DIMITRI'S POV
If I could reject her, would I be able to do it?
I had told myself my word was my honor, but seeing my mate in such a state because of the words I had spoken while I was drunk and torn between what my beast wanted and what I was bound by honor to do shattered me completely.
The thought didn't linger for long. If I were in control, I wouldn't do it. I couldn't.
But she didn't know she had that power. She didn't need to.
"No," I replied. "If the heavens put us together, there must be a reason for it."
"You would disregard Lady Milana?"
My jaw tensed. It was foolishness to hold on to the bond. I could tell her and be done with all this mess. But would that really solve anything? I was bound to her mate bond or not. I had kids with her.
As much as I wanted to blame
