Chapter 4

“Florence?”

When I didn’t respond, Dylan must have sensed something was off.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

I forced myself to hold back the emotions that were about to burst out of me. My voice came out hoarse as I asked, “Dylan, do you still remember the oath you made to me?

“Do you remember saying you’d never betray me for the rest of your life?”

He once stood before the statue of the Moon Goddess and swore, “I, Dylan, swear before the sacred Moon Goddess that I will love only Florence for the rest of my life and never betray her. If I break this oath, may I be denied true love forever and die alone.”

I believed him. I gave him all my love with no reservations and treated him as the most important one in my life.

Now I watched as his hands roamed all over Leah. Leah was pressed against him, brushing her body slowly against his sensitive spots.

Dylan fought to keep his voice steady as he said, “Florence, don’t overthink it. I’m coming back tomorrow.”

He pushed Leah against the wall, one leg wedged between hers, one hand pinning both of her wrists above her head.

“I have to go. Bye.”

Before I could speak, the call ended.

Dylan kissed Leah’s collarbones hungrily, his eyes burning with a green-tinted desire.

“Tonight, I’m finally doing you.”

Leah looked up at him provocatively. “Well, that depends on whether you make me feel good.”

Watching my future mate and my dearest sister tangled together, I couldn’t hold myself back from throwing the car door open.

As I ran straight toward them, Dylan’s face went pale. He instinctively tried to explain, but before he could say a word, my palm cracked hard across his cheek.

“Dylan!”

My voice shook. All those once-beautiful vows shattered like bubbles, leaving nothing but tears on my face and a heart ripped apart.

“Dylan, you make me sick!”

I raised my hand to slap him again, but Leah grabbed my wrist.

“What gives you the right to hit him?”

My eyes burned red as I glared at her.

“Oh, right! I forgot to hit you, too!”

I swung my other hand and slapped Leah so hard that her face swelled on impact.

“Did you forget everything Mom and Dad taught you? How dare you cheat with your own sister’s future mate!”

I grabbed Leah by the hair and shoved her aside, then turned and hit Dylan again, who was still in a daze.

“Dylan, we’re done.

“Our mating alliance is over!”
