holy mother of the goddess herself

CHARLOTTE

We were back at the dorms, sitting on the bed, and facing each other.

We needed the privacy.

"Alright, Char," Mads said, folding her hands across her chest. "Talk."

It wouldn't be easy to say. None of this would, but I needed to do this. I closed my eyes, sighing, and opening them. "We… I… Ugh!” I bury my face in my hands, “I have no idea where to start."

"Then start from how you found out you were mates." Madeline pushed.

"I found out on the day of orientation. At the assembly.” I said, “As soon as walked in, and saw you guys up on the stadium, I felt it. Seriously, it was scary and I didn't want it. I didn't want to be mated to him at all.” To any of them.

"So that's why you didn't tell me?" She asked, tilting her head.

"No… I didn't tell anyone because I thought not talking about it would make it less of a reality." I looked down, picking at my nails. "It was just… so disappointing. I mean, why them?" I whispered out the last two words. Almost like it just hit me.
