It had been 24 hours before I finally decided to turn my phone back on. Just like I thought there would be. I had received about a hundred frantic texts and missed calls. They ranged between wanting to know what happened and pleading with me to talk to them. I just needed to put some distance between me and everything that had happened. By now Prince Griffin would have moved on. I clearly heard him say he would find a suitable Luna. All I did was make it easier on him.

I planned to move to my grandparents like I said I would, but instead of catching a flight, I would drive up there. I found a car lease company that had an office close to the WhiteOak pack. It would cost me three days instead of a two–and–a–half–hour flight but it was worth it. The last 24 hours had been a rollercoaster, and I just needed some time to myself. I hated that I could not stop thinking about Griffin. Even if it was just a lasting effect of the matebound. He had been kind to me in the few hours we spent together. And even if I knew we could never be together, I was curious to see if you could even find a second chance mate if you’ve been rejected before.

“Grandma, don’t worry I am fine. I’ll be home with you in two days. Can you ask Lina if we can meet up I have some questions” I texted my grandma who had been worried sick according to her texts.

There was no doubt she would tell my parents about the text, so this one text was enough to reassure everyone. Her answer was swift, telling me

to be safe. And that she would make sure Lina was available for a chat. Before going through the rest of my messages I decided to take a long hot shower in the motel room I planned to stay the night.

shower had helped make me feel a whole lot better, now I was on my way to a nearby diner for a late dinner. Nobody had to know it was my second dinner of the night. I needed to be careful nobody picked up on what was weird behavior for humans in this human city. All this time. I avoided reading my text messages. For the sole reason of not wanting to find out how much I had hurt my family and friends by leaving them in the dark. Jessa had to go home and introduce her mate to the pack

first text them it wasn’t needed and that I was coming home to discuss something with them. Mom started prying so I told her about Griffin. They

so I could get enough miles in during my road trip. With a heavy heart, I read through all the text messages. Never

wondered why he was doing

unfit to be a Luna. The rumors differed about what made her so unfit. The end conclusion was all the same though. The Alpha mate got a chosen mate and he kept the poor fated mate too. She lived in the packhouse with them. Every morning and night he would spend some time with her. Mating, without completing the process, using protection so she could not bear his pups. She loved her mate so much that she kept agreeing to it. Growing weaker and weaker from heartbreak every day. She could feel every time her

my family what he was planning. They would never agree with it and so they would never tell him anything about my whereabouts. Of course, as a Prince, he could force them but that would hurt his chances of me agreeing to this plan. Little did he know I would never agree to it.
