Chapter 15 If Only
- Kael’s POV
- It took a lot to calm Ayla down.
- Not because she was louder than usual, though the screaming didn’t help, but because every time she looked at me, the mate bond tightened around my ribs like a steel band begging to be obeyed. It wanted me to promise things I had no right to promise. It wanted me to make her feel safe when I wasn’t even sure I knew what safety looked like anymore.
