The next day, Leo had almost completely healed, which meant Haden couldn't be far behind. We went to the Loren household only to find that Lia was desperate to see him. She begged Leo until he gave in to get him from the hospital where he was being held in and bring him back to the house.
"Are you sure honey?" Rosa asked after Leo had left. "It wouldn't hurt to wait a couple of days."
"Mum, don't forget about the mate bond," Maria said. "They have met now there's no going back."
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. I want to see him," Lia reassured as she squeezed her mother's hand
"He will want you to go back with him today Lia," Antonio warned. "But remember that your brother made it so that you have the option."
I glanced at Antonio and swallowed, remembering how against he had been about me having a choice only days ago.
"And when you do decide leave you can come back all the time. Whenever you want," Lisa added.
