"I can't accept this bond Octavia, I have my reasons and can't say for now. I don't know if we are ever going to be together, but one thing you should know is that I like who you are and what you've become. Fuck, you don't know how hard it is to say this words, princess. I've wanted you since you stepped out of that car, but I can't have you."
'You can. You can have me. I'm your mate.' She thought with a sad heart.
"I hope you won't say this to anyone." He asked with a hopeful gaze, he forced a smile when she nodded.
"Thank you." With that, he left the room leaving a broken-hearted Octavia behind.
The tears she was trying to hold in poured out, she did not know not being accepted by your mate would be this painful, then how what about when she gets rejected?
'Will it be as painful as this?' She thought.
