(Amaia)
The situation with Alnilam has left me more frustrated than I could have imagined. The thought of him never owning and recognising me as his mate has destroyed my peace. The curse on me will never be fully broken if he won't accept me as his mate.
I want to be left alone but Rigel doesn't understand boundaries.
My insistence on his leaving me alone falls on deaf ears. He follows me like a desperate, lost soul, until we get to my room.
Holding onto my arm, he spins me around so I can face him.
Desperation clings to him like a second skin. His face holds so much contempt. "Alnilam will not accept you. Once he makes up his mind, he won't change his decision. His reputation is more important to him than you."
The truths he is uttering are something I don't wish to hear at that moment. I know Rigel means well, but right now I just want to be left alone and contemplate my feelings. My chest burns and I can hardly speak.
