Lycan's Prey by Jessica Hall

Chapter 7

Rhett’s face contorts with anger, and a growl rips from him so loud it makes me jump and look up from the papers in time to see his hand. It connects with the side of my face, the force of the slap making me stumble back, only for him to grip my hair.

“Don’t you dare speak about your future, Luna, like that!” he snarls, shoving me backward.

I hold my stinging cheek, unable to comprehend the betrayal and cruelty from the man who’s supposed to be my mate.

“The wedding is off,” Rhett repeats, his tone icy. “You should be grateful I’m not locking you up.”

“Locking me up? But I did nothing wrong!” I scream at him before pointing a finger at Bianca; the conniving cow does nothing but smirk, and I know she is behind it, too smug for her own good.

“This is all her. Are you seriously that blind?” I reply. Rhett scoffs and folds his arms across his chest.

“The only thing I was blinded by was the mate bond. Biancal made me see the truth when we found your name on all the checks you wrote yourself!”

I shake my head; this can’t be happening. This is a nightmare, an absolute nightmare. Any minute, I will wake up and learn. that it’s all just a dream. I feel my future slipping away from me like sand in an hourglass.

“Excuse me?” I choke out, but Rhett just holds his hand up to silence me, his aura rushing out and crushing me. “If you behave, I might consider not banishing you once your debt is paid, considering you have nowhere else to go after turning your back on your old pack.”
