Natasha

The pack celebration was in full swing. There was music, dancing and laughter echoing through the great hall.

It should have been beautiful and joyful. Instead it was torture, because Mikhail was dancing with Irina.

Her arms were around his neck, her body pressed close, that confident smile on her perfect face. She said something that made him nod, and Dimitri watched from the side with obvious approval.

I stood near the refreshment table, a glass of wine clutched in my hand, watching

    Natasha"We could go to Romania."Mikhail spread a map across the small table in the abandoned cabin we found deep in the territory. It was our secret meeting place, far from any pack patrols."There's a community of wolves who have left their packs there. They don't ask questions and they don't report to the major alphas. We could disappear there."I studied the map, my heart racing. This was real. We were actually doing this."How far?""Two days if we drive straight through. Less if we fly, but that's riskier. More cameras and more records," His finger traced a route. "We take my truck and use back roads mostly. I've got money saved, enough to get us there and keep us afloat for a few months while we figure things out.""And after Romania?""Then we see," He looked up at me. "Maybe we stay. Maybe we move again. The point is we'll be together and free."Free. The word felt foreign. I had never been free. Not really. I was always bound by pack hierarchy, by my position as Dimitri’s

    Mikhail"I'm pleased to announce that Irina has formally accepted Mikhail's courtship."Dimitri's voice rang out over the assembled pack, and my stomach dropped to the floor."The official mating ceremony will take place in three weeks' time. I expect everyone to—"The rest of his speech faded to white noise. He was giving me three weeks before I was bound to Irina forever.Around me, pack members applauded and congratulated me. Irina stood beside Dimitri, smiling like she had won a prize. I forced myself to nod, accept the well-wishes and play the part of the honored future mate. Inside, I was screaming.When I could finally escape, I found myself walking toward the forest without conscious thought. I walked away from the house and the pack, the trap closing around my throat.Natasha was already there when I arrived at the clearing we had claimed as ours, deep enough in the woods that no one would stumble across us, but close enough we could reach it quickly when we were desperate.

She was smiling, oblivious to the knife she was twisting in my chest."Yes," I managed. "Very good.""Dimitri says they'll announce the mating soon. Probably within the month," She sighed dreamily. "It'll be such a beautiful ceremony."I downed the rest of my wine in one swallow."Easy there," Svetlana laughed. "It's strong stuff."I didn't care. I needed some

    Mikhail"You need to move this forward."Dimitri's voice was firm as he cornered me in his office Monday morning. A week had passed since that first dinner, and apparently my pace wasn't satisfactory."I've been spending time with her," I said carefully. "I have been getting to know her.""That's not enough," He leaned against his desk, arms crossed. "Irina's father is expecting progression. He's not going to wait forever.""It's been a week, Dimitri.""And in that week, you haven't even kissed her," His eyes narrowed. "Why is that?"Because the thought of kissing her makes me want to vomit. Because my body won't respond to anyone who isn't Natasha."I'm taking it slow. Being respectful." I said instead."There's been respectful and then there's been cold." He studied me. "She mentioned you seem distant and uninterested. That's not the impression we want to give.""I'm not uninterested. I just—""She's perfect for you, Mikhail. She is strong, intelligent and beautiful. She is from an

    NatashaI saw Mikhail and Irina, walking through the gardens together from the infirmary window. The midday sun caught her dark hair, making it shine like polished obsidian. She was laughing at something he said, or pretending he had said something funny. Her hand was on his arm again and my chest constricted so tight I couldn't breathe.This was the third day. It had been three days of watching her pursue him, touch him and smile at him like she already owned him. It had been three days of torture disguised as courtship."Beautiful couple, aren't they?"I jerked away from the window to find Mary, one of the older pack healers, standing behind me with supplies."I suppose." I managed, my voice remarkably steady."Irina is quite accomplished. Dimitri chose well." She began organizing bandages. "It will be good for Mikhail to settle down. He's been distracted lately."Distracted by me. By us. By sneaking moments we stole in the darkness."Yes," I said hollowly. "Good for him."I for

    MikhailI had to look away before I did something stupid. Before I shoved Irina's hand off my arm and crossed the room to pull Natasha into my arms and tell everyone the truth."Are you alright?" Irina asked, noticing my distraction."Fine. Just tired.""Of course. Dimitri mentioned you've been working hard lately," She squeezed my arm sympathetically. "When we're mated, I'll make sure you take proper care of yourself. A strong wolf needs rest as much as he needs a challenge."When we're mated. Not if. When.She had already decided. She already saw this as a done deal.The rest of dinner passed in a blur of meaningless conversation. Irina talked about her pack, her accomplishments and her vision for what she could bring to our territory. Alpha Konstantin and Dimitri discussed potential alliance benefit, and I sat there, Irina's hand on my arm, feeling absolutely nothing while the woman I actually loved sat at the end of the table pretending she wasn't falling apart."I think this has
