Ryan’s pov

*Minutes after rejecting Evie*

“How could you do this to me?” Kimberly cried, her eyes red from both anger and sadness. Regret fills me up heavily but it’s not directed at her. It’s directed at Evie.

My Evie.

1 fisted my hands at my sides, fighting the urge to go back to her, apologize and make things right. But I know if I did, Evie would suffer for it. In ways. I was afraid I’d not be able to help.

The fear of knowing that my mate can be ripped from me in the most gruesome way is the reason I stay planted in Kimberly’s room. I was sacrificing my future, my happiness for Evie. And I would do it again if that meant that Evie would be safe and alive.

I watch Kimberly pace the floor of her room, hands in her hair, tugging, gripping. I stare at her blankly.

“I told you,” I started, voice dry of emotion. “I mistook her for you.”

Kimberly twist to glare at me angrily, pointing an accusing finger. “You know it makes no sense that went to her room expecting it was me? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds Ryan?”

I couldn’t stop the roll of my eyes. ” It’s just sex-

“You gave her something that was supposed to be mine tonight!” She barks and storms towards me, finger now pressing to my broad chest. I resist the urge to slap it away.

“Wait until our parents hear about what-

I grab her finger, leveling my eyes with hers. “You won’t say a thing to them Kimberly.”

you

did! You

her pointed

Her eyes narrowed, turning to slits of anger. “Oh yea? Then watch me tell them how you slept with the lowest rank in the pack! Wait until the entire pack hears about it!”

My grip on her finger turns a bit brutal and I see her face wince but ignore it as I pull her close. “You won’t say a word about anything Kimberly.”

Her lips curl back into a sneer. ” And why wouldn’t I?”

Our eyes are now leveled as I glare into hers. “Because you will get what you wanted tonight. I will mark you. You will be my Luna. I choose you.”

The anger in her eyes starts to fade as she watches me intensely. “You won’t ever touch her again?” She whispers, eyes now softening even more when I agree to never touch Evie even though I knew I may not be able to stay away.

“Promise me that Ryan.”

My jaw tightens.

The image of Evie flashes behind my eyes. Her wide eyes full of hurt and betrayal as I let out those unforgivable words at her. Would she ever forgive me for this?

“I promise,” I utter even though I didn’t want to. The lie tastes bitter on my tongue.

Kimberly’s eyes flashes in triumph and her hand starts sliding up my arm possessively as if she’s claiming me.

Shivers of disgust spread through me like wildfire. “You will mark me,” she murmurs. “Tonight.”

There’s triumph beneath her fake softness. This is what she wanted all along. To be the leader. To be the one everyone looked up to. She didn’t really care that I slept with Evie. She only cared about power. And she thought Evie took it tonight.

That’s why she’s really pissed. Kimberly wants to be Luma.

I nod once. It’s stiff but she caught it. Every instinct in my body is clawing at me to run, to go to Evie, to fall to my knees and beg forgiveness. And my wolf, he howls in protest as he slams against my skull furiously.

“Evie. She’s ours.’ He whines.

‘She’s dead if we claim her,’ I remind him brutally. The thought stills him.

I wanted Evie too. Hell, I love Evie. There’s no one else I’d rather be with.

No one else.

I knew that I was supposed to claim and mate with Kimberly tonight. I knew my innocence was supposed to be hers. But I couldn’t.

Not when I craved another. Not when the other was my true mate. Not when I couldn’t resist her. I had only gone for a kiss. A goodbye kiss. But things had escalated.

And I don’t regret it. Not one bit.

However, I hope my father won’t know. I can’t risk him knowing.

Kimberly smiles at me and cups my face and forces me to look at her.” This is right, Ryan. You know it is. Together we will be powerful. Other packs will respect us. We are fated. This is fate.”

I close my eyes for a second, steadying myself as I let out an exhale through my nose. This is for her. This is for Evie. If I don’t do this, if I don’t bind myself to Kimberly permanently Evie will be in danger. Her life would be.

I open my eyes again and I know they were now cold and resolved.

“Get ready,” I tell Kimberly.

She beams victoriously and turns away, giggling loudly. I grit my teeth together. I hated her laugh. Hated her smile. Hated the way she treated people. I hated her voice. Gods, I hated everything about her. And now this….was my future.

My future.
