Rejection stings. But nothing compared to the betrayal that follows. My world crumbles when Asher rejects me in front of the entire school. Whispers chase me through hallways. Laughter cuts deeper than any words. I hide in the library, tears flowing freely as humiliation wraps around me like chains. Then I see them. My own sister, Tala, locked in his arms. Their kiss is a knife twisted in my chest—but worse is her knowing smirk when our eyes meet. She sees my pain and deepens the kiss anyway. This wasn't just rejection. It was calculated betrayal from the one person who should have stood by my side. In a world where mates are fated and bonds run deeper than blood, I never imagined my sister would steal mine.
