An Unreasonable request

King Pierre's lips thinned when he heard Bree's response, because even though Bree didn't say anything rude, it was clear that she had made her stance known. She was not going to accept any demands that she found upsetting. He glanced at Cian before saying to him, "I believe that my daughter might have told you that her husband, who was not her true mate, if I might add, broke the bond because he was having a hard time getting close to her." 

He interlocked his fingers and set them on the table before adding, "It's due to the fact that my daughter was once kidnapped and tormented in ways one can only imagine and she has a hard time getting close to a man. She told me that this was what she had told you." 

Cian straightened up but he didn't recall anything. Omar had only asked him to accompany that woman long enough to charm her and make her the decisive factor for the alliance. But he had paid no attention to what she was talking about.
