Chapter 153
Was his acting out really because their bond had been broken as Ursula had said being separated from her would do to him? She certainly had lost all the strength and power he’d shared with her, maybe the same had happened with Viktor?
Kamilla looked up at them. “Is it because the bond was broken? Did Damon say that?”
They looked puzzled.
“What?” asked Syre. “Your bond was broken? Is that why you left?”
Kamilla nodded slowly and with hesitation. “Yes… I mean… that is what happened. Did Damon not tell you?”
Vlad scratched his chin. “No. We did not even imagine it because… the King is very affected. A broken bond would mean no fucks given whatsoever.”
“Exactly,” said Xavier.
Zen narrowed his eyes. “Kamilla, how did you read into that guy?” He pointed at the Shifter laying still on the ground beside them. “That isn’t an ability that the average half–Vamp would have.”
Kamilla blinked and opened her mouth to explain. When zero explanations came to mind, she tilted her head and puckered her lips. “Yeah… I have no clue. How did I do that?”
Vlad impatiently rolled his eyes. “The bond clearly isn’t broken! What gave you that impression? Did Rena or Viktor tell you that the bond was broken or did you assume?”
Kamilla’s heart practically slammed against her sternum at Vlad’s words. What? A chance their bond wasn’t broken? “Well… what?” she asked, puzzled. “No, the bond was definitely broken! I won’t revive my hope about that. It was certain, even Rena said so! I even heard Ursula say so!”
“Then why is Viktor still bound?” Vlad in a strangely argumentatively toned murmured. “You’re half–human, so it would make sense for you to fall in love with a Vampire King, but it isn’t just anyone who can keep the heart of a man like Viktor bound to them.”
Kamilla huffed out a breath and looked at him. “I… I don’t know! What do you want me to say? Huh? I have no idea why any of this is happening, I’m not even sure why Viktor sent me away, I just assumed that it was either because our bond was broken and he felt nothing anymore or because he believed all the crap Rogan said and is trying to protect me from himself!”
“Well, the bond certainly can’t be broken,” said Xavier, crossing his arms.
Zen tilted his head. “Then that only leaves one other option.”
Kamilla looked at them and released a breath, her mind spinning with so much confusion, you could swear she was trying to solve rocket science and
mathematics.
Was that it then? Was their bond not broken? Is that why she’d been living half in her dreams and half in reality for the past ten days, feeling as though Viktor had not really left her at all? Kamilla bit her lip as she felt a sparkle of hope light up in her heart. Like a wet towel, she drowned the little spark, extinguishing it on the spot! She would not have hope until she was sure!
“You know what?” said Syre with a grin and a glint in his eye. “I’ve got an idea.”
His brothers groaned.
“Weren’t you and Zen banned from getting ideas?” asked Vlad.
Syre sighed. “No, guys, hear me out!” He turned to Kamilla as she stared up at him. “How about… you come with us?”
Kamilla held her breath, considering it. Her head was shaking even before she’d finished considering it. “No. What if Viktor gets angry?” Her brows drew together in genuine worry as she shook her head. “I don’t know what I’d do if he kicked me out a second time.”
“No, Kamilla,” Syre said gently. “Listen, if Viktor were to see you right now, the last thing he’d get is angry.”

True Zen murmured.
Syre nodded. “You need to figure out exactly where you and Viktor stand and for that, you need to speak with Ursula, right? So, technically on back for Uraula, not for Viktor, which is the last thing I want him to think anyway. After him making you leave like that, you should bring him
knees.
Vlad raised his brow half a millimeter up. “How can a human bring a Vampire King to his knees?”
Syre smiled devilishly, his red eyes giving a sudden glow. “Oh, come on! Kamilla already has him in the palm of her hand. He looked at Kamilla. If your bond with Viktor was truly broken and yet being away from you still affects him this much…”
“It would mean you two are fated,” said Xavier in awe. “You’re his soulmate even without the oath sworn by your fathers, Darrius and Klayton,
Syre nodded. “Exactly. That makes it impossible for Viktor to peacefully live without you and you without him. Sadly, he seems to think if he toughs it out, it’ll be okay. We,” He winked at her. “Are going to prove him wrong.”
