‘Reveal the issue?’she inwardly scoffed.‘Should I command him that I do not wish for a Bond Severance?That I do not wish to be rejected?’
‘He brought me a powerful tribute.He did not scent of Lyra this morning.Does this mean his core loyalty still resides here?’
‘If I tell him I don’t want to end our political binding,will he halt the command?’
With a faint hope and renewed confidence,Selena turned to him and opened her mouth.But before she could speak,Kian added,“Even if we sever the bond,I will still be the Kin who claimed you under the Matriarch.You can tell me what disrupts your spirit,as in the old days.”
Selena blinked.Her knees trembled,forcing her to stumble backward.She felt as if the vital air had been instantly sucked from the chamber.All of her thoughts vanished in an instant,leaving her wolf-mind utterly blank.
After a few moments,she looked at Kian and gave him her most practiced,sweetest smile.“Of course.But truly,Alpha,I am secure.You should attend to your Alpha duties.I will simply purify myself now.”
