A Mate of Convenience

De: Marisa Jags

“Lystra, I feel the pull to her too,” Jordan spoke up making me fall back to my seat. “I feel the pull to the both of you.” The last sentence a bit softer.
“What does that mean?” I wasn’t sure if I was shouting or whispering.
My body went cold. I felt as if my soul was trying to escape the confinement of my skin as if I was floating outside my own body but still glued to the table.
“Lystra, you have to understand, you and Noella were once one being. The mate of a twin can feel the connection to both of them.”
“But do you feel the mate bond, Noella?” I asked my sister who still hadn’t let Jordan’s hand go. What a fool I was, they both were holding hands not just her.
“I feel something more, I love him.” She defended.
“I love her too.” Jordan’s words echoed in my head.
“She isn’t your mate. I am.” I argued.
“No Lystra, she is my mate. I get to choose. I chose her.”
I heard him, but the words ‘I love her too’ in his voice was still repeating in my head. Too much to process with the sound of blood in my head.
*****
This is the story of Lystra Miller's life after she was rejected and before finding that happily ever after. A she-wolf whose mate rejected her for her human sister. In a universe where only one in a set of twins is blessed with the ability to shift, this she-wolf lost her mate to her human twin. Lystra watches her sister and mate live their epic love story for years, then tries to move on when they give birth to a son. Her life is full of tragic and bittersweet moments, but yes she finds love along the way. She would learn not all choices are good ones, but every choice is one you can decide to live by. She will not be A Mate of Convenience. Not even to her mate when he admits to his mistakes.

A stand-alone book.

Interesting and unexpected plot

I like when common tropes get an additional or different lore added. How the mate bond works and the dynamic of twins adds a very interesting twist to the typical werewolf romance. Though there are very few redeemable characters, I really liked the story. The path to growth was very difficult, but worth it despite the untraditional happy ever after.
