Chapter 29

• Liam hadn't set eyes on Nicole in days, but he could sense her pain. His plan to make her see him as the beast he had seemed to backfire because, even though she now regarded him with disgust and terror, he felt the bond developing between them.
• He didn't see her. He only sensed her, and it made his heart ache. He knew when she was happy and unhappy, recently she had been very sad. He felt her trying and struggling to pull away from the power of the mark.
• It should have made him happy, but it didn't. Instead, it distracted him. The witch had been unusually silent, and instead of him concentrating on trying to figure out her game plan, all he wanted to do was dwell on what Nicole was feeling.
