[Elara's POV]
"No, that's not possible..." I said in response, almost instantly, as I watched the sudden shift in him.
"What did you say?" he said, his brows drawing together. A displeasure I could sense flickering on his face, as though a storm was gathering.
The tone he left almost caused my pulse to shoot out for that second.
But what could I have said? He was adamant about this again. He wasn't—he should have just accepted it as I had said. I mean, how could he think he was my mate after I had told him I already had one?
He didn't give me a response, though; the silence he had left only caused my gaze to flee from his sight, knowing little about him and how dangerous he was.
I couldn't also deny the dominating presence he had suddenly left when I said those words. I tried almost softening my voice this time.
