Yet,it was clear Kian felt none of the true Mate passion.
Selena fought back the whimper of her wolf.She took a deep breath and looked at him,forcing a steady voice.“We have honored the arrangement perfectly for three years,Kian.What is this?A Bond Severance?Why do you command this?Do you truly intend to break this pact?”She couldn’t hide the grief in her voice.
“This is my command,Selena.”
“What about the Matriarch and Patriarch Volkov?”Selena asked.
“I will address them later.”
Selena’s lips trembled.“But…What if I carry the new blood…”she swallowed the rest of the words.What if I carry your pup?
Kian seemed to have lost his patience and interrupted her,his Alpha tone sharpening.“Selena,understand this,”he said.“Lyra Vance has returned.”
Selena felt the lethal sting of the rejection.Her lips parted in shock as she stared at him,the name of his true desire a fresh wound.
After a moment of silence,she calmly picked up the Bond Termination papers.“Very well.I will review the terms first.”She sounded like a wounded echo.
It was never about him claiming the alliance was coerced.
