Being around Davina was presenting more of a challenge each time. I almost royally f****d up everything by letting her control me again. If I had ever spoken those words, I would have never forgiven myself. It wasn't like I believed that Stella would accept my rejection, but I prided myself on never doing that to my mate. For years I have had to hear stories of males rejecting their mates because of this thing about making them weaker. Honestly, that was a damn cop-out. Every werewolf in the history of werewolves knew that it only made you stronger by having a mate. For you to use it as an excuse just pissed me off.
Since Davina was close by, the spell was working in
