I didn't hold back, not even for a second.
My hand slapped Ryan's face with a sharp crack, and the pale, cold complexion he usually wore turned red almost instantly. His cheek began to swell, and the look of shock that spread across his face only fueled my anger.
I stepped closer, my voice low but cutting with every word.
"You and Linda knew each other long before I ever came into the picture. I already knew that."
His eyes widened, but he didn’t speak.
I continued, "You claimed to love me, but all the while you were using me, hanging on to me while you followed your ‘white moonlight’ around. What kind of man does that?"
I leaned in even closer, my eyes locking onto his as I delivered the final blow.
"You’re just as low and shameless as your mother—who willingly became a mistress and left you at the playground, abandoned without a second thought."
His face contorted with anger, his emotions roiling like a storm about to break.
He opened his mouth as if to retort, but nothing came out.
I scoffed, letting go of him.
My head turned away, refusing to give him another moment of my attention.
I started to walk off, but Ryan grabbed my wrist with a force that sent a sharp pain shooting up my arm.
His voice was grim, darker than I’d ever heard it. "I’ve been meaning to ask something, Sophia… Where’s your wolf?"
My heart clenched, the question cutting deeper than I expected. My wolf. Sierra.
***
Sierra was more than just a companion; she was my most loyal friend.
We had been through so much together. Countless nights when I thought I’d break under the weight of the world, Sierra had been there, her presence steady and calming. She wasn’t just a pet; she was a part of me. In her eyes, I saw my own strength reflected back at me, a reminder that I wasn’t alone.
In my past life, Linda bribed servants and convinced them to kill Sierra by putting wolfsbane in my diet for years.
They slowly poisoned Sierra just to make me vulnerable. And it worked. After Sierra was gone, I became their puppet, too weak to fight back.
