Kill Her

This bond was completely taking over my senses, making me pull her close to inhale her wild berry and honey scent. I was happy that she was returning the favor. I slowly but reluctantly helped her back to bed.

I knew eventually, it might come down to eliminating the problem, but it was still hard to come to terms with it. Alaia was still my little sister.

At that moment, Harry entered the room with a glass of water and gave it to Mirja.
