Mate's Love
Damn this mate bond.
"I'm done with you," I snapped, my eyes blazing. "I don't need you, James."
"Emily, I'm about to become Alpha," he said, waiting for me to relent. "Being my mistress is your best choice. Your mother's life is at stake."
He turned to leave, adding, "You'll come around. Your mother can't wait."
"I don't need it!" I screamed after him, collapsing, tears streaming down my face.
Was there no escape? Would I watch my mother suffer?
