Mates Redemption

Sianna POV

“I reject you as my mate.”

As I spoke out the words, his hands balled into a fist while staring at me with his piercing green eyes.

I knew he was angry. Who would expect to be rejected when you finally found your mate?

But I had to do this.

I had been in a relationship with my boyfriend Curtis since high school. We never thought about mating with other strangers, so we both decided to reject our mates when we met them, and then we could choose each other as our mate to spend the rest of our life together.

We had it all mapped out and I wasn’t going to give that up.

The man before me was silent but held his stare on me, though he was now feeling the surge of pain as the bond was being severed.

I knew how much it hurt. I staggered, suffering the same effect.

But I knew it would pass.

“Why?” He finally growled as worry and angry flashed through his green eyes.

“I am in love with someone else and I am not leaving him for someone that I don’t care about.” I sounded heartless but I needed to be sincere so that he understood where I stood with the mate bond. “I am not going to date you or get to know you.”

I scanned his face to notice his flawless chiseled chin and prominent cheekbones. He had thick lashes protecting his eyes and the most kissable pouty lips. His jet black hair fell over his forehead and eyes while the rest fell to the back of his head.

'Our mate is perfect! Why did you reject him?!' My wolf growled inside, not liking my decision.

'We met Curtis first. We love him, and you agreed to it too.' I reminded her.

The man smirked and got up from the table in the café. His powerful aura radiating in the building. Mixed with that was his intoxicating scent of pumpkin mixed with pine trees that was driving my wolf crazy and making her propelling me to run into his arms.

“I will let you think about it some more and if within three months you still feel the same, I will let you go.”

Despite my hostility, his voice was calming. He walked away leaving his coffee and bagel untouched.
