Alaia POV
I’d been rejected. My mate rejected me. I pulled my blanket back over my head and willed the world to just swallow me whole. So far, being an adult sucked. I rolled over and buried my head in the pillow. Amethyst stirred, and I immediately tensed up.
What is it? I asked her, almost too afraid to hear the answer.
Mate.
We don’t have a mate, remember? He rejected us! I spat.
She let off a small whimper, which immediately led me to apologize. I’m so sorry, Amethyst. None of this is your fault, and I shouldn’t be taking it out on you. We'll get through this together, right? Maybe if I say it enough, my heart would finally start to believe it.
He was here, Doll.
Alexi was here? Why would he come to my room after he ripped my heart out and stomped on it? I took a deep breath
