The next two days, Eros kept good on his word not to go and visit Gareth.
He really wanted to but each time he found himself at the start of the stairs that went down to the dungeons, he reminded himself that getting revenge was much more important to his mate when compared to him.
It was the sad reality and Eros tried so hard to get Gareth out of his thoughts but the attempt was futile.
He missed him despite not wanting to.
It felt like he had lost a fragment of his soul and the mate bond he shared with the dragon was to blame for that.
....
Gareth had spent the last two days in agony, knowing that he could have destroyed all his chances at a happy ending with his mate.
Night fell so hard and he shivered slightly from the cold and the loneliness that pierced his heart.
He thought of Eros constantly, wanting nothing more than to see him and make sure that he was alright.
