Chapter 19

Bridget POV

I saw Dune get out of his vehicle and I made the phone call to Prince Luke. I put my phone on the table after locking the screen. I had my earbuds in, so as soon as he sat down, I made sure he saw me take one out, “What do you want?” He smiled, “You already know what I want, Adele. You are my mate.” He reached out to try to touch my face, but I backed out of his reach, “You are not touching me until I know, for a fact, that you are my mate. So far, I’m not convinced. You’ve already obliterated my trust in you.” He growled, “A lot of that wouldn’t have had to happen if you had let me mark you.” I shook my head, “You see, that’s where we think differently. My actual mate would have never thought about trying to hurt me. My real mate wouldn’t have even thought about locking me in a room. So, you see where I’m going with this.”

Dune looked at me with a blank expression, “You will see. I am your mate. But, if you want to trust me before I mark you, so be it. Let’s have dinner.
