I hated betraying Bella, but I did it for her own good. While I want them to be together, I also want to see Zach suffer, pay for his sins, and win her back.
He was lucky I found my mate if not, I would not have made it easy for him but the fact remained that their souls were already intertwined because of what Bella did for him.
At one point, I considered giving up on him, but I know that if the curse takes effect, it could result in death, which would also be my end. However, I never expected a spell to be in play.
When I found my mate, I was overjoyed and wanted to mark her immediately. But when Bella barged into my room for the first time, confessing her love for me, I was torn.
