6 Months Later
Six long months passed, and my heart still ached from the rejection.
My mother said that whatever I felt now had nothing to do with the mate bond. When Sophia accepted the rejection, the pain from our bond would have faded over a few weeks, and that meant that whatever I felt now was real.
I already knew I had real feelings for Sophia, so what my mother said didn’t surprise me. I just wished I had figured out how much I cared for her before it was too late.
It was almost comical how much things had changed in such a short period. Everything I once thought was important to me no longer was. I didn’t care about the alpha title or my position in the pack anymore. It just wasn’t the same without my mate by my side.
I kept myself busy on the training field most day
