“You know…these past bfew /bhours…I thought about everything you had been through all your life,b” /bCaleb suddenlymented, making me still on the bed under him. “All the pain, the hardship…and to think how I had been one of the people who had made your life miserable…I deserve this, Aura…I deserve bevery /bbit of the pain that I inflicted upon youb…/bb” /b

I not only belonged to him, but the thought of hurting me was painful to him as well.

With a twist of fate from the Gods above, I was now this man’s mate. I was his alone, tied together by the red threads of destiny. And I had been think that I could escape him…that I could leave so he could find happiness all over again…

b“/bCaleb…if I had left…what would’ve really happened?” I asked, my voice hesitant. “Would I really have been allowed to walk away really have been able to retain my memories?”

I was starting to realize that not everyone’s words could be trusted, and Mia and her cheerleading squad were one of the few people who specially vendetta against me. The only person who would be utterly truthful would be Caleb himself

Caleb looked hesitant, as if he bwas /bdebating if he should tell me the whole truth, but then he sighed and nodded.

“bIt /bwould’ve been the same oue like the one that Mia told you about,” he sighed. “Once you’ve known about the existence of the supernatural, there is no going back to your old life, especially if you’re a mate.

bCaleb’s /bshoulders easedb, /bas if a burden had finally lifted off his shoulders. He nodded his head, his beyes /bglistening in bthe /bdim light bof /bthe room, an almost ethereal amber glow to them that hadn’t been there before.

Caleb bit down on my neckb, /bright when there bvein /bbwas /bpulsing, but instead bof /bpain, I felt desire, hot and blinding, shoot through my blood, making me gasp out in shock. There bwasn’t /bbany /bpain, and even if there bwas/bb, /bbI /bdidn’t feel it. All I bfelt /bwas this blinding desire coursing through me, igniting a fire in my body that bI /bdidn’t think bwas /bpossible.

The intensity of my emotions left me breathless, and in the darkness behind my eyelids, I saw something magical…golden threads.

They floated towards me like liquid gold, wrapping around me, around my mind and body, absorbing into my skin, and suddenly, I felt so many emotions all at once, a jumbled kaleidoscope of thoughts and colors. But there was a ‘knowing‘ inside my heart that they weren’t mine…they belonged to Caleb…

We were now connected in ways that didn’t seem humanly possible, and yet, it felt…right. As if this was how it was supposed to be all along…

I finally opened my eyes and my gaze locked onto Caleb’s mesmerizing blue orbs. It felt like seeing him for the first time…like falling for him anew. I didn’t know what exactly was different, but something felt different, and I couldn’t really describe what it was in words.

I raised my arms and cupped his cheek. His eyes were zed over, unfocused, and his breathing was ragged, but so was mine.

I don’t know what came over me, but the next moment, I wrapped my fingers around his nape and hauled him down for a kiss, my lips meeting him in a kiss that seared me right down to my core.
