Chapter 20: Plan of Action

Micah

I can’t believe what Zariah has told me, but the longer the two of us dance together at the Moon Goddess Ball, the more aware I become that what she is saying is true.

She is my fated mate.

How has this happened?

The Moon Goddess has some sick sense of humor, I can tell you that.

Zariah does look beautiful in her silver dress. Her hair is pinned up with silver pins that catch the light and twinkle, making it look like she has stars sprinkled throughout her hair. She’s so gorgeous. With her in my arms, I am reminded of how petite she is, how small.

It’s just another reminder of why I don’t want her to be my Beta.

And now, not only do I not want her to be my Beta… I don’t want her to be my mate.

How can I continue to tell her over and over again that she can’t be what she’s meant to be? It’s exhausting.
