"Faye, you need to get yourself together and accept that Alpha Timerante doesn't love you. It's the only way for you to get rid of him for good," my wolf said to me. In front of me, Timerante was holding his injured lover, blaming me for her injuries. He even demanded my blood and even my heart to save that despicable third party. How absurd! "I, Faye Martinez, reject you, Alpha Timerante Thompson, as my mate! Forever!" Upon hearing my words, Timerante seemed momentarily disbelieving, then sneered. "Faye, it is only I who rejects you. You have no right to reject me." "Is that so?" I looked at these detestable sh*t heads. Under my dominance, the mate bond between Timerante and me finally shattered. For the first time in over half a year, I felt free, as if I could finally breathe. And this time, it was Timerante's turn to look shocked. "Who... Who are you? How could our mate bond break without my permission?" "Moon Goddess, I, Faye Martinez, am willing to answer your call and become the Blood Priestess!" As I spoke, I looked at William. Flames appeared alongside my white wolf, accompanied by an even more powerful crimson light. Finally, I gazed at them and uttered indifferently. "Submit or die?"

I’m so pressed. “I’m 41, and you’re just 20….” “Blah, blah and blah….” Now I pity whoever birthed him. “You’re not normal.” “Make me,” he says.
