With that, I turned back around, dragging Cliff with me as I walked away from my stupid mate. All I could think about was that, my rejection of Kol has been made official long ago, but I can't understand why I still have some connections with him. I would give all I've got to stop having such feelings for him. Not romantic feelings of course, but the connection we share as mates, albeit having rejected each other, is still there, which is quite strange. I rushed downstairs, or I was rushing downstairs, till Cliff yanked me back. "Kat, you're leaving frost bite on my damn skin." He told me and ripped his wrist away, rubbing it. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." I told him and pulled him in for a hug. "I was just angry." I told him and he sighed in relief when I made his wrist ache disappear.
