Cowboy Hat Rules

"I, Amelia Anderson, reject Nickolas Adams II as my mate." I've had enough. I don't know why I didn't reject him the moment I arrived here. What the heck was I stalling for? Nickolas and I don't have a single chance in heaven of being together. It's better to feel immense pain now than keep enduring little bits every time we run into each other. The muscles in his back tighten, but he doesn't turn back and says, "Accepting your rejection would be doing you a favor, and that's the last thing I would ever do for you." He walks away after that. ***** Nickolas, the vampire king, had lost hope of ever finding his mate, resigned to the belief that he was destined to spend the rest of his days on Earth without her. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when he embarks on a journey to the werewolf kingdom. In a twist of destiny, Nickolas discovers his mate—a werewolf, and not just any werewolf, but the princess and daughter of his father's murderer, Amelia Anderson. Despite her royal status, Amelia's life is far from the fairy tale one might expect. A unique aspect of her identity brings difficulty, and being the sole individual among her peers without a mate intensifies her sense of isolation. The trajectory of her seemingly mundane life takes an unforeseen turn the day she encounters her mate. Suddenly, she is into a reality she never imagined, and Amelia finds herself paying a steep price for a lifetime of sins she didn't commit.

Alice menatap sendu ke arah luar jendela rumahnya. Tampak terlihat anak-anak kecil tengah bermain bola di depan rumahnya. Ramai, bising, dan gelak tawa yang membuat orang lain terganggu, tapi tidak dengannya. Ia selalu merindukan momen dimana anak-anak bermain di depan rumahnya. Terkadang, ia memberikan makanan atau minuman ringan untuk mereka semua. Alice tersenyum, saat melihat bocah kecil itu tertawa riang melihat aneka jajanan yang diberikan olehnya. Sesekali ia menghapus buliran bening, yang membasahi pipinya. Ia kembali teringat akan ucapan sang ibu mertua, yang membuatnya menitikkan air mata. Sang ibu mertua menyindirnya, saat ia dan suami berkunjung kesana. Sindiran tajam yang terdengar biasa bagi yang lain, tapi tidak bagi Alice.

Berulang kali Alice menghapus air matanya, namun malah semakin deras mengalir membasahi pipinya. Suara riuh gelak tawa anak-anak tetangganya, selalu menjadi hiburan tersendiri untuknya.
