Mates Are Overrated

Romanda Everglade Chapter 3

Natalie's POV

I felt like a bag of bricks were thrown at me. My neck burned like fire. My mate was marking someone else, my sister. It was too much pain for me to bare. I couldn’t cope, so I just passed out.

Adam’s POV

She walked towards me, looking so beautiful. I couldn’t help but think that she was beautiful. She took another step and then pain washed over her face. Something was terribly wrong. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head then she fell. I couldn’t get up fast enough to catch her.

“Natalie!” I shrieked. What happened?

I had no idea what to do, so I just picked her up and tucked her in my bed. I was beyond worried for her. The only reason I’d be worried for her is because I was starting to feel something towards her. She had to be my mate…

Natalie’s POV

 I was dreaming of a white coated forest, snow. A woman in completely white was standing in front of a willow tree. She had a white sparkling dress and no shoes. She had dark black hair that cascaded around her shoulders.

I walked over to her cautiously, “Who are you?”

“Romanda Everglade, I am the first woman to be cheated on by her mate.  I couldn’t’ handle it so I went suicide. I am just a spirit now; a spirit that guides the cheated on. I brought you here because I am here to relieve you of your awful mate,” She explained everything.

She outstretched her hand and touched my neck. Her hand touched the mark Darin gave me.  It was a small pinch but then it felt cold. She backed away and waved her hand. A thin sheet of water appeared in front of me. The water acted like a mirror. I looked into my reflection and saw that my mark was gone. I was free from Darin. Finally!

“Thank you!” I felt tears of joy sting my eyes.

“I have granted you a new mate, he is someone you already know. I hope you’ll be happier with this chance I gave you,” Romanda bowed and then dissolved into thin air. Everything else dissolved to blackness. I then woke up.

My eyes fluttered open. I was staring at a blank ceiling. I slowly sat up. I took everything in that just happened. I was free from Darin’s grasp! I was so happy!

“Natalie! You’re awake!” Adam came through the door and ran over to me. He encased me in a huge hug. I felt small shocks throughout my body. I knew Adam felt that too. Adam looked into my eyes. His green eyes were filled with realization and love. He smiled then he kissed me gently. He pulled away.

“You’re my mate, Natalie,” He kissed me again.
