Chapter 0053 Why are you asking ? He countered ; his eyes narrowed in her direction ..
She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth and nibbled on it gently as she thought about how to answer his question .
Truth be told , she wasnt sure why she wanted to know .
Maybe to prove that the mate bond doesnt matter .
Shes not mated with Ethan , but if either of them did ever found their mates , would they still want to be with each other , or would they automatically choose their mates ? The thought terrified Irene and she would be lying if she said she wasnt worried about Ethan one day finding his mate and then leaving her .
She wanted to know if the mate bond could be fought .
If someone as strong and powerful as Gavin Landry couldnt fight the mate bond , was there any hope for the rest of them ? I guess Im just trying to figure out how the mate bond works , she murmured , tugging at her fingers .
nervously .
He sighed and leaned back on the couch as he thought about her question .
The bond is strong , he admitted .
Probably the strangest thing youd ever experience .
You think your have a handle on it , but in reality , you arent in control .
Its your wolves that take over .
They make it impossible to stay away .
But theres also a part of you that doesnt want to stay away .
You will start to crave them to a point where its almost painful .
Fighting it would only make you and your wolf miserable .
Did you try to fight it ? She asked .
I was young , he murmured .
I didnt really understand the feeling and the bond .
It was all very confusing .
I think a part of me tried to fight it , yes .
But your mother had a way of bringing me out of my shell .
Then , she gave me the greatest gift I could have ever received .
Whats that ? She asked .
Gavin wrapped an arm around his daughter and pulled her in for a hug .
You , he answered .
She smiled as she peered up at him .
So , you did love her , she said softly ; it wasnt a question this time , but Gavin still answered her anyway .
He nodded with a soft smile playing on his lips .
Yes , he answered .
When she died it was really difficult .
Is that why you dont date ? He raised his brows at her question .
I date .
You dont date seriously , she retorted .

Never anything real .
Chapter 0053 -25 BONUS I dont have the time to date , he told her .
I have a pack to run , duties to fulfill , and children to care for .
Im not a child anymore , Dad , she reminded him , nudging his arm with hers .
And Matt doesnt need you around all the time .
We both want you to be happy even if it means dating someone younger than you .
She bit her lip ; she was hinting , and he knew it .
He frowned at her .
Someone younger ? He asked , his eyes never leaving the side of her face .
She shrugged .
We just want you to be happy … with whoever you choose , she told him .
We dont want you to be lonely .
Youve thought a lot about this , huh ? He asked her .
She bit back a smile , but she didnt deny it .
Im going to bed now .
Im guessing Ethan wont call me tonight , she said , standing to her feet .
Gavin could hear the heartache in her tone .
Good night , Dad .
Thanks for the talk .
He didnt say anything , he gave her a nod and watched as she left the room .
His mind traveled back to Judy and how she must be feeling through her own mate bond .
Gavin knew that the mate bond was strong , and it was difficult to break ; she had to live with the fact that her fated mate was marrying another woman and there was nothing she could do about it .
He wondered if Judy was strong enough to overcome such pain .
Is there anything you need tonight before I call it a night ? One of the maids asked , walking into the room .
Gavin sighed and stood to his feet .
No , you are dismissed , he told her and started to walk past her .
I quite liked Miss Montague , the maid proceeded to say before Gavin could leave the room .
Shes a good fit for the house ; dont you think ? Gavin wasnt sure what to say in response , so he chose not to say anything .
He walked out of the living room without sparing her another look .
