Chapter 66 Lachlan

• I saw Seren frowning at me. Confusion written all over her delicate features. I mean the fact she was saying there was nothing else to stay for instead of offering herself to me like she had been doing previously implied she had figured out last night was better as a one off, right? We had both allowed ourselves to experience the matebond. The connection it brought us. Yes, that had been fucking mindblowing, of that I can't even lie. I had experienced nothing like that before. And I had a feeling I likely never would again. But, I know the feelings I held toward Seren, the resentment, the hatred, would mean a relationship would simply not work. Not in the real world. Matebond or not. She may be young, but she had to know that right? She hated me too, I was sure of that.
• “You decided we made a mistake?” I said calmly, hoping she would take this okay. I mean she had been relatively calm so far. She had been amazing last night, and I did not want to spoil that. I wanted that memory to live on within my mind. Hers too if she so wished. It had been incredible. The matebond truly brought a different level to it. And, despite the complications, I can't even say I regret it. Maybe calling it a mistake was the wrong choice of words. I looked to Seren, hoping she understood what I meant, but as my words seemed to sink in, something shifted in her eyes. A coolness appeared. An aura of icyness, before she simply slid herself from the stool on which she sat and walked away without so much as a second glance in my direction.
• No response to my question. And not willing to look at me. The coldness in her attitude too told me that it was likely she did not see it quite the same way I did. I sighed. Women... so much more hassle than they are worth, I thought to myself with a roll of my eyes.
