I stared at the screen until the words blurred before taking out the SIM card and throwing it into the thrash.
Then I closed my eyes.
The mate bond stirred, no longer distant and restrained by me.
Darius.
I didn’t fight it this time.
I accepted.
The pull was instant, overwhelming. The world tilted as I felt the powerful aura seep into my bones.
Before I left, I handed a sealed envelope to the driver waiting at the entrance to take me to the wedding.
“Deliver this to Alpha Zyan. ” I said calmly. “Tell him, it's my sweet wedding gift to him.”
It contained proof of the child he killed and the empire he thought he still owned.
He will soon find out that the daughter he once longed for most was killed by his own hands.
When I stepped outside, Darius stood beneath the fading sky, his tall frame still radiating battle-worn power.
Fresh scars traced his arms and collarbone, blood barely dried at his temple. His gaze dropped immediately to my stomach and something dark and furious crossed his face.
"I will cancel everything. "he said without hesitation. "The wedding. No one will touch you. You need time-
"No, the wedding will be tonight. My daughter is waiting for me to avenge her. "
