Bab 906: Chapter 122: Two Bodies Become One

Jared’s face fell when he realized the mate bond wasn’t restored. My heart ached in my chest, seeing how sad he looked. He’d wanted to restore it so badly. I knew he did.

There was a part of me that wanted it restored too, despite how much I didn’t think we needed it.

I wrapped my arms loosely around Jared’s neck and looked into his eyes. He looked away.

“Hey, look at me.”

I licked my lips slowly. “It doesn’t matter, okay?”

“Of course, it matters! How can it not?”

Sighing, I tightened my arms around him, pulling myself closer. I slid my body against Jared’s.

“It doesn’t matter because I don’t need the mate bond to tell me how much I love you. Do you need it to tell how much you love me?”

Jared shook his head and slipped his arms around my waist. “No, I know that I love you.”

“Then we don’t need the mate bond. My heart flutters every time we are together. Isn’t that enough?”
