I wanted nothing more than to ask Darius about the mate issue. The conversation I had overheard between him and Torren kept replaying in my mind, especially the part where Torren had asked about a second chance mate.
Darius had said he had not felt a bond with anyone.
But the way he had said it—there had been something off about it. A hesitation, maybe. Or perhaps I was just reading too much into things because I wanted there to be more between us than just our arrangement.

So I kept my questions to myself.
