The Hundredth Rejection
My promised mate, August Sterling, fell in love with my sister, Anna Morgart.
However, I was supposed to be his fated mate.
Yet, he held no feelings for me. Time and again, he put off our mating ritual.
Due to the delays, the mate bond wrecked my body with incredible agony.
Still, August turned his back on me. His eyes were only fixated on the tiniest cut on Anna’s hand.
On the 99th scheduled ceremony, August once again abandoned me for Anna.
He simply said, “Anna’s in a foul mood today. I need to cheer her up at the amusement park. The ritual can wait until next week.”
As August walked away, I gritted my teeth and fought back the brewing turmoil within.
August had one more chance.
The Moon Goddess promised that by the 100th time August decided to move the ceremony away, I would be granted the choice to sever the mate bond.
