It never bothered me before, Cratos having a mate. His longing and lust for her would come through, but it felt entirely his own.

But then Anassa took Meryn.

Before, I could appreciate the ferocious glint in her hazel eyes from a distance. I could admire the swell of her hips while also keeping in mind that I fucking loathed her. It helped dull the aching attraction, reminding myself that my life was tied to hers and she was acting like an idiot.

That first day was torturous.

Cratos had no shield up. We crested the top of the summit, and the moment I saw Meryn standing next to Anassa, her hair turned that shining silver-white, something animalistic unleashed inside me.

I wanted to throw her over my shoulder and carry her back down the mountain myself.

No—I wanted to find a nearby cave and rip her clothes off with my teeth, teaching her how warm skin can keep you in the cold.

Cratos had to turn back around so I could throw myself into the snow, freezing out the pulsing, unreasonable desire that had taken over my every thought. It was painful, and it was a pain that could have no end.

She had a lover. She hated me. And I hated her, too—her undisciplined, chaotic lack of control drove me insane, even still. Cratos took sympathy on me and tossed up a wall on his mate connection to Anassa.

It’s stayed up. Her strongest emotions still burst through on occasion, but I’ve mostly kept my mind entirely my own.

Still, I carry the knowledge that this…feeling…is just a slim barrier away.

It’s helped that I’ve wanted to kill her half the time.
