Chapter 19: Assassination Attempt

Adeline POV

I shifted the second I was among the trees tearing through the trees as fast as I could, my entire body revolting against running away from our mate. ‘Skye why is this so hard! Is it me? Am I doing something wrong? You saw his face; he didn’t react the entire time I was talking! It was like he didn’t care if I stayed or if I didn’t!’ I could feel tears in my eyes as we ran faster and faster heading for the border. Maybe we could catch the end of a patrol to tag along to or just be alone for a while.

‘The Moon Goddess warned us he would need time and patience, but he does seem more resistant than even I thought he would be. The bond doesn’t seem to affect him at all, and I can tell it’s wearing us both down.’ I could feel her guilt well up which made me smile.
