Chapter 21

Brielle's POV After we had that talk, I asked Blake to take me back home before I got reported as a missing person. The air between us became more tense and awkward. I don't know how to feel about the mate thing. It feels burdening to know that I'm going to be his without even having a choice. Well, I do have a choice. He explained to me that being mates doesn't necessarily mean that I am obliged to be with him. I could reject him. It sounded like something he would have loved to omit, but I guess he wanted to ease up the situation.
