Bab 46: Wicked side

Just like that everyone paused, even Bree who was trying to struggle past Ahmar's hold and looked down at him, she could only see the top of his head but she could feel his fear of her leaving him, as he held her tight. He was holding her close to him because he was afraid of never seeing her again and this was when it hit her —— back then she was too eager to save her life that she only cared about breaking the bond, she saw the impatience and stubbornness of her mates but what she couldn't see was just how anxiousness of their beasts who lived and bled for Saphira, who was their mate. 

Ahmar's beast fear must have originated from there on, which was why he was holding her tight as if he wanted to burn her existence in his. 

Bree breathed in and out, she took the mating bond as something simple as marriage vows that can be broken at will but as she felt Ahmar's beast's fear, she realised it was more than that.
