ARIA
We are mates.
Atlas's voice and his words filled my head. Last night, I couldn't sleep, twisting and turning until morning came.
I didn't know how to feel about being mated to him. I had never imagined that goddess Selene would grant me a second chance mate, much less a broody, conceited jerk like Atlas, who barely cared about me. What was the goddess even thinking?
Maybe she thought I'd jump at the offer, blessing her name while singing her praises. As if. She had dragged me through hell, yanked me back, only to throw me into the same damned fire again.
I had Lyra to compete with for Kaiden's attention, and I lost. Now, she expected me to compete with Sophia for Atlas? Talking of which, Atlas had dodged me every time I mentioned Sophia yesterday. He never gave me an answer. I still couldn't tell if that was deliberate or worse, if the truth was something he didn't want me to know.
