However, Shane Jagger, a junior colleague that she recently hired, suddenly takes the mic from her and bashfully says, "Ms. Richmond, I really didn't think that you would be making our relationship public so quickly.

Instead, I take off my project manager work badge and push it toward Shane instead, declaring, "I don't think just being part of the project is good enough for your status. You should be the project manager as well. Think of it as my gift to you for making your relationship public!"

Pendant cinq ans, mon compagnon destiné, l'Alpha Kaël, et moi avons vécu 98 cérémonies de marquage. Et chaque fois, ses crocs s'arrêtaient juste avant de m'atteindre le cou. Tout ça parce que l'Oméga qu'il disait considérer « comme une sœur » s'évanouissait toujours au moment parfaitement choisi. Lors de la 99ᵉ cérémonie, cette Oméga s'est de nouveau « blessée ». « Je te jure que je terminerai le marquage la prochaine fois », a dit Kaël en soulevant l'autre louve dans ses bras, sans même me jeter un regard. J'ai alors brûlé la robe de Luna que j'avais portée 99 fois, puis j'ai remis ma robe royale de princesse du Royaume d'Ombrelune. Ensuite, j'ai brisé le lien du destin et je suis partie sans me retourner. Ce n'est qu'au moment où Kaël a été frappé par une douleur brûlante et qu'il m'a suppliée de revenir que le Chaman lui a dit froidement : « Elle est une vraie princesse. Et toi, tu n'as jamais été digne d'elle. »
