Chapter 3. Blast It! (2)

Valen’s POV

We spent the next day as brothers hanging out. I hated seeing him disheartened. So, I waited until today, to tell him that she was my mate. Now he expected that, for the sake of our sibling bond, I should reject Raina and let him have her.

It was like this, they were around the same age and he had a thing for Raina while she liked me. Her interest was something that I worked on keeping and there was no way in hell that I would break the mate bond with her. For the record, they were not a couple. Hence, we will iron this out here and now.

The rain was incessant. Like bracken pods in a bush fire, it snapped and crackled. There did not appear to be anyone around to stop the floodgates that had been unleashed in the tenebrous sky. Sprouting out thunderous water gouts and thunking bubbles of sopping liquid.

“Why did it have to be you?” He asked stiffly and was evidently still not on terms with the fact that he could not have her.<
