Xaden leaned back in his chair and looked Aurora up and down.
"You don't question my decisions." He told her.
"I'm not questioning your decisions." She said. "But this is the daughter of the man who took everything from the both of us. They took your mate and killed my entire pack and family."
He hated being reminded about his mate.
When he was about five years old, he had found his mate.
A little girl was the daughter of a high-ranking beta in their pack, and her name was Lydia. She had been three years old.
But the mate bond clicked instantly.
It was extremely rare for anyone to have found their mate so early.
Xaden had known that she would be with him for life.
Even as a child, he understood what he meant.
But she had been killed along with her family in the attack.
There was no second chance for him. He was stuck in life alone. Moreover, he had made sure he would never find a mate.
