Chapter 1 Rejected
"Our mate is here." The words spoken by my wolf echoed in my ears as I stepped into the hall.
Amber couldn't escape the palpable tension in the air as she attended Paul and Rose's engagement dinner. The celebration was in full swing but a knot tightened in her stomach, nervous about meeting her mate for the first time.
Midway through the festivities, Paul caught her eye, a flicker of surprise and unease took over her.
"This can't be happening, how is the possible?" Doubt began to form in my mind.
My mate. The future Alpha of the Gatekeep pack Paul Asher, is my mate.
Paul's eyes were blown wide as he stood there staring at me. It took us completely by surprise.
Why did we just find out we were bound? We should've known we were mates at Seventeen. It should've been instantaneous. But it didn't happen. We didn't know.
In his expression. Without a word, he gestured for her to join him outside. Intrigued and wary, Amber followed, the night air carrying a sense of impending revelation.
Once away from the jubilant crowd, Paul's eyes met hers with a mix of turmoil. "Amber, we need to talk."
