Judy’s POV

Today was supposed to be the day my fated mate and I got engaged. But now I’m watching him kiss another woman. Marrying her could make him the future Alpha because she’s the daughter of Gavin Landry, the most powerful Lycan chairman in the world.

A couple of months ago, our Alpha died during a battle and now all the candidates are competing for that position, including my mate, Ethan.

Everyone knows the Lycan’s control the werewolf population. And Gavin? He could singlehandedly appoint everyone the new Alpha.

So, Ethan made his choice.

Her, not me.

“Get me a whiskey and a martini for the lady,” A deep voice sounded from nearby. “Is it the future bride, or the future groom that’s got you in a mood?”

“I’m just not into parties,” I decided to say.

“Nor am I,” he murmured. “I’m here out of obligation.”

The bartender placed my drink in front of me and I immediately took a sip, sighing in contentment. I waited for the alcohol to do its job and finish numbing the pain.

Every time Ethan kissed her it killed me a little more.

How had my life taken such a devastating turn? How could my fated mate do this to me? Did our 2 years together truly mean nothing? Did the mark on my neck mean that little to him?

“Thank you for the drink,” I told the man.

I took one last sip of my martini and started to get down from the stool, except my blouse snagged on the corner of the counter and just as I heard a tearing sound, I began to fall to the ground. I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the impact, but it never came.

Instead, I felt strong arms wrapping around my body, lifting me into the air. I opened my eyes and peeked up at the man who caught me, and my breath hitched.

He was so handsome.

He held me with ease as if I weighed nothing and I could tell from the feeling of his arms around me that he was muscular. He smiled down at me and a dimple appeared on his right cheek.

I wanted to lick that dimple.

“Madam, are you falling for me?” He asked teasingly.

I stared at him for a heartbeat longer before I squinted my eyes at him, seeing what he did there.

“You’re a funny one, aren’t you?”

He grinned. Then he looked at my shirt and immediately frowned.

“Let me take you to my suite upstairs,” he said, making my heart skip a beat.
