The charity auction was everything I’d expected it to be–packed with socialites who were all dressed to the nines, elegant white linens and crystal chandeliers, and tables full of auction items lining the walls.
Alexander and I had been making the rounds for about an hour, his hand never moving away from its position on my lower back as we moved from table to table, examining the various items up for bid.
A weekend getaway to the mountains. A vintage wine collection. A private dinner with a celebrity chef.
All of it felt hollow and meaningless when so many other couples were bidding on the more intimate options, and all the while I was wearing a fake mark and pretending to be madly in love with a man who could barely stand to touch me.
“Smile,” Alexander murmured in my ear as a photographer approached. “Look interested in the jewelry.”
I plastered on my Luna smile and leaned closer to examine a diamond tennis bracelet on the table in front
of me. The photographer snapped a few pictures, and I made sure to angle my neck so the fake mark was clearly visible.
Just another performance in our endless charade.
Once the photographer grew tired of us, we moved to the next table, where Alexander struck up a
conversation with another Alpha about some business deal while I perused a collection of rare antique
books. I was actually reading the spines, trying to find something that Lilith might like, when I felt something slam into me from behind.
I stumbled forward, catching myself against the edge of the table, but I felt something catch on the corner
and snap against my neck. The delicate chain of Lilith’s locket broke, and I watched in horror as the piece of jewelry fell to the floor.
“Oh my Goddess, I’m so sorry!”
I turned to find Sophia standing behind me. She was wearing a stunning red dress, and her blonde hair was
swept up into an elaborate style.
“I didn’t see you there,” she said. “How clumsy of me!”
Before I could react, she stepped forward as if to help, but her heel came down directly on Lilith’s locket with a sickening crunch.
“No!” I gasped, hand flying to my throat as I stared down at the necklace. The delicate engravings were
