"What kind of woman shall I be if I were to take that away from her?...From you?" Neveah asked.
"I will turn twenty seven this summer, I have waited and searched nine years for my mate Veah. I will be Alpha soon and my people will need a worthy Luna...you are my choice." Lucas Varleston said.
Neveah shook her head, Lucas Varleston was standing his ground and she knew she would have to make him understand, regardless of how cruel she needed to be to achieve that.
"And in the event that you do find your mate? What happens then? Will you severe the bond for me?" Neveah asked straightforwardly.
"I will make the vow upon my honor if you require it, cast your fears aside Veah. I am a man of my word and I will stand by my choice." Lucas Varleston promised.
Neveah was astonished by the sincerity in his tone but it only spurred on her determination to spare him from her father's malicious intents.
