Drew felt stupid for hoping that things would change. He was angry at himself for thinking he wouldn't be one of those cliche rejections of the highborn he always heard about. He hated that he was a victim of this and he hated that he was living a nightmare.

"Drew's my mate."
When Qiao spoke, he expected Drew to pause and come back to him, but his mate just walked away, leaving the crown prince and his friends staring at the blank space. Whatever was going on, it had to be that serious.
