The Rebel's Mate
Karen took a step forward, her fists clenched at her sides.
"You will apologize to me and my fated mate," she said, her voice filled with determination.
"And you will leave this kingdom, never to return."
Jamie's eyes widened in shock.
"Leave the kingdom?" she repeated.
"But where will I go?"
"That's not my concern," Karen replied, her voice firm.
"You've made your bed, Jamie. Now you have to lie in it."
The rebel stepped forward, his eyes flickering with anger.
"And if you refuse to leave?" he asked, his voice low and dangerous.
