CHAPTER EIGHT

Corrine woke up at the crack of dawn Monday thrilled to get back to her regular routine. She was only too happy to forget the chaos of her weekend.

After a quick shower and cup of coffee she made her way down to the bakery. The short walk to the building always helped her focus on the tasks for the day.

She was popping the first batch of muffins in the oven when MJ sauntered through the door. “Morning chickie. How great was it to sleep in your own bed?”

Corrine wasn’t sure if the grunt that came from MJ meant good or bad. “Hey, you never told me how things went at your parents’ place.”

“You want to talk about my problems first?” Shaking her head MJ walked right past her and straight to the fresh pot of coffee.

Setting to work on the next batch of goodies Corrine grinned. “Yep. You told me you’d tell me when you got home and I’m not ready to face my issues yet. Therefore, its your turn to spill.”

MJ snorted. “Let’s just say my parents have lost their minds and I’m not playing along. Don’t get me wrong, the guy they want to marry me off to is a damn good looking and fairly decent guy, but honestly, he didn’t have to look like he was going to the gallows whenever we were forced together. Which completely pissed me off more since this was his damn idea. Regardless, he isn’t the one for me and I refuse to settle.”

“What I don’t get is why they are trying to marry you off already? You won’t be Dewasa for a while and even then you have some time.” Corrine moved about the bakery’s kitchen on autopilot, keeping busy and her mind off her own problems.

“Come on, Rini. You know my being a hybrid is an issue. My parents have been lucky they’ve been allowed to stay within the Pride. When they met Devon a year ago at his mate’s funeral, they found out how supportive Devon’s parents have been of them. So when he approached them about marrying me last month, he told them he wanted someone in his life and even though he would never fall in love again, he would care for me and make sure all my wants were met. He knew my parents lamented the fact that I would never find a mate. They thought it was the perfect way to get those last few Purists off their asses and for their daughter to gain the mate she would never get on her own. In their minds its a win-win situation.”

“Except for you,” Corrine said softly.

“Yeah, what does my opinion matter? They have it set in their heads that I will never find a mate and would rather me be with someone who will provide and protect me than for me to be alone. Personally, I think they’re just trying to soothe their own guilt about having me.”

“Oh, MJ, that can’t be true. They love you to pieces.
