Her heart pounded violently as she stared at the man standing before her. Alexander Blackwood. Her third fated mate. She had lived through this nightmare twice already. Despite desperately wanting things to be different, deep down, she knew how it would end. Still, a small part of her had dared to hope. Perhaps the Moon Goddess had finally decided to show her mercy. Perhaps, after years of being treated like an outcast, Zaya Rutherford would finally experience what it felt like to be loved by her fated mate. Perhaps this time would be different. “No, Zaya.” The single word shattered her fragile hope. She stared up at Alexander, searching his face for the slightest hint of hesitation. There was none.
