Fauna:
After speaking with Haiden and feeling heartbroken, I decided to return to my room.
I was lost in my thoughts and did not check my surroundings as I moved quickly. There was only one thing on my mind: what was I going to do?
I could not tell anyone about my mate bond with Haiden because he would refuse, and I would be called a liar.
"You really want him to reject you?" my wolf asked when she noticed I was making excuses to stay silent.
"I wonder if we should ask for a rejection so we can move on?" I shot back at her, pressing her with the question.
"I don't want rejection," She admitted in a low whisper.
"Neither do I." I responded in the same sad tone.
I thought about waiting for him forever, but there was my dad and his threats. He had made it clear that if we did not find a mate, he would be very angry with us.
I reminded my wolf of that as I kept moving.
When I reached the stairs, I felt as if someone was behind me.
