Because no one meddles with those crazy bitches called fate. Vlaya did not know all the details, but it seemed Daemonikai had met Emeriel under a different identity, not realizing who-r what-she truly was.

"Even if Daemonikai's side of the bond was dormant,-it-would be fully awake now," Ottai murmured, more to himself than to Vladya. "Not only did they nurture it through the heat, but now he knows the truth. Does this mean... he's going to be mated again?" Vladya's stare flicked toward Daemonikai again.
