Chapter 17 Mate Bond

• Declan's Point of View
• Even though I knew what she was when I walked in and saw her on the ground, I couldn't help but be drawn to her. The enigmatic mate bond had other ideas. I'm supposed to despise her, yet the relationship prevents me from doing so. Only the want for her. Through the bond, her shock, surprise, comprehension, and lust all surged into me.
• Every emotion she was feeling poured into me. Her desires become my desires. I could sense her determination as she advanced toward me. She only needed to be close enough to touch me. Tyler was pushing me to give in to her, which irritated me and distracted me enough to understand my reason for being here wasn't to snuggle up with some bloody Hybrid. Before she made contact, I grabbed her wrists.
