How the hell did this happen?! How the hell could this happen?! All his life, he had been told that one could only have one breedmate, and he had already had his. She had been tragically taken away from him, and he had been forced to live with that painful truth.
But now… now, it all felt like a cruel joke.
Dear goodness! Marina... He remembered the way she had made him feel, how she had once consumed his every thought, how she had been the center of his world. But now? Now, it was like there was a gaping emptiness where she used to be. She would always be special to him, a part of his past he would never forget. But she no longer had that hold over him.
She no longer occupied his thoughts during the day or filled his dreams at night.
