Chapter 20

• Marcus POV
• When I decided to confess to Roberta, I underestimated the power and importance of the mate bond. This action made the connection between us even slimmer. I felt an unprecedented weakness and pain, as if a part of my soul was torn apart.
• One not long night, I was walking alone in the forest, my heart filled with contradictions and pain. Suddenly, a strong dizziness hit me. I felt my strength rapidly draining away, and my consciousness gradually blurred. Finally, I fainted to the ground.
