HIS FIRM DECLARATION
~MIRA'S POV~
I felt terrible after Dominic and I left the forest.
Even now, as we walked through the academy grounds, my thoughts kept drifting back to Kael.
The look in his eyes.
The jealousy.
The pain.
The way he had stood there watching us. Dominic kept reassuring me that pretending to be close would eventually make Kael back off.
If only he knew the truth. Kael wasn't being drawn to me because of simple attraction.
It was the bond.
The stupid, confusing, impossible bond.
And the worst part? I cared about him too.
Far more than I wanted to admit. Every time I remembered the expression on his face when we walked away together, guilt twisted painfully inside my chest.
A part of me wanted to run back.
To tell him everything was okay.
To smooth my finger
