Chapter 139: Play Our Part!

“You insulted the Moon goddess, and there will be

consequences for that.” Astaraoth announced, making my jaw clench, because I knew he was most likely right. She would have to make an example of us. “I imagine the second Lottie here rejects you,” he declared, stepping toward us, as I instinctively stepped back. “The second she.is out of the picture, your second–chance mates will suddenly pop up, and you will be powerless to fight that bond.”

“The fated mate bond has brought us nothing but pain and suffering, Knox,” I admitted with a sigh, feeling Charlotte tense in my arms. I leaned down and kissed her forehead, needing to reassure her that I loved her without question, but the bond itself was the issue. “This bond keeps trying to tear us apart. Time and time again. Perhaps severing it is the only way to end this cycle of torment.” I admitted with a sigh that wore heavy on my soul.

“No!” Charlotte growled, shoving my chest to get away, but I held her tight, refusing to let her go.
