Smelling different

"Impatient? Do you believe I lacked patience? No, I was in love. I started to wonder if the moon goddess was any good and if she still had any equivalent power.

I questioned her decision as to why she didn't offer her to me as a mate. I was so enraged that I started to despise everyone. I disobeyed and ignored everyone and everything that was expected of me.

I came close to dropping out of university. She used to come to see me with cuts, and she said her stepdad was to blame.

We dated for more than five years before I learned that she had been with her mate the entire time. She would self-injure whenever her partner left love marks on her body so I wouldn't be suspicious.
