"Find another woman? You must be kidding. Arielle, you should know more about how the mate bond is," Maxieno retorted. His tone was harsh as he rejected Arielle's request.
"Sorry, Maxieno. I think I need some time to process this. This is too weird. Suri… Suri can't be your mate. There must be some mistake."
Maxieno's expression remained unimpressed by Arielle's words just now. If the woman standing before him wasn't the mother of his mate, he probably would have finished her off right away for offending him.
"Whatever you think, Arielle. I don't care. I've said it and you have to accept it.
"But, Maxieno.."
"Aren't you a human blessed by the Moon Goddess? If you don't trust me, why don't you ask the Moon Goddess herself? It's her who chose the mate for me."
"You know I'm only blessed. I am not a saintess who can speak directly to her."
"Then, accept it. What's the trouble?"
