Leland walked mindlessly toward his chamber, far away from Sophie's. He felt a mix of emotions at the same time fill his chest. Relieved because he had successfully established the mate bond with Sophie.
Sad because he could tell she dreaded the experience and felt uncomfortable around him after they did the deed.
Sadder because they did it when she was already pregnant. So, even though he came inside her, he couldn't even hope for a possibility that she would become pregnant with his child.
Before he reached his door, Leland's steps were halted. He saw snow fall slowly from the sky. The moonlight illuminate each and every single snowflake that caught his eyes. It looked really beautiful.
For a moment, he stood still, watching the snow. Suddenly, his heart was no longer feeling upset. He always loved snow because the falling snow actually reminded him of warmth.
