“Comfort?” I repeated, incredulous. “You found comfort in my sister? While I was mourning our child? Wow.a”
“I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he said, his voice softer now, but I wasn’t buying it. Not anymore.
“You didn’t mean to hurt me, but you did. Over and over again.” My voice cracked, but I forced myself to stay strong. “And I’m done. I’m done waiting for you to realize how much you’ve destroyed. I’m leaving, Damon.”
He stared at me, his eyes narrowing as if he was finally starting to understand that I was serious. “You’re leaving… for good?”
I nodded, my throat tight. “I want you to reject the mate bond.”
Damon froze, his eyes widening. “What?”
“You heard me. I want you to reject me. Officially!"
His face paled. For the first time in a long while, I saw genuine fear in his eyes. “You can’t be serious.”
“I am,” I said, my voice firm. “I can’t be bound to someone who doesn’t love me. I can’t be tied to this pack, to this life, anymore.”
He shook his head, stepping closer to me. “Luna, no. We can fix this. I’ll make it right.”
“You can’t make this right, Damon,” my voice trembling. “Not after everything. I’ve given you chance after chance, and you’ve thrown them all away.”
