I can hear myself again, Kira! She joyfully squealed. The suffering she endured as a result of the beatings the rogue inflicted on her was now irrelevant. She eventually recovered her voice. Kira said, "Your voice is back!" almost immediately. She shrieked with delight, "Now we can talk to our mate at last!" Haven experienced the same level of elation that she had only a moment earlier. ' Mate?' The man who was holding her quickly caught her attention. She had forgotten entirely that she was in this man's arms. 'Man' that. Haven regarded him with contempt. He continued to stare blankly at her with his hands still hanging in the air. "What do you think you're trying to do?!" Haven sensed the anger she had been holding inside for so many days about to come out. Haven often wanted to kill him just by glancing at his face. What kind of cruel joke was Selene telling her? How could the one person she detested end up being her soul mate?
