"What?" Micah let out. It is a breath of disbelief more than a question. "No. It can't be. And don't you dare! Don't say you love me when you don't even know the virtue of love!"
She tries to pry away her wrist from Erin's deadly grip, her words ringing inside her head in a horror symphony.
Magic? Erin uses magic to save her? Severo isn't her mate? No. She cannot believe that. Even the ghost of his breath on Micah's skin made her see stars. If he wasn't her mate then what was it all that she felt? There was a connection with him that she felt all the way down to her bones.
Even his heartbeat was bound to her own
"Oh, my sweet, I love you. I love you so much and why do you think I'm here? I almost died on my way here. I thought I was caught by those soldiers outside. If it wasn't for my magic and my love for you, I wouldn't be here." Erin whispers to Micah's face, her words trickling with a sweetness that makes her stomach churn.
