I knew the chances were slim, maybe even nonexistent. Maybe those feelings I had for her weren’t because of a hidden mate bond but because she was the way she was.
I glanced up at the sky and sighed. It wasn’t a full moon anyway, and my trail of thoughts stopped when I heard her voice calling me.
“Isaac?” She turned, and another sigh escaped me. No bond, nothing. Only the love I had for her remained.
I hadn’t even thought this through, what this would mean for us, the future, my pack. However, why should I care?
“I did it,” she breathed, a weak smile formed, and for once there wasn’t a lingering pain in her eyes, only sadness for who she had lost.
Who I believed were taken from her by her mate or ex-mate…
I had to tell her, but would she listen?
Would she run?
Would she leave me?
Would she hate me?
“You did it.” I watched her come closer while anxiety crawled under my skin, reaching higher until I had no choice but to stop her.
