Chapter 25

• Helena couldn't understand why their relationship was so drastic. At one moment, they were so in love with each other, and the next—bickering and arguing like they were from different worlds. Well... they were. She wondered if they were one of these toxic couples. Mates that were star-crossed.
• Were they not meant to be? The first small obstacle (or not so small—Penelope and jealousy) and they were on the brink of breaking their hearts forever. The mate attraction made it even harder to bear. All the feelings—positive and negative—were times stronger than for ordinary couples. Especially when Helena was so sex-craved all the time and Keiran had marked her.
• And he didn't even know she was going through her phase. How could she tell him when they hadn't reached the next level even once? She didn't want him to feel pressured to sleep with her just because she was hit by something that rarely happened these days.
