Chapter 124 Grounded Me

• Michael continued his explanation, his voice softening slightly as if trying to ease the blow of his words. "When someone is involved in two relationships, theoretically, they can draw strength from both. But your situation is a bit different."
• He paused, his eyes filled with a rare moment of sympathy. "Your bond with Robert was damaged by his betrayal even before he marked his chosen mate. That’s why you experienced so much pain. When he did finally mark her, your wolf was torn apart by the agony of a bond that hadn’t been fully dissolved. The bond with his new mate gave him a new source of strength, and because they have a strong emotional foundation, it amplified his power while doubling the damage inflicted on you."
• I already knew what Michael was telling me. It was this very reason that fueled my hatred for Robert. It was so unfair—Robert had betrayed me, yet he seemed to escape any real consequences for his actions.
