In my first life, Zoe’s appearance at the Acceptance Ceremony caught me completely off-guard. The media had a field day over the reunion of the so-called “star-crossed lovers”, leaving me floundering like a fish out of water. All I could do was force a smile and evade everyone’s questions, which only led to the media branding me as “petty” and “jealous”.

I would not let that happen again. This time, I knew she was coming. I would be prepared.

If I was going to do that, I was going to need some help. That meant confronting the one person besides Noah who would possibly know about Zoe’s upcoming arrival.

I snuck out into the living room, checking various rooms along the way, and found the entire house to be empty. Good. Noah followed his usual routine of leaving the house after our intimacy—or that night, the lack thereof—was over.

I grabbed my phone and scrolled through my contacts until I found the number for Noah’s half-brother and Beta, Scott.

Scott only lived about a ten minutes’ drive away from our house, but the wait felt like an eternity. At last, the doorbell rang, and I answered it to find Scott standing on the other side.

“Come in,” I offered, hoping to usher him past the niceties.

Scott inclined his head, then walked beyond me and into the living room.

“Please, have a seat.”

“I’d rather stand,” he said.

“Well, out with it,” I said as I stood in front of him, hands on my hips.

Scott raised a brow at me. He wasn’t accustomed to me being so forward and aggressive, but I was done playing games. That was part of what cost me my life the first time.
