Destinee When I heard my name being called, I thought that it was the best thing ever. I was to marry Jeff, the Alpha of the clan and the man I had been crushing on for years. Jeff wasn’t happy though as his face showed his true feelings. He was in love with someone else. I was devastated but I didn’t have a choice. He was an alpha and even if he didn’t love me or even want me, I had to be his wife. He was out most nights, drinking with friends, while I stayed back, waiting up. Jeff was still just as devastatingly handsome as ever, he made my body come alive. But he never touched me, and I was starting to think that he never would.
Maybe this is my destiny… And I have accepted it.
Jeff Us dragonkin have rules. The Alpha in particular has many rules imposed upon him and one of them was to be mated early in life. I couldn’t pick my own mate, mind you. One had to be chosen for me, through some stupid ritual. I didn’t know what to think of the tiny, quiet healer that I’d never really noticed before. When she was called up to be my mate, I thought there had been some mistake. Surely not her… I’d made it clear that she wasn’t what I wanted. It wasn’t until I realized I’d messed up, and now I was remiss from that reaction. Now, I wanted my wife, but she wasn’t having it. I couldn’t blame her, I was acting like a jerk. Everything was coming to a head, the clan’s sapphire was stolen. Our protection was gone. Members were getting attacked and even then and all I could think and worry about was getting back in Destinee’s good graces.
I don’t know when exactly it happened, but at some point, I fell for my wife. And I would now do anything to make her see that mating with me wasn’t a mistake. It was our destiny. I want to make her mine. Will I ever be able to win her back?
