Chapter 115: History
There was so much, too much, when it came to them and their history.
Mya knew what would happen when she gave him her blood. She knew it would trigger the mate bond, and she did not regret a moment of their time in that cave, but once everything had ended and the sweat on her skin began to cool, reality hit her. He was there. Erik was back. Every time she opened her eyes, he was in front of her. It wasn't a dream, or a memory, or a nightmare where he would suddenly disappear into the darkness again. No matter how many times she blinked or breathed, his form never changed. He was flesh and bone, and actually real for the first time in three hundred years. The emotions it made her feel were too heavy for her to carry, especially now when she was trying to get him to safety.
