CARLA
As soon as Mint detached himself from me and left without another word, I snapped back to my senses but was still too dazed to think straight.
After all these years, I believed firmly that he would never have any effect on me anymore. Damn the mate bond, I had thought. But he did, oh yes, he did. And to the point where I shamelessly broke down in front of him, I let him hug me without the slightest struggle, and even spew out my deepest secret.
Worst part? I liked it, I liked being in his arms like that even though it was one thing I had sworn off. But maybe it was due to how unstable I was feeling at that point right? Seeing Alec made me crave to be a murderer for the first time in my life, and after he uttered those words, I wanted to bash his skull against the wall so badly.
