I was resigned to not finding my mate. Everyone else that I knew, all of my friends and family, had already found their mate. Hell, even Trevor, who had been another lonely and mateless man just like me, had found his mate. I was the only person among our inner circle that didn't have a mate. And it pissed me off.
Didn't I deserve a mate? Didn't I deserve love? Wasn't I allowed to be happy and get married? I knew that I did, but I still wasn't finding her. Even recently, when Trevor had his wedding with Gloriana, though it was interrupted, I had been sobbing on the inside while I watched on, not even a date at my side.
