My jaw drops open, and all I can do is stare in revulsion at him. This wasn't happening. It couldn't be. My brain tells me I have two choices right now, run, or say something to him. But what was I gonna say? No thanks? Polite pass? I literally have no words for the cruel joke the Moon Goddess has played on me. What could I have possibly done to deserve this? Out of all the males she could have chosen to be my mate, why Styxx? He, too, appears to be frozen in shock, with a look that's close to fear on his face. His mouth just hangs open, much like my own. I'll bet he was hoping for someone from another pack. Someone who didn't know who he was. Or what he was. Unfortunately, I do. I fight back the tears as I turn to walk away. "Raiyne," He calls out to me, suddenly finding his voice. But instead of looking back or answering him, I go with my first option. I run.
