Oh my god, Am breathed. “Se that day when you interupted –

I nodded painfully, is throat tight with emotion. “It’s been a nightmare. This Soul Bond has brought me nothing but humiliation and pain.” My micr smacked slightly. Tveryone Thinks I’m just a desperate enega trying to climb the Park hierarchy. No me believes I’m truly his mate–not even Derek. Thimself!
My hands clenched into fists on the table as I confessed the complexity of my feelings. The worst part is that even though he rejected me, even though hei cold and curl, I still feel this… this pull toward him. My well still recognizes him as our mate. She doesn t understand why he won’t accept
1 blinked rapidly, fighting back tears that threatened to fall. “Sometimes I hate that she chose him. Out of everyone in the entire Pack, why did she have to pick someone who obviously can’t stand me?”
Bet if you’re truly his Soul Bond,” lack said thoughtfully, “then why are you both hiding your relationship from everyone? Anr you planning to go pantie after the rumors die down?”
“Never,” I said firmly. “He doesn’t want me,”
Amy frowned. “Why wouldn’t he want you? Is it because of Bradley?”
“Maybe,” I sighed. “But I also couldn’t possibly be with him. He’s my ex–boyfriend’s brother. I only ever saw him as a future in–law before.”
lack leaned in closet, lowering his voice to ensure no one was eavesdropping. “Look, Erin. A Pack Alpha rejecting his Soul Bond goes against our most sacred rules. You’re destined to be together. Even if he claims he doesn’t want you, even if he wants another woman, he cannot resist the connection between you. I know that feeling now!!
He smiled at Amy. “There are two options: reject or accept. As the leader of the Darkwood Pack, he has no choice but to accept you, whether now or later. If he rejects, the curse of denying a Soul Bond will bring suffering to both of you.”
His words sent a shiver down my spine. I had heard vague rumors about the consequences of rejecting a Soul Bond, but had always dismissed them as superstition.
Thats why he drove you to my house that night,” Amy said, her eyes brightening with understanding. “He obviously cares about you. Otherwise, he might have dumped you anywhere?
1 snorted. “He cares about me? Do you know what be said to me today? He implied I was looking for a job only because I needed money after breaking up with Bradley. He’s always so arrogant.”
“But he still gave you a job you never dreamed pil,” Any pointed out. “His assistant secretary Imagine someday you might get promoted to his periona secretary. Wow, what will happen then!”
Jack rolled his eyes. Den 1 get ahead of yourself. Try to understand her situation. The guy is temble to her
“Oh, come on, Jack,” Any dismissed. “What do you expect froot him? its natural he felt uncomfortable considering Erin was his brothers girlfriend. But now she’s completely done with Brailley, So there’s a bright future ahead for Erin.”
