Chapter 861\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daisy rolled her eyes at that last comment, and then she shook her head at the memory before her eyes landed on me again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a feeling she wasn\u2019t the true host,\u201d Daisy said, letting out a breath. \u201cAfter the second attempt\u2026 I kept thinking that it shouldn\u2019t be this hard. That the magic should want to be returned to its host. Magic grows attached to the host, just as the host gets attached to magic. So, for her attempts not to work the first couple of times, it was strange to me. But then every time you were around, it would glow and seem stronger. I put all the pieces together myself. I\u2019m surprised it took you as long.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you really want to talk like that to me right now?\u201d I asked, raising my brows at her. \u201cLet\u2019s back up for a second\u2026 why would you want to break your mate bond? I thought once you were marked, you were connected as if you were true mates.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not as strong as a true mate connection,\u201d she admitted. \u201cBut that\u2019s not the problem. The man I\u2019m mated to is a complete monster.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My mouth fell open.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA monster?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She let out a laugh, though it was humorless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know what it\u2019s like to be connected to someone who only thinks about themselves? We have a full bond, where I can feel and hear everything he feels and thinks. His thoughts are so loud that it\u2019s hard to block them out, and his feelings are so dark that they\u2019re all I can feel.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tears pooled in her dark blue eyes as she stared at me, and I was left dumbfounded. Had I been so wrong about Daisy Baldwin?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has this strange power or whatever where he can block my emotions so he doesn\u2019t have to feel my \u2018pointless \u2018feelings,\u201d she said, shaking her head as the tears started to fall from her eyes. It was clear this man had told her that her feelings and thoughts were pointless. \u201cHe also has this rare bloodline where he can take multiple women as mates at the same time. Every time he\u2019s intimate with another woman, it hurts like hell\u2026 but when he mates with another woman\u2026 I want to die. I sleep for days afterwards. The pain is so deep, I want to tear it out of me. I wouldn\u2019t wish that kind of punishment on my worst enemy\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My vision blurred, and I realized my eyes were filling with tears. My heart was broken for her, and I never thought I\u2019d ever feel bad for Daisy Baldwin. She\u2019s been nothing but a thorn in my side ever since I met her just before I worked for Gavin. She had been after Gavin for so long and had been deceitful the entire time\u2026 I had no idea if this was just another one of her games or if she was being serious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was frustrating not knowing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But at this moment, as Diasy wrapped her arms around herself even tighter and let out a sob, I realized just how broken and scared she truly was. She had been a prisoner in her own relationship\u2026 her own mating\u2026 and she didn\u2019t see any way out of the hell he put her in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe uses that type of pain and then some to get me to do what he wants,\u201d she said, letting out a breath. \u201cHis mating with another woman means that I wronged him in some way. So, he\u2019d mate someone else to make it right and punish me at the same time. Don\u2019t get me wrong, there had been good moments\u2026 plenty of them to\u00a0<\/p>\n

keep me from ending my life when things started to look bad. But the bad outweighed the good,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDaisy\u2026\u201d I whispered, shaking my head as a tear fell down my cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wiped at her tears almost angrily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the stuff he always had me do\u2026 it was between drug trafficking, prostitution to please his business partners, and spy work\u2026 I did a lot of spying on Gavin\u2019s territory because that was enemy lines. I was pretty enough and well-known, plus with my family connections, nobody would suspect me\u2026 I think that\u2019s why he chose me. When he asked me to steal the Moon Gem, he told me that he would finally move me into the manor, introduce me as his mate, and marry me. I thought things could be better and I won\u2019t have to live in fear and pain anymore\u2026 that he\u2019ll finally love me. But I was a fool.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou did steal the gem, though,\u201d I told her. \u201cAnd what manor?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She let out another breath, this one more exhausted than the last.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose you might as well know\u2026 the man who mated with me is Noah Blackwell. Or I guess you should know him as your brother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
