Chapter 70 : Never Thought I’d See You Again

*Soren*

How I wish you could feel the mate bond.

That’s what I wanted to say to Mila but I couldn’t finish and I couldn’t say it loud enough for her to hear. The words stuck in my throat and I pulled away from her when she asked for clarification.

I hadn’t understood why I’d been drawn to Mila from the beginning. There had been no mate feeling when we first met but it had been more than curiosity that drew me to her. The more time went by, that pull got stronger.

Just a whiff of her scent had me practically drooling.

And I was starting to sense more things about her. Her moods, sometimes even her thoughts. I’d always felt like I could interpret her better than others but I didn’t know it was from the mate bond.

I still only had theories about why I was only feeling it now and why it just kept getting stronger. I suspected it was the Blackfire poison that still stifled her feelings and kept the bond from being fully formed between us.

Then there was the matter of her grief.

She was so consumed by sadness and her past that if I said anything about the mate bond it would just confuse her more. She’d probably just get upset.

“Let’s get out of here,” I said motioning toward the door.

Mila nodded and exited the cabin. I followed close behind her.

“What do you say about visiting your old home?” I asked, motioning to the nearby hill where the packhouse used to sit.

“It isn’t even there anymore,” she protested, shaking her head.

“You never know what memories it’ll stir up,” I suggested. I held a hand out to her.

Mila eyed my offered hand suspiciously for a moment. Then she took it.

“I suppose it is worth checking out,” she admitted.

We hiked to the top of the hill. From there, I could see all the destroyed homes and buildings from the village and the outline of streets that still remained. From a higher vantage point, it was clear to see how much damage had been done.

“I think this is supposed to be the mansion,” Mila said, drawing my attention back to a patch of thick weeds.

“I can see the outline of the foundation,” I confirmed, pointing it out to her. It had been overgrown with grass and weeds but there was still a firm line for the foundation.

“There’s really nothing left,” Mila muttered to herself.

She didn’t seem angry or as sad as she was when we were in the cabin. I had a feeling it was harder for her to see something that remained from her childhood rather than seeing something that had been damaged.

I could sense she was upset, though, and disappointed.
