Chapter 39

"Why are we doing this in my room, again?" Carly asks opening the door and allowing her teammates in. 

"Raol." Eros responds, shaking his head at the grinning werewolf. 

"Not my fault.  It's not every day you meet a witch that freaky." Raol shrugs and plops down on a couch.

"Ugh. Nobody told you to offer your room to two lesbians to have sex. Because of you, the whole dorm smell like sex. " Jade grumbles under his breath as he maneuvers between the couch, avoiding Carly's like a plague. Behind him, Kaiden sighs, deep in thought. 

"Earth to Kaiden," Carly calls out, catching his attention. "Where is your usual extension?"

"Thinking." Kaiden leans his forehead against the window, looking at the calm scenery underneath.

"How terrifying. Did she tell you anything? The situation was pretty morbid." Jade shivers and moves closer to Eros. 

"She was acting a little off. She told me that he took something of hers and she returned the favor." Kaiden's frown tightens as he recalls her blank expression. 

"By tearing his heart out? That's not a little off. What did he take for her to do something that gruesome?" Jade ponder, nibbling on his bottom lip.

Carly sits up and looks around. "Isn't that her usual self?"

Kaiden shakes his head. "No. She isn't usually that extreme." He looks pointedly at Carly and she lowers her eyes. "I've been thinking about the other things she said."

"Like what?" Raol asks.

"The butterflies were missing." Kaiden's brows furrows. "It was after she kissed me. I can only infer that she didn't feel anything." 

"Could it be that the thing that it took was her feelings?" Eros asks quietly. His gaze flickers from the ground and Kaiden.

A tense silence follows as Kaiden tries to control his rising fury. He ruminates over Mora's words trying to find anything. Mora's blank face appears in Kaiden's mind, reaffirming his theory. It was possible. 

"Not all of them," Carly starts scrunching up her face. "She looked like she was enjoying tearing him apart. "

Kaiden frowns and glares at Carly. "Watch your words. " He enunciates in a cold tone. 

"Don't get me wrong. Mora has more control now, but she didn't at the beginning. She didn't give a flying fuck about the rest of us and only changed because of you. If her feelings for you are gone, we're fucked." Carly shrugs and replies brightly. "Absolutely fucked." 

"Our mate bond is still intact." Kaiden reassures himself and struggles to tamper his panic down. He jumps to his feet and starts pacing the room. He was worried about her. Her expression was not right.

"The mate bond doesn't mean shit these days. If her feelings are gone and the mate pull is removed, the bond is useless. It's just a meaningless piece of string of fate that ties you both together." Carly's voice hardens and her eyelids lower hiding her fierce gaze.  

"When did you turn into a bond hater? I thought you were a fan, with the way you used to follow Kaiden around. What was it you use to call him?" Raol teased and his eyes twinkle. "Kaibear~"

Carly cringes and pretends to throw up. "Fuck. Don't remind me. That was a different me. I've abandoned plan A since it didn't work and choose plan B." 

"Killing Mora and me?" Kaiden scoffs and Carly face reddens. The group stares at the two in confusion, but they didn't elaborate.

"Anyway, the mate bond is not trustworthy." Carly sputters, trying to hide her red face.
