“Not just a choice,” Celeste corrected. “A commitment. A full acceptance.”
Mate bonds weren’t casual. They were sacred, powerful connections that could heal or destroy. I had no issue with committing with Kai but Briella… I couldn’t take that risk. Until I was sure that Kai was going to leave…

A while later, I sat at the clearing – me and Kai’s favourite meetup spot. Since he spent the night at my house, we decided to meet up later in the evening.
I was still thinking about my conversation with Celeste earlier on while trying to figure out the kind of person Kai’s mother was. Why was she protective of her son and uneasy about our mate bond? Most people would welcome their child finally finding their mate. Why was she disapproving of I and Kai’s bond?
At least Celeste hadn’t mentio
