“I'm sorry, I don't know Ty. Has she still not come out of Jessie's room?” I asked him.

I knew we had a long chat yesterday but to be honest I wasn't paying too much attention. I know, shitty brother alert, but watching him cry because of Cassie's emotions surging around him was making me really uncomfortable. I knew he was upset about Jessie, but all the blubbering and sniffling was from Cassie's pain, not Tyler's.

I couldn't stand that part of the mate bond. Don't get me wrong, I liked the idea of being closer to your partner. I mean I bet it was great, feeling their excitement, love...
