So, he’s my fated mate but he's under a curse placed by his ex-mate, The curse prevents him from forming new romantic connections, traps him in a cycle of emotional isolation that he can't break free from. Even if he wanted to be with me – which he clearly doesn't – the curse would make it impossible." "A curse that keeps him from love," Nathan mused. "That explains the pain I saw in his eyes when he looked at you tonight. He's fighting against something he can't control."

He pushed me back and wrapped his hand on my face, he squeezed my cheeks and lifted my face to stare back at him.
