Henry It took me a long time to fall asleep last night. The idea of someone forcing any woman into a mate bond is abhorrent to me. The idea of someone trying to force MY mate into a mate bond, made me feel fury unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. When I finally did fall asleep, it was with Piper wrapped tightly in my arms, my body curled around hers possessively. If I get my hands on Peter, he will die. If I find out that Patrick had anything at all to do with Piper getting sold to Peter, he will die too. In the morning, I slide inside my mate again. I know I won’t see her for a couple of days, but I also need to make sure she smells as much like me as possible. I want my scent on her to be strong enough that it’s like a warning sign, flashing my intention to kill any man who thinks
