"What did you say?" Corbin shook his head as if he was not sure if he heard me correctly, but then he placed a hand on his chest as he felt the mate bond shaking.

"You rejected me?" he grimaced, tilting his head and fixing an angry glare on my face. I was hesitant and afraid of his reaction, but then the counselors started to walk out after sorting out everything for the night. I felt like it was my chance to leave.
