I took a deep breath, preparing to unfold the tangled threads of my encounter with Christy and the emotions Natalie had awakened within me. "Yeah, what... DID?" Alex emphasized, his voice laced with curiosity. His gaze drifted away, fixated on a captivating figure across the room. I followed his line of sight, and my heart skipped a beat. Christiana stood poised, radiant in a stunning green lace dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. The garment shimmered under the light, accentuating her beauty.

Without hesitation, I yank her hand toward me to make sure what I’m seeing is indeed a ring on her finger. “What’s this? You’re engaged?” She allows her hand to linger for a moment, but then, with force, she pulls it back. Her face looks slightly guilty, then it quickly transforms into anger. “Jeremy is my fiancé.” Before I can ask who the hell Jeremy is, Kate comes and steps in between me and Lena.

The mate bond definitely sent me into overdrive. Once the door was closed I slammed Matthew against the door a lot harder then I meant to. He hissed in pain but I didn't stop as I roughly grabbed his face for a kiss. I forced my tongue in his mouth and he didn't fight me as I took control. I have a nature dominance but he is a born Alpha and he has been waiting for me for 3 years so I know this whole thing is hard for him.

She placed her hand in his. “Yes. I, Mary Adams, accept you, son of David Lightwood, and Alpha of the Lightwood pack as my mate.” The hall erupted in cheers. “What is happening?” I whispered, the words breaking inside me. My chest tightened, and my vision blurred. “Mary… Brandon… When did...how...? But he told me...he promised me.” I stood up immediately, unable to control my disappointment, and my chair scraped the floor. “Brandon!” My voice cracked. “My sister? I thought… I thought I was your fated mate. You told me

Kieran said behind us, me and Felipe turned to him. “Alpha Kieran, she is my mate. That is why I am here…,” Brent explained. Kieran growled threatening, Brent might be an Alpha but I knew he was a coward with no brain or strengths. He would never be in the same match with Kieran. “She is mine, and she already told you she rejected you…,” Kieran said. “If she won't come with me then I have to fight you for her…,” Brent paused, then looked from me to Kieran
