“Technically you can break a mate bond, but we want you Lana, that won’t ever change” Drake says.
I sit up and I feel unease hit me through the bond from Tate.
“Why would you tell her that?” Tate snaps at him.
“What was I supposed to lie to her” Drake retorts. Tate says nothing but what he said makes no sense you can’t break a mate bond.
“I don’t understand, that’s not possible. You can’t break a mate bond”
Tate sighs loudly, clearly annoyed with Drake.
“You can, it’s hard to do and you need a witch. Drake's father broke his mate bond to his mother” Tate answers and I hear Drake growl.
“But why?” I ask, looking over at Drake who was staring at the ceiling.
“My mother killed herself, when a mate dies the bond sends the other one crazy or they die too, my father saw a witch who helped break the curse so he wouldn’t be driven crazy and do the same” He states.
“But the woman in the picture”
“At my fathers?” Drake asks, I nod.
“That’s his second chance mate, Chase’s mother. I have three half-brothers” He tells me.
“I am shocked honestly, I didn’t think you could break a mate bond”
“It’s taboo that’s why, she only broke it because my father was dying, and he had me to look after. I doubt she would do it for anyone just looking to break a mate bond” Drake answers.
“So, you know her?” I ask, and he nods, eyeing me suspiciously.
“I don’t want to break our bond Drake, I just thought you two wouldn’t want to be mated to someone like me” He nods, but I could feel Tate was getting angrier about this line of conversation.
“Yes, I know her” Drake answers and Tate growls low in the back of his throat. Making me look at him.
“I went to see her and asked her to break our bond, she refused even after my father offered to pay her” Drake admits. He tried to break their bond? The thought sickened me.
“Why?”
“Because my father wouldn’t let me take over the pack if I were mated to another man, not that it matters now. Nor do I care, I rather be with you pair now. I see how foolish that was” Drake says, shocking not only me but Tate who’s head whips to the side looking at him.
“Hey don’t get any ideas Tate, let me get used to the idea of being with you first or I may just go beg Avery to break it” He chuckles, and Tate nudges him.
“Avery?” I ask.
“The witch who broke my fathers bond, she lives in Avalon city” I nod in understanding.
“Well, I am glad she wouldn’t break your bond” I tell them. Drake nods and I sit up.
“Where are you going?” Tate asks, watching me.
“To cook breakfast” I tell him about to hop out of the bed when he wraps his arms around my waist dragging me back.
“I could always eat you for breakfast” He purrs climbing on top of me and between my legs. My face turning scarlet at his words as I push on his shoulders.
“Don’t act so innocent, we seen what’s in your handbag” Drake says, raising an eyebrow and Tate chuckles.
“What you went through my bag?” I ask worried about what they may have found in it.
“Yes, and you have a few things to explain, Tate and I have realised we barely know you. Going through your bag raised more questions though, like why are you on anti-depressants?” Drake asks. I say nothing shocked they went through my stuff but also embarrassed.
