Semua Bab Bound by Moonlight: The Rejected Mate: Bab 1 - Bab 6

The pulsating music and flashing lights engulfed me as I danced with Heart inside the vibrant bar. Yet, beneath the façade of revelry, my heart remained heavy with the burden of an arranged marriage I never wanted. Maximo's rejection of our bond and his constant anger whenever I was near had left me disappointed and drained. I tried to please him, but it seemed like an insurmountable task."Cza, can you believe this night? It's like the universe conspired to give us the best party ever!"I suddenly giggled at what my best friend have told me while we are in the middle of the crowd. I brush my hand through my hair. "I know, right? What about we do this more often?" I kidded when I know to myself that the idea seem impossible. Tonight is just my impulsive escape from the new world I am currently in. Tomorrow, I will wake up with a heavy heart again, having no choice but to go home where my husband is. To where Maximo is. What could he be doing tonight? Probably he's home again, but cu

I felt a chill race down my spine, my heart pounding in a mixture of fear and dread."Maximo!" I called out, looking back at the shred of wood on the ground.I was in the kitchen, talking to Heath but Maximo's sudden entrance froze me in my tracks. My heart clenched as I saw his eyes locked onto mine, his anger a tempest that threatened to consume everything in its path.Instinctively, I take a few steps, my fingers trembling, desperate to intervene before Maximo's fury escalated.
