My Cursed Mate

"Nate bends his neck and captures my lips in a kiss. Yes, Nathanial kissed me. The kiss starts off a little sloppy because I wasn’t expecting it, but I close my eyes and enjoy the feel of his lips against mine. I kiss him with the same passion as he kisses me. I move my hands from around his neck and pass them through his hair. I feel his arms around my waist, and for that moment, I forget everything in the world and just enjoy kissing my mate. We break apart once we’re both out of breath." *** Liz has been told to reject her mate all her life, but her mom refuses to explain why. One day Liz meets her mate and does the opposite.
