ANMELDENDuring a train ride, I happen to notice an intimidating-looking man staring at his phone while seated next to me. Surprisingly enough, an R-rated scene is playing out on his screen. Out of the kindness of my heart, I remind the man not to watch such things in a public setting. Without raising his head, he replies coldly, "This is the security footage of my home." Feeling very awkward, I quickly apologize to him. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know that. I'm really sorry." Just as I'm about to say something else, the male protagonist of the footage suddenly raises his head. At that moment, I feel my blood going cold in my veins. After all, he's Reynolds Mitchell, the fiance with whom I'm supposed to partake in a mating ceremony next month.

"Is he ever going to give it up?"I stood to go deal with him, but Cade caught my arm. "Trash like that isn't worth your time."I looked back at him. "So, what do you suggest?"He slowly curved his lips into a smile. "Leave it to me."I didn't know exactly what he did. All I knew was that from that day on, Reynolds' life spiraled.First, he was utterly humiliated within the pack. He couldn't walk ten feet without someone pointing and whispering.Then, he somehow offended the wrong people and lost his job.His health never recovered either. The old wounds healed poorly, and he eventually just broke.As for Alia, her pack ran into trouble, too, and her reputation hit rock bottom.She went from walking tall on her pack's name to ducking her head every time she stepped outsi
The meeting took place in a highly exclusive, private restaurant.It was just Cade and me in the private room.He was leaning back into the couch with a glass of wine in front of him. He looked as relaxed as a man on vacation.The second I sat down, I cut straight to the chase. "You knew about your fiancee and Reynolds all along, didn't you? And you knew exactly who I was."He watched me for two seconds, then gave a nod. "I did.""So, running into me on the train was intentional?""Yes."I let out a sharp laugh. "Well, points for honesty."Cade arched an eyebrow. "You've already pieced it together. What's the use in lying?"As I stared at him, my fury flared up again. "So, what am I to you? Just a convenient pawn? A useful idiot who happened to cross your path?"Cade didn't answer immediately. He looked down and swirled his glass. After a few silent seconds, he spoke."Yes, I used you. But I didn't frame you, and I didn't frame Reynolds. He cheated, and you were betrayed. Th
Reynolds looked deathly pale. His voice was barely a thready whisper as he said, "It's not what you think with Alia."I almost laughed out loud. "Not what I think? Reynolds, I saw it with my own eyes. What possible explanation could you have?"He pressed his lips together, as if summoning all his resolve."I admit, I wasn't in my right mind. She kept tempting me, telling me that we weren't officially marked yet and I didn't have to take responsibility… I just lost control."I stood by the bed, my stomach churning more with every word.He sounded so entitled, as if this were just a minor lapse in judgment rather than a devastating betrayal.To him, it was just a minor mistake."So?" I cut him off. "Are you trying to tell me you still love me and she was just a she-wolf you slept with in a moment of weakness?"Reynolds looked away, his silence a deafening confession.At that moment, I genuinely wanted to stab him again.My voice was as cold as a winter grave as I asked, "Reynol
The moment I stepped out of the hospital entrance, I ran straight into Mom.She charged at me with fury and slapped me across the face. "What is wrong with you? You don't answer your phone, you won't come home, and you won't go to the hospital! Just what exactly are you trying to do?"My head snapped to the side from the blow, and my temper finally boiled over. "Mom, do you honestly still think I'm going through with the marking ceremony with Reynolds?""Of course!"She glared at me, her eyes red-rimmed. "You insisted on being with him in the first place! You've come this far. You can't just give up!""I'd rather die than go back to him."Mom started shaking with rage. Suddenly, she turned and bolted toward the middle of the busy street.Shocked, I lunged forward to grab her. "Are you crazy?"She sobbed, gasping for air. "Yes, I'm crazy! You won't go to the hospital? You won't swallow your pride? Fine! Then I'll just die right here in front of you!"My head felt like it was go
