(Amaia)
I never knew that Mintaka didn't know Kacir and Rahria were mates. I thought he knew and still slept with her.
The mate bond was once revered above anything, but now people just sleep around because not everyone finds their mates. So it's not considered an offence anymore.
Now I feel slightly guilty for speaking to him that way the other day. Alnitak was right when he said, there was more to the story.
Kacir hesitates but slowly nods his head at Mintaka. "I will try for the sake of our guild."
Mintaka gulps, his jaw remains hardened with guilt as he stares at Kacir with pleading eyes.
"I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but just talk to me sometimes. That's all I want," he pleads again, his elbows resting on his thighs, digging into them.
Kacir gives another small nod. I can understand how difficult it is for him but at least we are steering past the hurt that had been caused.
