Alpha’s Temporary Companion
The night of our mating ceremony, my destined Alpha, Alex, basically tossed a three-year temporary mate bond agreement at me.
He said he only had eyes for one wolf girl, Lily, an Omega.
He told me he’d wait until the day he was in charge of the pack, then he’d personally cut our mate bond.
Lily would be his one and only.
That was until Lily had a huge fight with him and just up and vanished. Alex, after too many nights drowning his sorrows, accidentally marked me.
It seemed like he was finally starting to get that I was his real mate.
He even started willingly holding me as we fell asleep.
Just when I thought Alex had totally accepted me, Lily came back.
To save Lily’s mom, Alex didn’t think twice about giving up his own precious life force.
To make Lily happy, he publicly shamed me at the Moon Festival, even snatching the only moonstone bracelet my grandma had left me.
Lily smashed the bracelet, and my heart broke right along with it.
On our third bonding anniversary, Alex booked my favorite restaurant, wanting to say sorry.
But what he didn't know was that I’d already broken our mate bond. I wasn't going back.
