After rejection I got myself a second mate

My mate, Husk, rejected me!



What do I care?



Husk is arrogant, stubborn, and pigheaded, the complete opposite of what I want. I can't mate with a brute like him.



Worse, his rejection is causing a rift between him and his brothers, my other mates. I can never give Husk my heart even if he possesses my body.



Fate is cruel and I don't think I can pay the price.



There's a fine line between love and hate, but with me and Husk, it's a mile-long chasm.
