[MBALI]

[Still The Lonely Night… A MONTH BEFORE THE GREAT SICARIO WAR]

"I am here for you, mi reina, just you," Amina said, her confession forcing Mbali a few steps back, again. 

Everything was confusing as hell when it came to Amina and frankly, Mbali hadn't made a bargain this long for her. But then what else could she do when the heart she was supposed to burn to ashes was now beating for her? 

"And that is supposed to make me what? Feel bad for you? Well, I'm sorry you've had to live with the idea that I'm your mate, but I'm not your mate. My sister marked me already. So back the fuck up or I will actually kill you myself," Mbali warned. 

She wasn't ready to embrace whatever this was, because she was scared of being hurt. All her life Mbali had lived in pain and rejection because of everything that had happened with her family.
