章 79: Chapter 32

"Wait." I stopped, but didn't turn around. "Can you at least give me a chance? I mean, we are mates, but if you don't want a relationship, I won't force you into one. Can you at least get to know me before you decide that I'm the person you want to stay away from?" I thought about it for a moment. I guess I was being a little too stubborn.

I turn around with a sigh. "Okay," I said slowly. "Sorry, I'm just... off today." I extended my arm towards him. "I'm--"

I must've looked like a dork with the smile I had on my face. Something about his name made butterflies erupt in my stomach. It was a simple name, but the feelings it gave me weren't so simple.

Then I realized it was the bond's handy work and my smile dropped.
