Chapter 2

Chapter 2

In the afternoon, Nora wandered aimlessly through the pack’s territory.. familiar, yet somehow distant.

Her footsteps slowed, hesitating as she debated whether to share one last dinner with them before

leaving.

Her internal conflict was abruptly interrupted by a mind–link from Arnold, delivered in his usual clipped

and emotionless tone:

“Something came up. Dinner is canceled.”

Nora froze mid–step, her breath catching in her throat. She shouldn’t have been surprised. Disappointment had long since become a companion in her marriage.

It wasn’t the first time he’d canceled plans with her–and likely wouldn’t be the last.

After all, whether he was meeting a business partner, a friend, or even spending time with Linda, everything else seemed more important than her.

The shrill ring of the school bell jolted Nora from her daze.

It was then that she noticed her surroundings.

Unknowingly, her wandering feet had brought her to the school where Alex studied.

The gates swung open, releasing a flood of students.

Her gaze instinctively sought him out.

Alex stood out easily, his sharp features already reflecting Arnold’s near–perfect looks. He was going to be a striking man one day,

Nora’s lips parted, ready to call out to him, but the words died on her tongue.

A brilliant smile lit up Alex’s face–not for her–but for someone else.

He dashed across the crowd and threw his arms around a tall, long–haired woman.

“Aunt Linda! Did you come to pick me up for dinner?”

Linda’s smile was warm, but her eyes glinted with triumph.

“Of course, sweetheart. Your father is already waiting for us in the dining room.”
