My Scared Mate

"How could you harm someone you professed to love? I may not know much about mates, but the mere thought of inflicting pain on Jayleen is unbearable. And I hardly even know him. So, how on earth could you do that to my mother?" Her voice escalated, tears glistening in her intense blue eyes.

"No! Nothing you say can justify your actions," she shouted, cutting me off. Skye paced in front of me, lost in thought. "Why did you come with me?" I asked, risking the question. What made her choose me over her mate?
