Darien requested to be left alone for a while, and I happily gave that to him. As I exited his room, I leaned my head against his closed door, riddled with sadness. This man is good at hiding his emotions, and I hated the pain he was in. I wanted to do anything and everything to stop it. Why did this have to happen to him? I love Darien like a brother, and it agonized me to see him like that, holding out for hope that Odessa would realize her mistake and come back into his arms.

What if that never happens? What if her love for Neron was stronger than her bond with Darien? I never pegged Odessa as the type to crave power, but then again, I don’t truly know anyone here. I don’t know what their true intentions are. As much as I hated the woman, I hoped she could prove me wrong.

“You should have stayed dead, you worthless dog!” She shrieked in my ear. Her nostrils flared as she took a huge whiff of me, her brown eyes growing black. “And you smell like him! Stay away from my mate!”

Was she serious? I look at her incredulously. Was she demanding me to stay away from Darien when she

rejected him less than 24 hours ago?

“I bet you went up there to fuck him, you slut.” Odessa accused. “A wretched mateless wolf now trying to steal mates away from each other. Ha! You think just because you came back with some meat on your bones you think you’re the shit?”

I said nothing. I let her have her rant. My friends looked ready to pounce, but I held my hand up, telling them I was okay through our mind link.
