Hector frowned slightly and spoke in a cold, hard voice. "Kaza just said that you had a relationship with him and almost became his mate... I want your explanation."
"What did you say? Relationship? Mate?"
I was so surprised that I stammered.
"Is that all he told you?"
"What else?"
"No, absolutely not!"
I raised two fingers and said piously, "I swear to the Moon Goddess that I have nothing to do with him! If I lie, my mate will die in his boots!"
Not only was Hector not happy, but his face darkened. I didn't know why he was unhappy. He's just my ex-mate, please.
"Well... he didn't say anything else except these messy words?"
I asked cautiously.
"No."
"That's good."
I heaved a sigh of relief.
Damn it, Kaza actually fooled me...But he didn't reveal my identity, which is quite righteous.
