Yorick:
Ever since I felt the mate bond with Mariana, I had been in shock.
I knew Mariana. We moved in the same social circles.
She was spoiled and pampered. Everyone called her beautiful, and she truly was.
Many people wanted her.
I had never imagined something like this.
Of course, I found her attractive. But I knew we could never be together.
We belonged to completely different communities.
Her father was controlling. Then her engagement to Messi had been arranged.
Before that, I had already fallen in love with Clementine.
When I kissed Mariana and felt the mate bond, it felt like everything had been planned.
My rejection by Clementine earlier suddenly made sense. It was as if the Moon Goddess had arranged it all.
Honestly, Mariana’s closeness gave me comfort. At that moment, I was ready to do anything for her.
The way she cupped my face and searched my body for injuries with such concern made something shift inside me.
It feels different when someone loves you fiercely and openly.
I wanted that love.
I was tired of one sided affection.
Clementine was no longer mine. And after everything my family had done to her, it would have been inappropriate for me to even approach her again.
Anyway, we grabbed the bags and ran.
The danger was not over yet.
I knew my parents would come after her. They would come after Mariana without hesitation.
So I kept them busy by telling them to move Charles. Then I ran with Mariana and the bags.
I had already told her about my parents and academy before. But now I told her everything.
My parents were not trustworthy.
I did not trust them either.
"It must be strange," Mariana said as we headed toward the safe mansion, "living there while they create monsters."
It was strange.
Even stranger coming back here and fighting my parents’ creations.
"You know, there are fleshmingos here," I told her, pointing toward the road. "But if we move quietly and do not make noise, we will be fine."
We moved behind the houses.
When we reached the main mansion, Mariana’s eyes widened.
She turned to look at me.
I gestured toward the building. This was the place.
I picked the lock.
I had learned how to do it after watching Clementine many times.
