Chapter 8

Author: Stars
My best friend called, fuming. "Good thing you got out when you did. You have no idea how out of control Alaric and Vivienne have gotten."

She sent me a string of screenshots — posts Alaric had made online. Since I had blocked him long ago, I'd had no idea.

Most of the posts were him showing off his nightlife. But the majority featured Vivienne.

One was a selfie of the two of them tangled together the morning after, captioned: "You changed on me, and the pain drove me to look for your shadow in

Two great packs united — together, we grew stronger than either had been alone.To put an end to Alaric's obsession once and for all, Dorian used his authority as Alpha to banish him from the pack, with orders never to return.But Alaric wasn't done.

But the majority featured Vivienne.One was a selfie of the two of them tangled together the morning after, captioned: "You changed on me, and the pain drove me to look for your shadow in someone else. Remember — you made me this way."He never said my name outright, but everyone who knew us understood exactly who he meant.Another photo showed Vivienne in my old room, wearing my pajamas, with Alaric holding her from behind. The caption read: "This still smells like you. But everything's changed now. I wonder if that other man will ever see you the way I did."Post after post, all painting the same picture: that I had cheated first, that he was just a brokenhearted man seeking co

    Dorian's father announced to the entire pack that Dorian would succeed him as Alpha. The succession ceremony would take place in two months.When Alaric heard the news, it knocked the ground out from under him. And with it came the truth about who I really was.The regret was instant and all-consuming.He booked a red-eye flight to my pack and, after asking around, found my home.He camped outside my front door for an entire night, waiting until I finally opened it the next morning.The happiness of the past weeks had nearly erased him from my mind. So when I saw that familiar face again, I froze for a beat.Alaric forced a strained smile. "Sophie — what are you doing here? Do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you?"I wasn't interested in his act. I got straight to the point. "You know who I am now, don't you? So tell me — did you come looking for Sophie? Or for the tool that can hand you the Alpha title?"His smile froze on his face. But he recovered quickly, shameless

    My parents had already announced the alliance to the press.Two great packs uniting through marriage was major news among the packs. Dozens of reporters had been waiting at the airport.When Alaric saw the photos and realized it was me, the shock left him frozen for a long time.He tried calling, only to find I had blocked him. Desperate, he borrowed a friend's phone."Sophie, who the hell are you? Why would you —"Dorian's voice cut across before he could finish. "Sophie, there's a banquet tonight. Let me take you home to rest first."Not too loud, not too soft — just enough for Alaric to hear on the other end."Sophie, where are you right now?" Alaric demanded.I had no patience for this. "That's none of your business. Whatever we had is over, Alaric. Stop contacting me."I hung up, blocked the number, and deleted it.I let out a breath and turned to Dorian, a little embarrassed. "Sorry about that. Some personal matters I hadn't finished dealing with."Dorian just smiled. "That's alr

    Over the next few days, I packed my things.At some point, the bedroom door opened behind me. Alaric wrapped his arms around me from behind and whispered, "I shouldn't have snapped at you last time. Just let me finish up some work, and then I'll file my own paperwork to leave the pack.""Don't worry. I'd never abandon you."His voice was soft, but someone else's perfume was all over his clothes, and it made my stomach turn.I pulled free from his grip and brushed off my sleeve, like I'd touched something filthy.Alaric's jaw tightened.I placed the last piece of clothing into my suitcase and looked around the room — the house I had lived in for five years. Every corner held a memory of us.Against my better judgment, I gave him one last chance. "Becoming Alpha is every male wolf's dream. Would you really give that up for me?"Something flickered across Alaric's face. He was quiet for a long time before he spoke. "The truth is, I —"His phone rang before he could finish. Alaric answered

  • My Fiancé Tricked Me into Leaving the Pack   Chapter 2

    The winter wind bit into my face the second I stepped outside.It was the only thing that snapped me out of it.So this was what betrayal felt like — a pain that cut all the way to the bone. And from the person I loved most.He was the one who had taken my hand and sworn he loved me.He was the one who had promised he'd never leave, not when I was at my loneliest and most helpless.When his arms had wrapped around me, I'd felt so safe, so happy, like nothing in the world could touch us. I had sworn to myself we'd be together forever.And now? All of that was a lie?When it came down to ambition versus love, love didn't stand a chance.I wandered the streets in a daze, letting the freezing wind sting my face raw.Then I stopped. The grief cracked open, and underneath it was something harder — something cold and clear.Alaric had thrown me away for the advantages Vivienne could offer him.What he didn't know was that Vivienne was nothing more than an illegitimate daughter with no real st
