The mate of a twin can feel the connection to both of them.”“But do you feel the mate bond Noella?” I asked my sister who still hadn’t let Jordan’s hand go. What a fool I was, they both were holding hands not just her.“I feel something more, I love him.” She defended.“I love her too.” Jordan’s words echoed in my head.“She isn’t your mate. I am.” I argued.“No Lystra, she is my mate. I get to choose. I chose her.”I heard him, but the words ‘I love her too’ in his voice was still repeating in my head. Too much to process with the sound of blood in my head.*****This is the story of Lystra Miller's life, after she was rejected and before finding that happily ever after.
