How To Rule ✅COMPLETE
When Rin imagined meeting her mate she did not expect their first meeting to be of him wounded and kneeling in her father's throne room slowly dying. What was more shocking was how she healed him without a second thought because she couldn't bear his pain and even going as far as kissing him slightly forgetting everyone in the room including her father who did not look in anyway pleased. She is torn between two sides. The right one blurred in-between them both. Each holding a consequence she just might not be ready to face. Her father who is grooming her to be exactly like him, a merciless tyrant. Or Her mate who wants her to forsake all she's ever known and in doing so choose him and his people, the rebels. *** 'Rin I care about you. The moment you let them conquer your mind from something as weak as your heart you have already lost. They will use that spymaster to dethrone me and once they do that they will disgard you for your blood relation to me. Understand. I have to protect you Rin even if it hurts you. You're my little girl.' *** Written for the open novella contest 2021. Longlisted for the open novella contest 2021.Complete
Ellipsis...
It was he who helped me forget my past. It was he who acted as my medication for my depression and it was he that got me out of my misery. I hate my father for bringing this curse upon me and my mother. If it weren't for Sizwe, I would have already been gone from this planet resting in the afterlife. I tried to push Sizwe out of my life but he resisted. He didn't care about my flaws, especially the ones my father created. He has always been by my side. His ellipsis... changed everything. Thank you, Sizwe. -Lebohang Mahlangu WARNING!!! This book covers explicit content and topics such as violence, gender-based violence, suicide, and mental health issues.
