Maybe if she knew how hard it was for him to bite down the urge to just sink his teeth into her pale skin awaiting to be marked, she wouldn't be tempting him as she did.
But in a way, she has helped him realize that she isn't the one for him. How she doesn't want him as her mate. And how she has looked down on him.
Severo never wanted to be like what he was now. But he is not gonna change the things she has written about him in the lines of her mind either. He won't change a thing. He won't justify his side and let her look through the real Severo. Because he knew he didn't deserve anyone long before. He doesn't wish to be a burden to anyone.
Severo doesn't want her to be confused by pity as love when she chooses him as her mate.
And he can't spend his rut with her, he doesn't think he can do that. It's not because she isn't heavenly enough to swab away all of his traumas. It is the thought of using her that hunts him down.
