Odessa's POV
*****
The sex was good. Who am I kidding... The sex was fantastic.
But was it really worth the heartache that came with Kaelos treating me like nothing but a means to an end when we were done?
"Take my word for it. The only other way to break the mate bond would be for either me or you to die..."
Kaelos' words still rang through my head when I put on my clothes and walked out of my room while he was bathing.
Sticking a knife into his throat felt oddly tempting now. Watching him bleed out, the mere thought of it...
"Anything to get rid of these accursed feelings," I muttered to myself, clenching my hands into fists when I finally walked outside.
The moon shone its silver light above, but unlike before, I didn't see its beauty.
Not right now.
