"I am not going to hurt you," said Dominic. His eyes were still staring at her as if he were trying to peel the layers off bit by bit.
"So said the murderers to their victim before they killed them," remarked Inez. Her eyes flickered left and right, and just as she expected, there was not a single soul around. Dominic must have noticed it too; if not, he wouldn't have come chasing after her. She couldn't understand what this man was even trying to do.
Back then, when their wolves sensed that they were mates, Dominic had rejected her. Quite brutally at that, without even giving her a chance to survive the breaking of the mating bond. Even when she had begged and pleaded, the man hadn't even glanced at her, letting her suffer through the pain of losing her mate. Now that she had given up and moved past everything that he had made her go through, he was still holding onto the remnants of the mating bond.
It was weirdly creepy.
