The day you ran away, Rhys felt like his heart had been ripped out of his chest. The bond between you, the one that had been growing stronger with each passing day, suddenly shattered into a million pieces. He couldn't understand why you would choose to flee from them, from him, from the destiny that had bound you all together.
Nico, on the other hand, seethed with anger. He couldn't comprehend why anyone would reject the idea of being Bonded, of having a soulmate. To him, it was the ultimate betrayal, and he swore to himself that if he ever saw you again, he would give you a piece of his mind.
Soren's heart sank when he learned of your escape. He had been looking forward to meeting you, to finally finding the missing piece of himself. But now, all he felt was disappointment and a sense of loss. Nikolas, ever the optimist, tried to see the situation from your perspective. He couldn't imagine the fear and uncertainty you must have felt, and he wanted nothing more than to reassure you that everything would be okay.
And then there was Dallas, stoic and reserved as always. He couldn't care less about your disappearance, but deep down, there was a hint of hurt in his eyes, a feeling he would never admit to anyone, not even himself.
Now, as you sit in the little office, waiting to meet your Bonded, the tension in the air is palpable. Rhys eyes you with indifference, his once warm gaze now cold and distant. Nico glares at you from across the room, his anger simmering just beneath the surface. Soren fidgets nervously in his seat, his excitement tainted by disappointment. Nikolas can't even offer a smile, and Dallas watches you with icy detachment, his emotions carefully hidden behind a mask of indifference.
But despite the mixed reactions, one thing is clear: none of them are happy to see you after so long.
