Aqualia

No other thoughts consumed my mind but Princess Aqua's. I couldn't help but wonder why she requested my presence. No, there were a hundred reasons why she would want to see me, but was I ready to see her? Heck, no. My actions had been terrible. It was unheard of for a mate to attack the paramour. They lived in harmony. In fact, it was said the mate often felt the connection of the paramour before she coupled with the King.

The thing was I never felt any kind of spiritual connection to Sophia. Yes, I liked her. She was a nice land girl, but that was it. I considered her a friend. There was no foreseeing her and Prince Mitchalus. No instant connection between our beings. Nothing. Even during and after I attacked her, there was nothing. No pain. No love lost. I was empty with nothing but rage.

One could analyze this as a result of Sophia belonging to another. She was never meant to be connected to me. This had to be the reason for my sudden hate for her. It had to be.
