(Brady POV)
"How can you say that, Kalen? Just four hours ago, you were all in on taking Astrid and Rose as our chosen mates. And now you want to give up?!"
Kalen sighed through the link. "Astrid was right, Brady. We got attached to her because of Evelyn."
"BULLSH*T! Astrid is special on her own."
"She is. But that's not why we latched onto her so strongly. We need to let go, Brady. We need to wait for our second chance mate."
"IT'S BEEN YEARS, KALEN. YEARS. If the Moon Goddess was going to give us a second chance mate, don't you think we'd have met her by now?!"
"We weren't ready."
"Not ready? I owned up to my mistake. I apologized. I've paid the price. What more do I have to do to be ready?"
"Let go."
"…What?"
"We'll never be ready for a second chance mate until we're willing to let go of the first one. We need to let go of Evelyn. And Edie."
"F**k you, Kalen," I roared.
I hated that he might be right.
