Bound to Mate Novel

Heartbroken and humiliated, the protagonist endures the worst day of her life after being rejected by Asher. She hides in the library, crying as the school day drags on, while hallway gossip about her rejection spreads like wildfire. Students point and laugh openly at her misfortune. When she finally escapes the building, she's confronted with a devastating sight: her sister Tala is passionately kissing Asher right before her eyes. The intimate display is painful enough, but what truly shatters her is realizing that Tala notices her watching and deliberately deepens the kiss with a cruel smirk on her face. In that moment, everything becomes clear. Though she always knew her sister harbored hatred toward her, she never imagined Tala would stoop so low as to orchestrate Asher's rejection and flaunt their relationship so callously.
