Chapter 36: _Unruly Idiots
I watched Odessa shift away from me, her frown only deepening as she eyed me with disbelief.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" She sneered, glaring at me as if I’d gone mad.
Hmph... If anything, she’s the insane one here for thinking she could get rid of me so easily.
"You heard me, Odessa," I said, my tone plain as I raised my hands in a show of defeat. "And if you don’t believe me, ask yourself this question. If I’ve been in denial all this while about us being mates why didn’t I just go ahead and reject you if it were possible?"
She fluttered her eyelids, raising a finger in front of her face as she shook her head, still seeming like she couldn’t take my confession.
Sigh, poor thing...
"You’re bluffing. This has to be some sort of joke." She blurted, a stunned expression on her face.
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes as I finally stood up, staring into her eyes before I remarked. "Take my word for it. The only other way to break the mate bond would be for either me or you to die..."
As soon as I said those words, Odessa’s eyes shook with fear as she stared at me with dread.
I smirked coldly, tilting my head. "And we don’t want that now, do we?" I queried rhetorically.
She remained silent, left completely speechless.
