Chapter 0503 "I don't regret it." "Liar." "I'm not the only one lying to myself, am I?" She winks at me. "Spill." Her pace is quick as she followsacross the grounds to the burnt out packhouse. She doesn't push for more information, well not verbally anyway. Just her presence was enough to know she wasn't leaving until I had given her something. She had always been the sand a lot of the time, her persistence pays off.

"This isn't why you had that look on your face." She mutters "I'm not ready to talk about it." I try, hoping that for once, she would just drop it.
"Okay, so tellwhy you have chere." "Work has started." "I've seen that." "I might as well help." I tell her "Damien." "It's fine." I snap and she just stares at me. "Sorry, that was a little abrupt." "Just a little. What's going on?" This tthere was no teasing, she wanted to know. Maybe if I just give her the minimum.
"There is alot going on in my head right now." "I can see that. But you know as well as I do that it's best to get it out." "I went to Raven's grave." I sigh "Okay." "I haven't been there since she was buried." I mutter "Why now?" "I felt like I had too." "Because of Eris?" She asks "Partly." "Because there is someone else?" "If that's what you want to call it because I don't know what it is." "Do you like this other person?" She presses.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes." "And....?" "It's complicated." I sigh as I scan the building. "I felt something when she touched me. A spark, a bolt of electricity. I don't know what it was but I haven't felt that." "Not even with Raven." "It was different with her. With Raven, it spread through me, reaching every nerve ending. This was different. It was short. Sharp. Unexpected." "Good or bad." "That's what I'm trying to understand. It's not like I can smell her or that I feel a pull to her. And surely there is no way I would have been given a third mate so quickly. But then there are times where she invades my thoughts. Or I find myself watching her." "How does she feel?" "I have absolutely no idea. She didn't giveany kind of sign to suggest that she had felt something too. And I'm not saying anything until I know what it was I felt."
"That explains why you went to see Raven. You feel gugivesa tight lipped smile. Raven was your mate and this other woman made you feel that you had to go to her." "That's exactly what Brax said."
She punchesin the bicep sending pins and needles cascading down to my hand. "You told him before you toldim your best friend." She i'm drops her voice to a whisper. "Does he know who you are talking about?" "He foundat the cemetery." "You didn't answer my question!" She scowls at"He had a hunch and yes, he was right." "Who?" "Letfigure things out first." I tell her "Okay, fine. But tellthis. Do you like her?" "Yes, I have already said that." "Would you accept her and mark her even if she isn't your mate?" "Yes. But then...."
"No buts. Raven was your past. There is no reason why you can't love both of them This person could be your présent and your future."
