Forcing a smile, I rush out, “I’m fine.”
Judging by the look on his face, I’d say he knows I’m not.
Dammit!
“Let’s retire back to your chamber to rest,” Blane offers.
My shoulders slump. “I don’t want to pretend things are fine. I know you would have chosen differently if you could have.”
“Then you know very little about me. Good thing there will be plenty of time for us to get better acquainted.”
I snicker, downcasting my eyes so he can’t see my humiliation.
Too bad he’ll still feel it.
As terrified as I was by it, I’d always looked forward to my tethering. Now, it’s a curse.
“Come on,” he extends his hand out to me. “Let me take you to your quarters.”
“Don’t you want to spend time with her before we go?” I nod over to my once-best friend.
His lips form a thin line. “I think it would be best if we left.”
I try to search his mood, but I’ve never been tethered to someone, and my emotions are so strong, they cloud his.
Annoyed, I say, “Why? Do you hate the thought of her being paired with someone else? Will it hurt you too much to stay?”
A mischievous glint lights his emerald eyes that suggests anything but disappointment. “No, I’m just really excited that I’ll finally get to lick your pussy.”
My face scrunches in confusion. “Huh?”
He bends to whisper into my ear, his earthy scent invading my nostrils. “That place between your thighs. It’s mine now, and I’m going to spend all night eating it.”

NADINE
What did he just say?
What does it even mean?
My heart races in my chest as my mind explores the various possibilities of his words.
“Come with me, Nadine. You’re my magi now, and I long to take care of you.”
I don’t resist as he pulls me from the room, up stairs, down long corridors, until we’re standing in front of the entrance to my dorm.
Is it possible I misheard him?
I must have. What he said was nonsensical.
Entering my room feels different, and I can only guess it’s because I’ve never been allowed to have a man in my quarters before.
But now that I’m bonded with Blane, there is no choice in the matter, for if we were to ever stray too far from one another, the pain we’d feel would be excruciating.
“Do you need to get anything?” I ask.
Blane casually removes his tunic, allowing me to see his broad chest and rippled abs.
