Leo and Aiden are quiet as I talk. I explain everything from breaking the bond against Tristan's wishes. To speaking with Selena, my father and my ability to choose my mate.
Leo is quiet as Aiden looks anxious. "You want to find him" Aiden says sadly.
I kick myself for not thinking of this earlier. Aiden feels threatened. A new father, a replacement of everything we have.
"You'll always be my dad Aiden, no one can ever change that" I smile. Moving to take his hand. Aiden smiles, relief on his face but still sadness in his eyes.
"I don't know of a Shayne Wardolf but there are not many royals left, we should be able track him down" I smile, "Thank you Aiden, I can do it alone if you don't want to" I reassure him. Aiden shakes his head "I'm in the whole way, I need to make sure his good enough" he says winking.
I look to Leo who is still silent. Looking at nothing, his mind clearly racing. He is probably thinking about her. His mate he can't find until I decide. Aiden looks to Leo then back to me. He reads my mind as he always does and nods. Leaving the room.
Leo doesn't even notice the door close. His flinches as I touch his arm. "I'm sorry Leo, I can try find a way to break this" I say sadly.
I hate that I'm hurting him. Keeping him from his mate. His eyes grow sadder as he looks down to meet my gaze. "You don't want me?" He asks, his voice broken.
Shocked I shake my head, "I didn't say that, but this isn't fair to you Leo. I'm not sure I could break the bond to Nate the way I did Tristan. It took a lot out of me and I still don't even know how I did it"
Even then, I feel like I'd be stealing him from his true mate. Who knows who it could be. It could be someone more suited to him. Someone who wasn't torn between him and another.
"Leo, you have someone out there. You guys can't find each other until I make a choice and that isn't fair to you, I don't want to hurt you" a tear escapes my eye.
I barely know Leo. A few weeks ago, we didn't even talk. Hell a few days ago I didn't even like him. But the thought of hurting him now breaks my heart. He had been here for me. This short time had made me care for him. I don't know how and I'm just not sure in what way.
Leo takes my hand and the tingles spread. "I have always wanted you Armina, but you weren't mine. I had begged the moon goddess that you'd by my mate on my 18th birthday. A reason to break the barrier between us and speak to you. My father had always told me to respect Aiden. To keep you out of the spotlight. To keep you safe. But I always watched you. Saw how strong. How smart. How pure you are" his other hand reaches for my face.
"My father always suspected Aiden was hiding how much he cared. He knew he was scared to care again. He told me to respect that but Armina, the thought that you could be mine" his face moves closer to mine. "There is no one else that could ever compare to you" he smiles. My body shaking at how close he is.
It feels right and wrong at the same time. I couldn't do this. Could I?
The thoughts leave completely as Leo's lips meet mine. My mind blanks as his lips set off fireworks in my body. I find myself kissing him back with everything I have.
His hands run down my body, his hands cupping my ass as I moan into his mouth.
My body takes over, my mind having no control. I wrap my arms around his neck as his mouth moves against mine. He lifts me onto the bed, my legs straddling him. He pushes himself against me, his hardness pushing against the most sensitive part of me. A part no one has ever touched.
I feel my body heating. Everything in me wants more. I moan against his lips as I feel his growl. He takes my lip into his mouth; biting gently as I feel myself dampen.
A loud bang on the door brings me back to reality as we separate. The door opens to a sad looking Nate. I try to straighten myself up, then remember there is no point. He would have heard everything. He would smell Leo all over me. He also would have felt it. Felt his mate being unfaithful. I am a horrible person.
Guilt courses through me as Leo growls. "Leave" he demands. Tristan's eyes darken before he shakes his head and straightens himself out.
"Armina, we need to talk" he states.
