For years, I had dreamt of this very moment, but the man at the other end of my dreams had betrayed me, and now I was stuck with a man who I could not understand, a man who I did not love, but also a man that made my heart beat faster than it ever had.
From the corner of my eyes, I spotted Vera, her smile bright and her eyes wide. She nodded at me and beckoned forward, urging me to go on.
Her actions reminded me of a sad fact: the deed had already been done, and I could not go back on my words, on my vows, on my… mate.
So, I turned around, clamped down on the raging emotions boiling within me and faced Damien. With a deep intake of breath, I smiled.
