Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 384: Her Words

Lennox’s POV

I felt it. She was uneasy. No, more than uneasy. She didn’t like Selene here. She didn’t like her presence. The bond made it possible to feel her emotions, and I understood. If the roles were reversed, if I stood watching her hug another man, I’d be furious too. And goodness, I wish I could turn around right now, look Selene in the eye, and tell her, "You know what?

Every ounce of her discomfort slammed into me through the bond, sharp and heavy. And goodness, it hurt.
