My Two Bosses 2

Episode 4

“But… I am human.” I said as if he didn’t already know. “I didn’t think I could actually feel the mate bond like you do.”

“Just because you’re human doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t be able to feel our bond. The more time you spend with me or even just by being near me, the stronger the bond becomes. That’s just how it works.” He explained.

Damn! This s**t is something serious! The feeling of his hands barely touching me was making me want him…bad.

“So basically, I don’t have a choice in who I choose to love because of this, right? This feeling will grow and inevitably choose for me?” I asked curiously.

I saw his expression change for just a second before he shook his head and gave me a half smirk.

“To be honest, love, it seems as if you do have a choice in who you love, but in regular mate bonds…not really. Of course, there are times when someone could choose to reject their mate for whatever reason, but those are far and few.”

Reject their mate? What the hell?

“What do you mean "reject their mate?" What does that mean?”

He licked his lips and stared at me as if he was pondering whether or not he should answer my question.

“Sometimes...mates, one of them might find the other mate unworthy or unfitting for them in their minds, they simply say that they reject their mate and the other accepts their rejection. It basically ends their bond permanently. But like I said, it has only happened a few times.”

“Unworthy? I thought y’all valued your moon goddess and this mate situation. Why would someone just choose to let their mate go?”

I couldn’t lie, this caught my attention.

“Yeah, we do. And we trust her. But sometimes people question her decisions and decide to take a different course in life. When they lose their mate, they are not normally granted another one. It’s kind of like a punishment for them.”

I hadn’t even realized that I was still in his arms. Of course, I felt the warmth of his body next to mine, but I guess this conversation had my full attention. But now that he’s told me all this, I thought back to the night we “met” and I had to ask the question that was burning in my mind.

“So…why haven’t you rejected me? You did hear me and Adonis that night. You didn’t want a mate anyway, so why didn’t you just reject me then?”

He brought his face incredibly closer to mine and licked his sexy ass lips again.

“I try not to think about that night. I hate everything that happened up until the moment I laid eyes on you. I wanted to hate you, but as soon as I saw you, I saw how incredibly beautiful you are. And that only made me angrier.” He scoffed as he admitted this to me. “But I couldn’t reject you if I tried, Hazel. You’ve had a pull on my heart since that very moment. And it only grows every second that I’m with you.”

His words were like a beautiful symphony to my ear. I could feel my heart thumping a mile a minute. I really was falling for this man.

“Besides, the moon goddess chose you for me for a reason. And I’m not giving you up without the fight of my life.”
