"You're my mate?" I felt nervous when Xander spoke those words. His emerald eyes locked into mine, and he ran his fingers through his blond hair - I knew right away, that I was rejected.
"There is no way that we could be mates. You are my sister's boyfriend-" I whispered, bracing myself for his potential rejection.

Caroline emphasized the importance of making personal changes for one's own sake, rather than for the sake of others.


　　I refuse to grant them the pleasure they incessantly craved.


　　However, I found myself obstructed by Evangeline in the doorway.


　　"I regret to inform you that entry is not permitted," she stated firmly.


　　I furrowed my brow. "Why not?" I let out a soft laugh.


　　She lets out a deep breath, "Perhaps the patient is not inclined to-"
