Chapter 60

Samantha Point of View 

Aria and I watched as my other self walked away with the boy who claimed to be her mate. Not long after, the scenery began to change. I looked at Aria, waiting for her to confirm what I just saw. Aria nodded and told me, "He is your mate. Ryder was your mate because I was in you and my mate was in him, which basically made you mates. But without me, you would have belonged to someone else. You were someone's mate."

It didn't seem that way when I looked at them. With my brows furrowed, I looked at Aria with a puzzled expression on my face. "But she didn't feel anything for him. I thought falling in love with your mate was easy." I said.

Aria shook her head lightly at the notion. She then responded, "It's not. Having mates doesn't affect how much you love them. It's like a pull. It just sends signals that the person was chosen to be your mate by the moon goddess herself, but it is our decision to accept them or not.
