Ava Bennett's world is turned upside down when her mate, Lucas Anderson, rejects her and takes another mate, leading her to have a one night stand with Alpha Ethan Maxwell, who claims her as his mate just as Lucas wants her back, leaving Ava stuck between two Alphas and an impending pack war.
As I stood there trying to make sense of what was happening, Lucas spoke again, and for a moment, I thought he was going to change his mind.
I thought he was going to say he’d made a mistake, but he didn’t.
Instead, he confessed his love for the other woman and said she was his true mate.
He said he’d been a fool to think I was his one and only, and he was sorry.
He said he never meant to hurt me, but he had to do what was right for our community, and that meant being with his true mate.
He said he would always be there for me, but we could never be what we once were.
He told me I’d find someone else, that I’d move on and be happy with someone who wasn’t him, and then he walked away.
I stood there in shock, my heart breaking all over again as I tried to process what he’d just told me.
Was this really happening?
Was Lucas rejecting me?
Was he saying he never wanted me in the first place?
Was he saying I was a mistake?
Was he saying he never loved me?
How could this be happening?
I couldn’t believe this was happening.
I wanted to wake up from this nightmare and find out it was all a bad dream, but I knew it wasn’t.
This was really happening, and I didn’t know how to deal with it.
I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that Lucas, the man who claimed to love me, the man who claimed to want me more than anything else in this world, had just rejected me in front of our entire werewolf community.
The pain was unbearable as it spread from my chest to my fingertips, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe.
I felt like I was going to die right there on the spot because the pain was just too much to bear.
The pain of rejection was like nothing I’d ever experienced before, and it took everything I had not to break down in tears right then and there.
But somehow, I managed to hold myself together because I knew every single pair of eyes were on me, and they were waiting for me to react.
They were waiting for me to fall apart, but I refused to give them the satisfaction.
I refused to let them see how much Lucas’s words hurt me because they weren’t worth it.
Instead, I took a deep breath and willed myself not to cry as I listened to him explain that werewolves can have more than one mate and that maybe one day we’d both find someone else who loved us more than anything in this world.
I tried to focus on his words, but the pain was too great, and the tears came anyway.
I couldn’t help it because hearing him talk about finding someone else made my heart shatter all over again.
How could he do this to me?
