-Joseph-
I rush out of the palace and shift as I jump off the porch. f**k my clothes. f**k the bond. f**k it all. She promised she wouldn’t give up on me, but she has. She’s moving to her own room to get away from me because I can’t control my temper.
Zeus is oddly quiet as we run deep into the woods. Our mate is afraid of him, and he hasn’t even met Hera. Cora will probably never allow it now.
It is my fault. I hurt her. He finally says after we’ve run to the lake.
We did what needed to be done. I remind him. It’s important.
Did it, though? he asks. You didn’t do anything else the way it was supposed to be done. Why was that different?
I can’t deal with this. I can’t deal with anything that’s going on. I can’t deal with my wolf. I can’t deal with myself.
The bond
