’s company as much as yours, mate.”
“Stop calling me that.”
“I will call you mate until you finally see the truth.”
Cooper surprises me by going back to sleep. He could probably tell I was almost at full strength again and he had done nothing apart from block the front door. Pulling my wrists open, I’m able to break the rope. Quickly and quietly, I get to my feet, checking the windows for another exit.

Next chapter??? Must know what happens!!...
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...
So... after 546 now what? I know this cannot just be the end of the story? So when is there a new chapter? I've literally read this in 4 days!...
Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...
I love this book!!!...

I love the way you are continuing the story. It's easy to follow, easy to pause, and easy to get back on track with. Me having three little children, it's hard to find "me time" but when I do I get caught up with this book. I love it!!!!...
