#Chapter17 CLARA
20 years ago…
I was a very bad person but it was so hard to hope for something else. The night before Samuel’s birthday when I went to bed, I prayed for hours to the moon goddess. Prayed that Samuel wouldn’t find his mate tomorrow. I prayed to the goddess to let him be my mate. I bribed the goddess, pleaded with her, and promised to do anything she would want from me. I knew it was cruel of me to pray for that. He wanted to find his mate more than anything in the world and I was asking the goddess to make him wait. I wouldn’t be seventeen in a year and I was praying to the goddess to make him wait a year for me. It was all I could do though, to pray to the goddess to make him my mate because I knew he would never look at me otherwise. I would always be his best friend’s little sister and I wanted to mean more to him.
