His selection to ask for a bride from the Crescent moon pack in trade for peace used to be backfiring at him and he wished he hadn’t carried out that.
Right from the second he walked down the steps, he may want to feel her presence, her scent used to be the only thing drawing him and he did not expect that a lady who desired him useless would turn out to be his mate.
Her vanilla scent drove him loopy and he stood there observing her, she used to be beautiful and best to him and he struggled to maintain his urge to himself performing like her presence didn’t affect him at all.
He may want to see pure hatred in her eyes for him and he didn’t blame her yet he additionally didn’t care about that.
