Evelyn's POV I close my eyes. And wait for it. But the impact doesn't come. He doesn't kiss me. I open one eye. And then second because somehow, my mind is all fogged up clogging my vision. He is looking at me. And he is smiling. He is still so close to me. I can feel his breathe on my face. Smells like porridge. And apples. It is then that I realise, he is injured! I don't know what to say about. It is me who hurt him. Because I hate him. I hate him now too. But why am I hoping for him to kiss me? Stupid matebond! And then do I realise again, that I am stupidly standing before him. My eyes closed and ready to kiss him when we did not even talk about our mate bond till now. I push him away and he laughs. I hit him on his chest and he winces. Shit! There was a wound on him if
