Cursed (The Broken Immortals Book 2)

/"I don’t like this. It doesn’t feel right./" Still pouting from this morning when Thorin told him what he had planned, Shaw sat on the bench with his arms crossed as they drove to the Logan’s farm.

Thorin sighed while he looked ahead down the road ahead of them. /"Being human, I realize you don’t understand the significance of the mate bond, but trust me when I tell you, we won’t be able to keep them apart. The Fates won’t allow it./"

A huff of a laugh came from his chest when Shaw turned to face him and narrowed his eyes. /"Try me./"

He pulled left on the reins as Thorin urged the horse down the next drive. /"The more people we got looking out for her, the better off she is. Meeting Ben Logan may be a blessing in disguise. We got to give this thing a chance./"
