99 Betrayals, One Broken Bond
I'm Alpha Kaelen's fated mate. It took him ninety-nine tries to win me over, and every wolf in the pack knows he loves me more than life itself.
But after we were mated, he started breaking his promises.
My birthday, our anniversary... he always had an excuse.
"Sorry, baby, an important ally is visiting. I have to be there."
"Honey, there's trouble on the border. I have to handle it. You'll have to spend your birthday alone."
Every time he bailed, he'd give me a ridiculously expensive house to make up for it.
So, even though I was disappointed, I still believed he loved me.
Until the day he gave me the ninety-ninth house. That's when I got the photo from his ex-girlfriend, Eileen.
In the picture, Kaelen was asleep beside her, completely unguarded.
"Did he tell you he had pack business last night? The truth is, I told him I wasn't feeling well, and he came running. ;)"
So all ninety-nine times before... it was always her.
My heart shattered. This time, I was the one to hand over the papers. The one-hundredth property transfer. And tucked inside, I'd added something a little extra: our bond dissolution papers.
Kaelen didn't even look. He signed it without a second thought.
And in one month, on the night of the full moon, our bond would officially be broken.
