(Prince Stolas' POV)
The nerve of Lavender and her mother, acting like I couldn't get Lily to come back with me. Hello, I was her mate, who had to have a pull somewhere.
The ache of rejection vibrated through my bones. The fresh wave of pain reminded me that none of them were willing to take the rejection back. It was killing me. The emptiness that felt like it was spreading filled my insides, I felt like I was becoming a pain - filled empty pit. How would I convince them to take me as their mate before the agony of rejection took over the sanity of my mind?
Maybe it would be easier to accept their rejection. No, how could I allow the pain to make my choices already? I feared they were like my father, the agony of years of betrayal would tear me apart, but I couldn't allow their past
