| sat brooding in the bar, surrounded by pounding music and swirling fog from the smoke machines. “How dare
she prepare divorce papers?” | muttered, glaring at my drink. “And she really thought | wouldn’t sign them?” My
lips twisted into a bitter grin. “Well, | sure crushed that little plan, didn't 1?”
Selene wasn't just boring - she was manipulative. The night we “met” was still crystal clear in my mind. She'd
been eighteen, and I'd just turned twenty-one. She druggedthat night, and | woke up next to her in a hotel
bed. There was no doubt in my mind that she was behind it.
I'd hated her ever since, especially after my father forcedto marry her.

She must have begged my father to make it happen. As a gamma’s daughter, being Luna was way out of her
league - unless she trapped me. And my father, always playing the perfect, compassionate pack leader, didn’t
think twice about sacrificing his own son’s happiness. Even worse, he'd used my future position as alpha to
blackmailinto the marriage.
The fact that she could schlike that at eighteen showed just how devious she was.
Though we'd slept together, | never felt the mate bond with her. That's why | never marked her. She didn’t
deserve my mark anyway, and being wolfless, it wouldn't have mattered. Oddly enough, my wolf had some
weird soft spot for Selene, despite her not having a wolf of her own.
But fate had smiled on me. | met Ruby - sexy, gorgeous Ruby. Better yet, when | asked about a scar on her arm, |
discovered she was the little girl who'd saved my life when | was a kid. Now she was savingagain, coming to
the bar to comfortafter hearing about the divorce.
| felt her hand on my thigh and turned to her.
She pressed againstand whispered, “Don’t worry about her. She never deserved you. Be withinstead. I'll
never leave you.” She stood and held out her hand. “Cwith me,” she purred.
| took her hand, following her through the crowd until we reached one of the bar's private rooms. She pulled me
inside and closed the door.
Her curves were drivingcrazy, and | pushed her onto a couch, ready to take her right there. But my wolf
went ballistic. ‘Stop! You'll regret sleeping with her!" he warned telepathically. ‘She’s not our mate.”
His reaction confused me. ‘If you're so against Ruby because she’s not our mate, why are you so attached to
that wolfless woman?‘ | snapped back.
He dodged my question. “Try this, and I'll take control,’ he threatened.
| couldn't risk that. Sighing, | pulled away from Ruby.
“What's wrong?” she frowned.
“You're too pure,” | said, patting her hand. “I want to wait for the right time.”
A lexcuse, but what else could | say?
Later, | headed home, frustrated that both my father and my wolf were controlling my life. My driver kept
nervously checking his rearview mirror - my mood must have been obvious. When we pulled up to the house, |
spotted Selene leaving with a heavy suitcase.

My anger boiled over. | jumped out, slammed the car door, and stormed toward her. She froze when she saw me.
“Where do you think you're going?” | demanded, eyeing her luggage.
“I already told you,” she said softly.
“Toldwhat?” | roared.
She flinched.
Pathetic. If my normal voice scared her this much, what would my alpha voice do to her?
“I'm leaving your house and your pack,” she whispered.
| sneered. Who was she kidding? She couldn't leave without permission from my parents, the head Alpha and
Luna. “What's wrong? Too ashamed to stay in my pack?” | taunted.
She looked away like a frightened kitten.
“You coward. You have nowhere to go. No pack would dare shelter their future alpha’s ex-wife. You're still bound
to this pack. Cross the boundary, and the wolves will tear you apart.”
She started crying those fake tears of hers. Disgusted, | brushed past her toward the house. But just as | reached
the door, the sobbing stopped. | turned around to see her collapsed on the ground.
