The Final Straw
While Alpha Leon danced with his assistant on the dance floor, I sipped wine with clients.
To avoid offending anyone, I let his intoxicated self brush his cold hand against my thigh.
Still, Leon never glanced at me. His attention was entirely on helping the assistant brush stray hair from her forehead, softly asking if she was hungry.
When the banquet ended, the assistant complained of boredom, and Leon immediately whisked her away, leaving me behind for the next round of festivities.
“The young shewolf’s been busy with work lately. I’m just taking her to relax.
“You don’t like bars, so don’t follow us.
“Also, I won’t be back tonight. We’ll postpone tomorrow’s marking to another day.”
We’d been together for five years. Although he gave me the title of Luna, he never marked me. This was the ninety-ninth time Leon Gray had unilaterally canceled marking me.
So, I nodded.
Since he was always busy, perhaps this marking was unnecessary.
