Page 64 of Blood Bound (Blood Mafia 3)

Her appearance at Twisted Helix is the first time she’s surfaced in over two decades. Complicated doesn’t begin to describe what happened when I helped Nix kill Demi’s father and the other hunters.

I didn’t know she was his until I smelled and tasted her blood.

Is there ever a way to justify murder?

This is why I avoided taking a bond mate for so long. I’ve never been good at dealing with emotions, especially those from a female. It never seemed worth the trouble, until I found Demi.

The universe has a twisted sense of humor.

If karma existed, I’d say this is what I deserve for slaughtering hunters.

It doesn’t though. What happened between me and Demi is entirely my fault. I know now she might have listened had I tried to explain, or at the very least, she would have known the truth.

The hunter makes me want to be better, except I keep screwing up. No more, though. I’ll prove I’m worthy. I’ll burn the world to the ground if it means she’ll forgive me.
