THE AWAKENING
Chapter-20-
Ouch. That hurt. But she forced a smile as if Cristophe’s statement hadn’t punctured her deep inside. “Well, that’s not very Prince Charming of him to not want to rescue the damsel in distress.”
“Yes, well, Jandin and Koris were quite vocal in their opposition of his slow to act position.”
She smiled warmly at the twins’ loyalty but even as they were hot as hell and built like semi trucks, she felt nothing more than brotherly affection for them, which was a tragedy because she had a feeling a life with those two would’ve been decidedly easier than one with the hard-hearted Alpha Tieran.
And yet…when she thought of Tieran, her palms began to sweat and little flutters heated up her insides, which told her she had a snowball’s chance in hell of forcing her heart to want anyone else.
Particularly now that she was growing his bambino in her belly.
And apparently, the little bundle growing beneath her heart, was one helluva binding force for them both.
There were times when Tieran simply couldn’t deny himself any longer and he would burst into her room, eyes blazing and muscles taut, and Cassandra knew he was going to fuck her raw. Just thinking about being with Tieran was enough to send her heart racing and her core to heat.
They were epic together. Until it was all over. Then, Tieran would retreat and leave her coldly behind.
That felt worse than if he’d just been a mechanical lover, going through the motions because he had to. Somehow feeling that raw passion for brief moments was so much more painful because she knew what she’d never have.
Ignorance was better.
“Do werewolves get more than one mate?” she asked, unable to help herself.
“The werewolves mate for life with one true mate.”
Cassandra swallowed, accepting Cristophe’s answer. Was she Tieran’s true mate or was Serra? To see how torn up he was over losing Serra, Cassandra would have to say that yes, Serra had been The One.
“Why do you ask?”
“Just wondered.”
“You fear Tieran isn’t your True Mate?” he asked, perplexed. “Have you not noticed how his gaze never leaves you?”
“Being possessive of your baby mama isn’t what love is made of. Clearly, you haven’t watched enough Law and Order.”
Cristophe chuckled with derision. “I see enough drama in my everyday to seek it out for pleasure.”
“Makes sense. When my life was nothing but college exams and crushing existential dread over where my life was going, I couldn’t get enough of murder and mayhem in my television show preferences. Now, I just want happy endings.”
