"I am visiting under unusual circumstances. I won't bore you with the details but I have lost something of mine and I was hoping you could help me find it."
" I'm sure I can help you find whatever you need." He was slightly confused. "But what exactly have you lost?"
"My mate."
Silence.
"Does she know you are looking for her?"
"Oh yes, she knows."
Camila started choking on her food. She tried to maintain her spluttering so she wouldn't draw attention to herself. Taine noticed and decided to keep going.
His eyes bored into her.
"She actually decided to run from me... I don't know if she was a coward or just too weak and selfish to even consider giving me chance."
She threw her cutlery down and stood up, leaning over the table. Her teeth were bared and a low growl emitted from the back of her throat. She felt hairs rising on her arms and neck. Usually even-tempered, she was now bubbling with rage.
Taine didn't react well to her growl and mirrored her pose. He was trying to put her in her place, into submission. She was not having it.

Destiny's collide, they crash and they scar.
Rough seas, tidal waves, fighting for dominance in an ocean so deep...
Despite the viscous ink of lies and deceit,
secrets, sins one breath from leaving the lips.
Love is the serenity that can calm all storms and transform all hardened hearts.
For to love is to be set free from all shackles that bind you to the darkness.
Whether it is the red string of fate or the curse of the moon, you cannot hide from your destiny. IT WILL FIND YOU.
So...will you fight it?
