She’s not mine, and she never will be. Thane’s scent was a harsh reminder of that.
I had hoped that Sophia’s presence would at least put a little distance between them, but it only seemed to make the bond’s possessiveness flare to life.
She was burning up with jealousy every time Sophia laid a hand on him.
I know, because that’s exactly how I feel when Thane touches her.
Nothing I feel will ever erase the fact that they are forever bound to one another.
It doesn’t matter that my cold heart warms when she smiles or that I have this unrelenting desire to do everything I can to make her happy.
The only thing I’ll ever be to her is Thane’s brother and maybe a friend if she allows it.
Any hope of being anything more is just a pathetic dream that has no place living inside my head.
