Lumi
Two years ago, a rogue wolf's bullet took my sight.
The day I got it back, I couldn't wait to share the news with my Alpha mate Lucian.
But outside the door, I overheard Lucian talking with his Beta.
"Alpha, the Luna has been blind for two years. Just so you could be with your first love, you used a witch's potion to mask Silas's scent, and then you begged the Moon Goddess to tie her bond to him... Aren't you afraid the two of them will actually sleep together?"
Alpha Lucian took a sip of his drink, his voice smug.
"Silas has the best self-control of any wolf in the pack. Back in training, he could stay clear-headed even after he was drugged.
"Besides, since Leona lost her eyes, she has had almost no interest in sex. She lives inside her own shame now."
The Beta couldn't resist teasing him. "Honestly, I can't decide whether to pity the Luna or wonder whether Silas even likes women. The Luna is the most beautiful woman in the pack, and those two just talk and nothing ever happens. What a waste!"
"Then you take Silas's place next time and keep Leona entertained."
The laughter that followed grated in my ears.
I looked at Alpha Silas, sitting in the corner.
Aloof, sparing with words, his profile clean and sharp.
A man that fine, that striking, left to go to waste. It really was a shame.
