Chapter 30 : Love Under the Moonlight

*Lila’s POV*

I wasn’t face first down on the floor this time, but it was a very near thing. After weaseling a promise out of me, Leo left. Now, I was the one sitting in the chemical closet, trying not to have a nervous breakdown.

Just when I know what I want to do, someone comes along and fucks it up for me. Just when I’m ready to try and commit, this happens and I’m once more left not knowing what to do.

Mate bites—I’m sure they could be something wonderful and magical when done correctly.

When done correctly was the important part.

There was some mystical part I just wasn’t getting…like the existence of a Moon Goddess. But I understood it well enough to hate everything that had happened to Cole.

The way Leo talked about it, it sounded like there wasn’t a way to undo it, no matter how wrong it was. He sounded so resigned. Did they try to remove it, or was it taboo to remove it?
