Rejected, And Became A Heiress (Cara) novel Chapter 130

Colin's POV

“...That’s what a fated mate is.”

I murmur to myself.

“What?” Aidan sits slumped against the wall, frustrated and dejected, shooting me a bitter look. “There you go again, saying weird stuff, Professor.”

The three of us—Aidan, Ryan, and I—wait outside Cara’s house, careful not to reenter her room and risk making her angrier.

Frankly, I understand perfectly why she’s mad. We shouldn’t have interrupted her weekend—or, more accurately, their weekend.

“It’s nothing,” I say. “Just something I remembered from an academic paper I read back in school.”

“Just talk about it, man,” Ryan groans. “Anything to break this mood. I feel like crap right now.”

Our family is known for its talents, and my memory is sharp enough to perfectly recall that article I’d stumbled upon years ago. Slowly, I begin reciting it to them, the words clear in my mind.

Werewolves are creatures forever in search of their mates.

It’s both instinct and yearning, embedded in our very nature.

In response to this, the Moon Goddess blessed us with the sacred bond that allows each werewolf to find their destined mate.

Among these bonds, the rarest and deepest is the fated mate.

They are born for one another. Unlike ordinary mates, whose connection vanishes if rejected, a fated mate bond cannot be severed so easily. Even if they reject each other, the lingering bond—and destiny—will repeatedly pull them back together.

The Goddess watches every pair of fated mates, guiding their paths with unyielding persistence.

This is the meaning of a fated mate.

“This isn’t just about Cara,” I explain, “it’s about every werewolf, including us.”
