Inside the VIP room, the football team laughed. Their words were slick with mockery.“So Chloe’s just a toy to you.”“Want me to text her not to come? Keep her from crawling into your bed while you’re in rut. Seriously, girls who throw themselves at you are always so cheap.”Justin stopped him. His body burned with fever as he growled.“Forget it. If I tell her not to come now, what will she think?”“She’s a toy, yeah. But she’s one I’ve protected since we were kids. I don’t want to humiliate her.”“When she gets here, I'll see if I can keep my hands off her.”“There are some things I don’t want to say out loud. This is a good chance for her to learn her place.”I wanted to storm in. I wanted to scream in his face.You don’t want to humiliate me? You let your friends laugh while you call me a pathetic pet begging for scraps. And I was supposed to love you for all these years?But I held back. I turned and walked away. No tears. I wouldn't waste them on him.I thought for a moment. Then

The other pack enforcers staged a rebellion.“He’s right! Last month’s full moon. You stared at Chloe’s social media page until you were delirious. Muttering her name in your sleep. I bet your dreams were full of her, too!”“And the month before that! You parked outside her apartment all night. You almost got out so many times. But you always stopped yourself.”“If we stay quiet, Chloe will never know! Are you planning to suffer alone forever?”“Shut up. I can handle it,” Garrett said. His eyes dropped.The doctor practically jumped.“Handle my ass! Keep this up and you’re dead by dawn!”“Miss! What are you standing there for? Soothe him!”The enforcers dropped to one knee again. Deeply respectful.But… “What do I do? I don’t know how.”The doctor rapidly cut away the blood-soaked bandages.“Kiss him! Your scent will soothe him!”My face burned. I wasn't that bold.I stood by the bed. I had no idea how to kiss this man. Especially with an audience.Suddenly, the Beta shouted.“Chloe, d

Garrett’s words hung in the air. A heavy threat. “Don’t regret it later.”Justin paused. Then he laughed.“I won’t.”“If she stopped clinging to me, I’d laugh in my sleep.”“But bro, give up on Chloe.”“Even if I move on, Chloe can’t.”“She only has me. No room for anyone else.”“She plans on clinging to me for life.”“Hey, you’re not using your Alpha dominance to force her, are you?”“You can’t force love. You might get her body, but you’ll never have her heart. Why bother?”I was sick of Justin’s toxic confidence.I was terrified Garrett would back down. That he’d push me away again.I had to act. I straddled him.Through the thin fabric, his scorching heat burned against me.I wrapped my arms around his neck. I let my warm breath ghost over his pulse point. I gently nipped his earlobe.Garrett was already trapped in a vortex of desire. He couldn’t handle the fatal stimulation.His broad back went rigid. Hard as iron.His throat worked violently. His heavy, hot breaths fanned across

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the blinds into my apartment.I had slipped out of the hospital through a private elevator before dawn.My phone was vibrating like crazy on the vanity.The screen was full of missed calls from Garrett’s Pack Warriors.I answered.A guard’s anxious voice shot through the phone.“Chloe! Where are you? The Alpha woke up and you were gone. He’s losing his mind!”“He thinks you regretted it and ran off. His wound tore open again and he won’t let the doctors near him!”I looked at myself in the mirror.My neck was covered in the red, tell-tale marks from last night.“I just came back to my apartment to change. I’ll be right there.”I hung up and quickly sent Garrett a text.“Wait for me. I’m dressing up just for you.”Two minutes later, the guard called again.This time, he was trying to hold back laughter.“Chloe, the Alpha saw your text.”“He was so stunned he knocked his water glass right over.”“His ears are bright red and he can’t stop smilin

The brass gates of the Sterling Estate closed behind me.Under the crystal chandelier, Garrett’s mother stared at me, then back at Garrett, stunned.“My god, Garrett. You told us last week you were bringing home your future Luna,” she covered her mouth in shock. “And it’s Chloe?”I stood beside Garrett, smiling and greeting Mr. and Mrs. Sterling.Garrett’s arm was a steel band around my waist. The powerful scent of a top Alpha was a tangible shield, wrapping me in his territory.“It was always her. No one else,” Garrett’s voice was low and certain.His mother immediately took off the heirloom moonstone necklace from her own neck and put it on me.“This necklace is passed down to every Luna of the Sterling family. Chloe, welcome home.”The roar of a sports car engine sounded from outside.Justin walked into the dining room right at dinner time, his arm around Britney.Last month, he’d made a big show of their relationship on social media. The photo showed him kissing Britney passionatel
