The Forgotten Promise (Shunned Hearts #1)

Prelude

What is it like to dream of your best friend as your one true love, the person you dream of as your soulmate, only to find out that they never shared those feelings?

How does it feel to be bound by an old promise of eternity, yet watch your best friend drift away with time?

Your heart carries their name, etched deep within for years, but what if their heart never beats for you?

It feels as though your entire world is intricately woven from their memories, each moment crafted around them, only to come to the gut-wrenching realization that you’ve always been a mere afterthought in their heart.

It's akin to having the very essence of your purpose snatched away, your dreams of a shared forever violently shattered, leaving you ensnared in an inescapable darkness.

The most painful part is that it's unspeakable because this torment has been inflicted by that one who holds your heart captive.

Because sometimes love is near but never yours. It’s forbidden, it’s hurtful.
