My True Mate

Lucas narrows his eyes, “Calm down.”


But I am calm, the numb silence inside of me like a still lake, “You were with Hunter. Why? You didn’t bring him-?”


“No!” He growls, darting forward till he’s in my face. “Of course not! I had to go and give him an update.”


My mouth is dry, “What did you say to him? Did you tell him I was -?”


“No,” Lucas narrows his eyes. “I asked him what you did and he said you tried to harm a packmate, his intended.”


“His intended?” I feel dizzy at his words. “Who is – He has another mate?”


Lucas studies me, “He’s announced an intended mate. She has yet to shift.”


The realization makes me want to throw up and when I reel, Lucas grabs me by the waist, steadying me, “What’s-?”


“Hunter decided on an another mate?” The grief is suffocating.


“Why do you care?” Lucas’s eyes turn to slits.


I meet his gaze, “Because he was my betrothed. She poisoned me, Valerie.”


“You were the Alpha pup’s intended?” Lucas looks taken aback.
