oh no. his fangs are out, his demon is ready... so he compels her to walk away. I hope she doesn't also forget this tender and hot moment they shared. Just tell her what you are, Rayven. Let her in. Tell her about the mating bond. Let her decide if she wants it or not. She obviously wants to make love to you. Let her decide if she wants more than that. Take her advice. Share your worries and your fears with her, let her be your one true counselor. She can help you heal.
Wow!!!! Forever yours Jasmine! This chapter was scorching fireā¦ But not only. So much pain, and tenderness involved. Thatās what gets my heart. āTo be his one true and lasting counselor and solaceā. Angelica is beginning to exercise her vows. With such tenderness and care. āYou are not alone anymore. I am here with you. You can talk to me, share with me more than your name and your home. Share with me your worries and fearsā. He cannot hide anymore. His scars are no longer an excuse. He canāt hide behind them to push her away because āthereās just no way she could possibly want himā. Now we are at the core. And the core is heās so brokenā¦ for what heās doneā¦ The scarsā¦ theyāve been a resort to keep everything away. An emotional regulation mechanism, a way to punish himself but also a way to distance himself from his guilt, since it was someone else doing it to him (supposedly anyway)ā¦Thereās no hiding anymore, things begin to show themselves bear, exactly for what they are. My heart breaks for you Rayvenā¦ I cannot say she isnāt too good for you because she is. But thatās not the point. The point isnāt either that all the pain youāve caused will be brushed away and be goneā¦the point is that it takes courage to live with what you have done and to accept love and happiness should they come. I think youāve suffered enough but I know you canāt see that so you need to look at it in a different way, a way that will actually make you better and make you growā¦ You need not to think of yourself. You need to think of her. If you donāt deserve itā¦ she sure does. Be it your punishment to be the one to give it her. Happiness, protection. Love. I am hopeful someone will be able to tell you that. Be it Skender, be it Acheron. I hope someone does. But it is going to take some time. I understand. And things are only going to get more difficult, impossible Iād say, you know that too, the beast in you knows now, this woman approves of being mated to him. You need to come cleanā¦ And as much as you want to die and are torn about this deserving or dyingā¦ you are also afraid of something elseā¦ you are afraid of telling her about Demosā¦ You are afraid of the look in her eyes.
WHAT. A. CHAPTER! š¤Æš³š¤Æššš We knew he wouldn't allow himself do go through with it. But this is great progress and it's enough really, for now. He needs to realise bit by bit that she wants him as much as he wants her, that she is there to stay, that she can hear his truth and still want him. He couldn't let his demon out now because she was willing and he would have marked her, without him telling her who and what he was first. He needs her willing AND aware. I can wait š...... Haha kidding, I CAN'T WAIIIIT! Say it all Rayven!!!
