Dakota

One week since she'd seen him, and not a word. The last thing out of his mouth was a promise to message her, and yet he hadn't, at all. The pain inside her heart grew stronger with each passing day, and she knew what it meant. It was impossible not to. She'd been right the whole time and Achilles really was her mate. And now, he'd abandoned her.

And there was nothing she could do. There was an off chance she could go before the Witch Council and ask for them to intervene, but that wouldn't do anything except make her shame widely known.

Dakota, the witch who couldn't even keep her mate with her.

Rhi chirped and pushed under her arm. Smiling despite the pain, Dakota scratched her familiar's head, receiving an odd keening noise in return. Suddenly, even Rhi's shape made more sense. If her mate was a dragon, it made sense that her familiar was too. Which just made it worse, now she had a constant reminder of that. Life just knew how to make her feel great.

A text flashed up on her screen, and she grabbed her phone from the kitchen table within an instant.

Come out with us tonight.

Ah. Only Rosie, and she was trying to convince Dakota to leave the safety of her house. Again.

It's a Sunday night, Dakota responded.

That's not a no...

No. She couldn't afford to go out drinking again. She knew if she did, she'd have too much and end up exhausted tomorrow. She couldn't face that on top of heartbreak when she needed to focus on her work.

Dak, please. You've been cooped up in your house all week.

And I like it here.

It's not good for you, Rosie sent back.

Dakota sighed and dropped the phone back down on the table. She didn't have time for Rosie's pity or need to get her back on her feet. She was sad, and just wanted to be left alone to be sad. It was a way for her to process things. And a little bit so she could stay in denial about what had happened. She didn't want to be the abandoned mate, and her friends would look at her that way even if they said they wouldn't.

Her phone buzzed again, and she picked it up despite knowing that it would probably just be Rosie again, no doubt still trying to change her mind.

We miss you at MatchMater. Did you find your mate?

"Argh!" Dakota screamed, almost throwing her phone at the wall.

Rhi jumped and disintegrated into the air. Even better, she'd managed to scare away her familiar. That took something really special. Guilt welled up within her. She'd apologise when the magical being returned.

In a moment of pure impulse, she clicked on the notification, taking her to the same page as before. This time, she didn't hesitate, and clicked on the word no. Even if she had found her mate through the app, it meant nothing when he'd decided he didn't want her.

We're sorry to hear your date with Achilles didn't end in mating.
