Lilith and I stood in the doorway watching Sophia and Sarah face off like two alley cats fighting over the same scrap of meat.

“You bitch!” Sophia shrieked, hurling what looked like a ceramic figurine at Sarah’s head. “You don’t belong here!”

Sarah dodged the projectile, causing it to shatter on the wall behind her. “At least I’m not some pathetic woman who can’t take a hint!”

“Pathetic? You’re a fucking maid who thinks she can seduce an Alpha!” Sophia’s face was turning an alarming shade of red. “You’re nothing! A nobody!”

“And everyone knows that you’re a spoiled Daddy’s girl!” Sarah shot back, hands on her hips.

I found myself staring at this absurd display of jealousy over Alexander, and something bubbled up in my chest. Not ánger or hurt or even embarrassment. Laughter.

Here I was, dying slowly because my mate wouldn’t complete our bond, and these two idiots were literally throwing pottery at each other over the chance to climb into bed with him.

It was so fucking ridiculous that I couldn’t believe I’d ever wasted a single second worrying about either of them, or Alexander, for that matter.

I was dying. Actually dying. And instead of spending my remaining time with people who genuinely cared

about me–people like Lilith and Liam–I’d been letting myself get worked up over… what?

What was the point? Even if Alexander marked me tomorrow, was this the kind of life I wanted? Constantly

defending my place, constantly worried about the next beautiful woman who might catch his eye?

Fuck that.

Lilith stepped up beside me. “Should we do something?” she whispered.

“Let them destroy each other,” I said, folding my arms across my chest and casually leaning against the wall. “I don’t care anymore.”

Sophia had just picked up another decorative object and was winding up to throw it when Alexander’s voice boomed through the foyer.

“What the hell is going on here?”
