The revelation of my fate hit me like a truck. Him? My mate? It seemed impossible to accept that the universe would pair me with the man who had shattered my heart.

He clearly hadn’t forgotten that night either. In his mind, I was still guilty.

His words cut deep, and it frustrated me that they still had such power over me. I fought back tears that threatened to spill.

“You’re still just as cruel as ever,” I said, meeting his gaze.

Kane’s iron grip on my arms finally loosened.

“I’ll say this one last time – whether you believe it or not, I wasn’t the one who drugged you that night.”

He sneered as if I was feeding him lies. This man might have gained more power, but he hadn’t changed a bit. He was still the same Kane Thorne I’d walked away from five years ago.

I tried to leave, but his next words stopped me cold.

“What about this bond?”

I paused, turning to face him. “What bond?”

Playing dumb was my only defense.

As he stepped toward me, I backed away.

“Don’t pretend you can’t feel the mate bond.”

I shook my head slightly.

“You can’t be my mate. Our marriage ended five years ago. I’ve moved on. This mate bond means nothing.”

My response triggered a furious growl from him. I swallowed hard when my wolf urged me to submit.

Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes before opening them again.
