A Rose That Refuses to Die
Even though I've been with Eric Blackclaw, the heir to the Alpha title, for three years, he's still unwilling to mark me.
Later, he falls in love at first sight with my stepsister, Layla Talbot. Thus, he begins courting her in a grand manner in the pack.
This time, I no longer throw a tantrum, nor do I question Eric like I did before. Instead, I just burn all the gifts he's given me and rip my gown for our marking ceremony into shreds.
On Eric's birthday, I leave Northpine Woods on my own.
Before I board the private jet bound for another continent, Eric sends me a message via the mind-link.
"Avril, why aren't you here yet? Everyone's waiting for you."
I don't respond to Eric at all. This time, I just sever my mind-link with Eric.
What he doesn't know is that I've already accepted Alpha Marcus Howler's mating proposal to me half a month ago.
Once the private jet lands in the new territory located in Frosthill Mountains, Marcus and I will become mates with the Moon Goddess as our witness.
