Chapter 22: I'm Right Here.
Reece's POV.
“What did you say?” I asked again, now very impatient.
“I said, Marcus is slowly deteriorating and it looks like he's going to die soon.” He repeated, like I was suddenly hard of hearing. I looked at him, pushing back my irritation to get what I wanted.
“Not that. I meant about Aria. Did you just say she cheated?” I sat up now.
“Well, yes, I did. I thought it was general knowledge. She cheated on Marcus and that was why Marcus rejected her. That's also why he's deteriorating so badly because their mate bond was quite strong and it had taken him a lot to have rejected her. So now he's suffering both the consequences of her cheating and of her leaving because he rejected her. Poor man.”
He shook his head slightly, like he was actually sorry
