Chapter 30. A Broken Bond

Selena scoffed, running her hand through her hair and closing her eyes for a few seconds before opening them. “Is it so wrong that I was honest with you? Did you want me to lie? Did you want me to pretend that I loved you and use you for your money and influence?”

Elijah shrugged. “I’m not saying that. All I’m saying is that if you knew you didn’t love me, you should have stayed the hell away from me. You should have rejected the bond between us when I had approached you. I literally married you and took you in as my mate, Selena!”

“Don’t yell at me,” She replied without missing a beat. “And I’m sorry, okay? I am. But can you blame me? I’m an omega, meeting you changed my life. I have a sister who’s always gravely sick, my mom works two jobs and even at that, it’s not enough. You were my lifesaver. You saved my family. You saved me.”

He smiled sadly. “I saved you but you couldn’t do one thing. One little thing. You couldn’t love me. I didn’t even have sex with you.
