“You can’t be serious in allowing that…thing to stay here after what it did to you!”

“Kiya is not a thing, Odessa. She is a warrior and my mate, and you will treat her with respect.”

I scoffed, following with an eye roll. Neron couldn’t be serious, thinking such a lowly wolf was worthy of any title other than ‘slave‘. The commotion today drew in the pack as onlookers, some careless to gamble on who’d win. The reigns to my self–control nearly snapped when I watched that cur slam her fists repeatedly into Neron’s face, blood splattering everywhere. What was worse was Neron didn’t defend himself. He laid there, refusing to strike the rabid bitch.

It was so disgusting that I almost vomited. To see my love laying as he took the hits caused a riot of fury in me, wanting to rip Halima apart. Neron demanding me to treat someone beneath me with respect was an insult to my power.

“Like hell, I will!” I snapped, slamming my hands on his desk. “I’m your true mate, not some ghost of the past! You can’t seriously choose her over me!” My nose flared with my every sharp inhale, claws itching to the surface. What happened to us? Why couldn’t Neron see that he and I were meant to be together? We were the perfect power couple, two perfect pieces of the same puzzle. We promised each other to forgo our mates to stay together because we loved each other so deeply that even the gods in heaven couldn’t reach us. How can that love be forgotten? Why had he now chosen her over me?

However, Ariel howls for Darien and Sirius. Her lust and love ache for him, desperate for his gentle touch. It was fucking annoying! She wanted the wolf, but I didn’t want the man. I’ve been in love with Neron ever since I could remember. He treats me like a queen, always putting my needs above his. He was the apple of my eye, my red string of fate.

I’ll be damned if anyone takes him away from me.

Neron stared, his eyes rigid in a chill. Handsome, yet terrifying. Until now, he has always looked at me with love. With desire. With honesty. Now that’s all gone!

“You have a mate, Odessa. A mate that will love you more than I can. Go to him.”

“I rejected him.”

His eyes went hard, anger boiling like a tea kettle. “You did what?”

“I rejected him.” I repeated. “I told you I don’t want him. I love you and only you. Besides, we promised each other we’ll reject our mates. I did my part!”

“I was a fool back then. Blinded by my selfishness and grief.” He stood and walked to the window, eyes longing. “I still care for you, Odessa.”

“Then why are you throwing me away?”

“I’m not throwing you away.” He looked at me again, his voice somber. “I’m letting you go. Take back your
