Anaya nodded and bowed her head again. Jonas said the words of rejection, vowing upon the name of the goddess. Thankfully the rejection didn't hurt.
The bond between mates could be imagined like a thin thread joining the two souls. Over time the thread would get thicker and thicker as the feelings grow between mates. It gets harder to sever the bond then.
Jonas and Anaya didn't have feelings for each other and it was only the first day of the mate bond, it didn't hurt much when the bond was cut off. Anaya spoke the words of acceptance and quietly walked away.
Anaya was prepared for the rejection, but it still hurt to be abandoned. A person who was personally selected to be her soulmate, even he didn't want her. Anaya's life was meaningless, wasn't it?
But she still had dreams. Ana
