“She is mine, my mate” | say, knowing well how stupid that sounded and already knowing what Axel would say
next.
“You did send her away, | hate to break it to you, but she doesn’t belong to you anymore, she is betrothed to
another” he remindsand | hated that reminder.
If only he understood that | couldn’t imagine Riley with any other person, it took everything into sit here and
