Hellion

He stepped closer, looming, his voice dropping to a growl. "I'm not here to beg for your forgiveness. I don't need it. I know I can't fix what I did. I know I can't erase the past. But I want to move forward. I want-" His voice broke, and something dangerous flashed in his eyes. "I want you."

The mate bond surged, filling the space between us with heat. I hated how much I wanted to believe him, to let myself lean into that warmth. I hated that he could make me feel safe and unsafe in the same breath.

I shook my head, my anger rising to meet his. "You don't know what you want. You think the bond means something, but it doesn't. Not to me." The lie tasted bitter. I wanted him to hurt. I wanted him to feel the same confusion and pain that I did.

His eyes flashed, hard and cold. "It doesn't mean anything to me either," he snapped, voice suddenly sharp and cutting. "It's just a bond. Biology. I can ignore it, if you can."

The words hit me like a slap. I felt my breath catch. "You're a liar!" I shouted, voice shaking.
