Because the thought of him in pain makes my heart crack like brittle glass. I don’t know if it’s because of the mate bond or because I do genuinely care about him, but I simply can’t bear the thought of him enduring that kind of blinding agony. My heart aches and my entire chest feels like it’s filled with a tangled nest of emotions that don’t fit together. I care about Draven, but I don’t know if those feelings are real or if it’s just a side effect of the mate bond. And regardless of which it is, I’m not supposed to care about him at all. Because he’s the enemy.
