Chapter 15

The betrayal on Michi's face haunted Damon. He couldn't help reliving it over and over as she was taken away from him.

It should have been a happy moment. They'd not wanted to be wed. Never wanted a forever together. Yet, something had happened to them. A bond had formed. He'd initially blamed it on the mark. Blamed it for how he felt.

However, he was no longer legally bound to Michonne. He was a free and single man. Then why the hell did he miss her so much? Why did he keep wishing he'd done something different? Done something, period.

What could he have done, though? Start a war with her father?

I could have said something about how I felt. Except he didn't truly understand his emotions until she left.

I love her. Loved her and lost her. And soon, if her father had his way, she'd be married off to someone suitable and forget all about him.
