My True Mate

I feel a sense of stark relief on seeing Lucas who bares his teeth at Hunter who has gone still.


I look over them and I see a shocked look on Valerie's face, especially when Lucas wanders over to me, standing next to me and I put a possessive hand on his neck.


I can tell that she expected me to be broken and desolate, still wanting scraps of Hunter’s affection. I can see the rage in her eyes that despite how I suffered, I'm standing tall and proud, with the most powerful member of the back standing by my side. 


Hunter watches us for a few seconds and then he transforms. Lucas follows suit.


“what is this?!" Hunter snarls at Lucas. "You said you had to finished the job.”


I see no sign of the man I had once loved and I let out aa shuddering breath. 


Lucas wraps his arm around my waist and sneers, “I never said anything. You assumed. I decided to make Sarah my mate.”
