He dropped his folded hands after that as he spoke again. “Come here.”
My heart flew into my throat as I blinked at him in utter shock. “Huh?”
“Come here so I can sever the bond between us.” He revealed and my eyes widened in confusion as I slowly moved towards him again.
A bond? What is he talking about?
Once I was in front of him, his hand landed on my clothed shoulder and I shivered while blinking up at him, noticing his eyes zeroed in on my throat– which was presently covered by the turtleneck top I had on.
“Take your shirt off.” He ordered and my mouth opened and closed as shock slammed my ribs.
“W- what?” I cried out weakly, my heart pounding hard against my chest and my legs growing weak again while my stomach tightly clenched.
His lips were pursed when his eyes met my eyes, then he dropped his hand off my shoulder and spoke, while breathing through his nose.
“Take the shirt off, I need to sever the bond.” He repeated but I still understand what he meant.
He seemed to understand after a few seconds before his nose flared as he breathed, then his jaw clenched tightly for a bit.
“That mark on your throat which I left that night…” His voice was a little strained as he spoke and at the mention of that night, I felt my insides twist darkly with heat just as he continued.
“It created a bond between us, one which you couldn’t feel cause you’re human. It was a mistake a very big inconvenience so I have to destroy the bond,” he explained, voice hardening this time and my eyes widened as my mind wrapped around what he just explained.
“So, take the shirt off,” he finished and my heart jumped hard against my ribs, my face flushing in embarrassment because I was in only a bra underneath this shirt. I wanted to ask that I go wear something else over the bra but I had a feeling he wouldn’t want me to waste his time, and besides, with how he clearly hates me, I doubt he’d even glance at my body at all. With that thought in my mind, I swallowed emptily while stiffly nodding, then I gripped the hem of my shirt and pulled it off.
After I pulled the shirt off, the sound of a sharp inhale filled the air, a sound which made me stiffen, then on glancing up at Zoren’s face, I realized with a start that his eyes were pinned on my chest. I followed his gaze then my face flushed with so much heat. I had completely forgotten that the bra I had on underneath was the one which had half my breasts spilling out. I was never this busty but after I birthed Kai, my breast size tripled and never returned back to normal.
My face was burning when Zoren’s eyes met mine again. My mouth was dry and my throat felt tight. My heart was pounding so hard, I feared that he could hear it now.
He cleared his throat once, then a stutter came over his face just as he spoke. “Let’s get this over with.” After that, he placed a hand on my bare shoulder this time, and I barely manage to stifle the gasp that flew up my throat from how a spark shot through me from that contact. His other hand settled on the other side of my throat, which he used in tugging my head sideways, which left the marked spot exposed to his intense gaze. I trembled and my stomach clenched tightly as I felt his hot breath fan against the exposed curve of my throat, biting back a stupid whimper, and struggling to not let my eyes flutter. Why was I feeling so hot on the inside right now? Was it because of fear? Or something else?
I felt his teeth graze over that spot and a small sound managed to slip through my lips, then I bit hard on my bottom lip right before his teeth tore through that mark. Everything stilled within me, then a searing pain tore through me at once, so painful that I struggled to breathe for a few seconds.
A scream built in my throat but before it got out, Zoren’s hand clamped over my mouth, like he could perfectly

read me. The scream was completely muffled and I felt tears brimming in my eyes from how much it hurt, and after he pulled his teeth out, with a start, I realized that most of the pain I was feeling wasn’t from his teeth but from something in my chest. My chest felt hollow and empty, like a hole which was gaping was now there and it hurt so damn much, making me feel a little lightheaded. His fangs dripped with blood when I glanced up at him and I gasped at how terrifying he looked right now, his fangs looking so damn large scary compared to Kai’s tiny ones.
His thumb brushed over the bitten spot on my throat and I gasped as pain and so much tingles shot through my insides at once. “The bleeding has stopped.” He declared, his voice hoarse before he dropped his hand and stepped back, swiping a hand over the drops of blood on his chin. His eyes were intent as they focused on my face again, and I winced from the pain still sitting heavily in my chest.
“Is this how it was supposed to feel?” I asked while massaging my chest with my hand with my uninjured hand to relieve the pain. It didn’t help at all. His gaze followed my movements and settled on my chest and I flushed on remembering that I was still shirtless.
He looked away almost immediately. “Pain? Yes, but it would be gone in a bit.”
After that, he glanced over the bed at Kai who was still fast asleep, then he headed for the door and left without a backward glance.
As the door closed after him, it felt like he left with a huge part of me, which felt that hollow feeling behind in my chest.
