I kept zooming in on the photo Diane had posted.The mansion in the background was in the most exclusive neighborhood in pack territory.The homes were worth millions of dollars and were available only for purchase, never rent.My fingertips went ice cold.Right after we became mates, Ron had slumped in front of me and confessed that his investments had gone south, leaving him buried in debt.He'd slapped himself across the face, his expression twisted with shame, calling himself a disgrace to the pack.My heart broke for him. I sold everything I owned and worked five jobs a day, waking before dawn and collapsing after dark, saving every cent I could to pay off his debt.Even now, we were still living in a run-down rental.When I was most exhausted, I'd lean against his chest, look at photos of the neighborhood, and dream out loud."Someday, when we have money, we're buying a house there. With a huge floor-to-ceiling window so I can see the view whenever I want."Ron had run his finger

Ron frowned, as if I were the one being unreasonable."Sarah, Kelly felt bad for you and asked us to come keep you company. Is this how you repay us?"With a sister as good as Kelly, you should be grateful!"His words nearly drove my wolf out of control."Because of her, my mate, my family, and my friends all betrayed me. Am I supposed to thank her for that?"Get out!"Ron's face went stone cold."Sarah, I'm not going to abandon Kelly."You're not thinking clearly right now. I'll let today slide. Whenever you come to your senses, I'll come back!"With that, he turned and left.Aisha gave me a pitying look. "Sarah, just accept it. In Ron's heart, you'll never matter as much as Kelly.""I'm telling you this as a friend."I wanted to be sick."Aisha, you're a hypocrite."Her expression soured at my words.Without another word, she followed Ron out.The house went completely silent.Ron didn't come back.Diane and Aisha stopped hiding their posts from me.[My one and only precious daughter

It took Ron several days to remember I existed.He'd spent every moment of those days fussing over Kelly.When Kelly said her hands were cold, he warmed them.When Kelly said her stomach hurt, he scrambled for a doctor.But gradually, the image of my ashen face on the day he left started creeping back into his mind."Maybe I should check on her. I already broke the mark, but she's still carrying my child."If she's willing to back down, I'll deign to forgive her."Ron went to my hospital room.He was in for a disappointment.He pushed open the door and found nothing but an empty room.The hospital bed was empty. I was gone.He grabbed the nurse who was tidying up, frantic."Where's the patient who was here?"The nurse gave him a strange look."She left days ago. Are you family? Then how come you didn't know she'd been discharged?"Ron's face twisted for a moment before he forced it back to composure.Because he was sure this was just my way of playing hard to get.A few more days of th

Ron sat alone in the room all night.He kept asking himself how it had come to this.In the beginning, he'd been determined to build a good life with me.He'd started to forget Kelly. Little by little, I became the only woman he loved and the only one he saw.But then Kelly came back, and everything changed.Kelly was a thorn he could never pull out.Every time he saw her, the memories of that failed love came flooding back.He began looking for ways to prove himself.So when Kelly lay in his bed in a lace negligee, he didn't turn her away.After that, things spiraled out of control.More and more, Ron's loyalty shifted toward Kelly.Gradually, I stopped existing for him.Because he assumed I was devoted to him beyond question.He believed that whenever he looked back, I'd still be standing where he'd left me.He was wrong.If he could turn back time, he would have resisted the temptation.But there was no turning back. I was gone.And finding me again would not be easy.I knew nothing

In the distance, I spotted Allen walking toward me.I stepped around Ron and went to meet him.Seeing me standing beside Allen, Ron lost it."Who the hell is this guy?"Sarah, the ink's barely dry on our split and you're already running around with some other man?!"The sheer audacity left me speechless.I was about to fire back, but Allen caught my hand.He gave my hand a reassuring pat and moved me behind him."So you're Sarah's idiot ex-mate who worshipped the woman who cheated on him?"Ron's face turned livid."What did you just say?!"He lunged at Allen with a snarl.Allen sent him flying with one punch."Pathetic. A guy like you, and you've still got the nerve to play the first-love card."He turned to me."Babe, your taste in men used to be terrible."Good thing you found me."His playful expression made me smile.This time, the smile was genuine.I looked down at Ron, who was picking himself up off the ground."Ron, I'm saying this for the last time. There is no chance for us.
