A Chosen Mate

Karina Parris Romance

"Obviously you know you can't be my mate," he started to say. His eyes raked over her body and she felt the need to fold her arms over herself. "As hot as you are, I can't accept you. You're just a little Omega. You aren't fit to be my mate or a Luna."
"Is that so?" she asked, raising her eyebrow.
"You know it's true. You're fit for making my food, not my heirs," he rolled his eyes. "So, in that case, I Brandon Blackwe..."
Alina cleared her throat to stop him. "Excuse you," she said sharply.
Shocked, he just stared at her.
"You will not reject me," she said.
"Oh?"
"No, because I, Alina Taylor of Hunter's Moon Pack reject you, Brandon Blackwell, as my mate." As she finished she felt the searing pain of the bond breaking. Her heart felt as if it were being ripped in two. The mate bond pulling and stretching at every fiber of her being. She clenched her fists tightly, resolved to stay standing and not make a sound.
Brandon on the other hand fell to one knee. Tears streamed down his face as he clutched his chest and cried out in pain.
"Brandon, you need to accept my rejection!" she hissed through her teeth.
"Screw you!" he shouted. He slowly stood and with more strength than seemed possible he backhanded her across the face. "How dare you?"
"How dare I do what you were doing?" she snapped at him. Her hand came up to her chest and she held it there for a moment to steady herself.
