Kolton's hands went completely still against Kimi's cheeks the moment her words hit him. His dark eyes widened in pure disbelief.
"What did you just say?"
Kimi pulled his hands away from her face with deliberate force, her voice steady and cold.
"You heard me perfectly. I won't repeat myself."
A deep frown creased his forehead as he stared at her. "Why would you ask for something completely impossible?"
A bitter laugh escaped her lips. "Impossible? That's rich coming from the guy who never believed in destiny before he shattered our mate bond. Now you want to lecture me about what's possible? How ironic, Kolton."
Kolton stood frozen, his jaw clenched tight as he processed every word she'd thrown at him. The silence stretched between them like a chasm.
"You're actually asking me to throw the final match so Bennett can win?"
Kimi raised an eyebrow at his question. While Bennett desperately needed that victory, that wasn't her true motivation behind the demand.
