mate or love?
He met my gaze, his expression unreadable.
In that moment, I realized the truth—I was in love with him. I had spent two months denying it, wanting to hate him, but I couldn’t. I didn’t have the strength to keep denying what I felt.
And now, I was too weak to think about anything else.
“I don’t fully understand what love is, but I do know one thing,” he said, his voice steady yet filled with raw emotion. “I can’t stand the thought of you with anyone else. You’re such an important part of my life. Violet has everything, but she doesn’t make my heart race the way you do. If I ever see someone with you, I swear, I’d tear them apart. And that’s never happened to me before.”
