He Suppressed Our Bond Seven Times, the Eighth Time I Broke It 2

Darcy has suppressed the bond between him and his mate seven times, each time leaving Emma to carry the cost alone. The source ends mid-sentence as Darcy suggests they suppress their bond again on a night when he claims to feel dizzy, so the strain of his indifference is already clear. This is the moment Emma begins to weigh how much more of this she can endure, and the sequel picks up the revenge she has been quietly preparing.
