His... she was his, he said? Alessio's words left Neveah feeling bitter in the pit of her stomach but that was all it was, there was not the slightest flicker of emotion at his declaration, not from Neveah and not from her wolf.
They had both already learnt the hard way, it would be stupid if them to still be shackled by a bond that tied their fate to a monster.
Yes, the mate bond was there, she could still feel the slightest tugs of it deep in the depths of her mind where she had buried it beneath a pile of resentment and wrath.
For everyone else, this mate bond was something cherished, but for Neveah, it was only a curse she was forced to live with and because she recognized it for what it was, she would never let it control her.
All those detestable emotions the mate bond stirred, Neveah had learnt to crush them before they could even show their heads.. this was the only way she could ensure she was never vulnerable to the enemy.
