I Reject You, Mate.Updated at Nov 30, 2023, 10:47
Following a heartbreak from my betrothed and the man I have loved all of my life, I leave my home and family behind, seeking solace in the Realm of the Humans.
Having no qualifications to live in a world bound by stupid rules has me jumping at an absurdly good offer to be the personal assistant to a top class business man.
And my first assignment is delivering his forgotten wedding rings to the event.
Astrid Blackwood thinks she has the worst luck.
I top that bar.
I found my mate. My boss, standing at the altar, exchanging vows with a puny human woman I could break in half if I wanted to.
I flee, fingers clutching the damned ring boxes.
He leaves his fiancée at the altar, chasing after me, but it makes no difference to me. I have had my fair share of rejections and I can't take anymore of it.
So, I reject him, before he can do the same to me.
But rather than cower in pain, he cracks a grin that makes my stony heart stumble, and leans forward, several feet taller than me. "And you're fired."
