SCAR OF THE REJECTED THORN
"A second chance mate, he murmured, awe threading through his tone. The Moon Goddess blessed us twice. We’re not losing her, Alaric. Not again."
Fate had brought her to me, wounded, terrified, yet strong enough to survive. Now she stood there, trembling, thinking I’d break her the same way someone else did.
I exhaled slowly, forcing my voice to steady. “You think I would reject you because of what you look like?”
She finally looked up then, really looked. Her deep brown eyes shimmered with pain and defiance, as though she’d already accepted that the world would never love her.
"Tell her, Orion urged. Tell her she’s ours. Tell her she’s everything."
