Chapter 75

Lycus's pov
I'd always thought that I was the hard-hearted unbreakable king. That the fortress I had built around my heart after my fake mate to prevent myself from getting hurt again was strong enough. I never thought myself capable of pitiable emotions more than what Nyx had made me feel ever since she stepped into my life but now, I felt different. I knew better.
With Nyx, I had felt everything, the hate knowing whom she was, the acceptance and anger knowing that I couldn't easily get rid of her, the lust when I tried fighting the mate bond, the likeness seeing that there was more than just lust, the pain each time I was on the verge of losing her, the jealousy seeing her with Andros or any other male, the love when I got to know more of my beautiful mate and then the fear knowing that her life was In danger and she could be snatched from me at any moment, it was the fear that kept me from telling her the state of things and letting her know that she was facing hazard. I didn't want her to feel more afraid than she already did. But now, I felt misery, never did I think of this night turning out like this. I had hurt Nyx several times but never had she ever thought of rejecting me or pronounced rejection. I didn't expect this night to be any different but it was different. I had hurt her and she had had enough.
