“P-please let me go..” I stammered and before I knew it, I was word vomiting while crying. “—I won’t return. You won’t ever see me again. I know you don’t want me as a mate. You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. 

Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips  “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” 

"I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.”

Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?”

Betrayed by Blood, Claimed by the Alpha

The walls of Kendra's room barely muffled the sounds of the ongoing celebration outside. The people had continued with the festival after Gerald and his daughter were thrown out of the pack. Kendra, however, was not in the mood to celebrate. Not after all that had happened. Her nails dug into her palms as she paced back and forth, her rage spilling over with every passing second.

Cain had defended Avery. In front of everyone.

She clenched her fists, her jaw tight with frustration. He had chosen Avery over everyone. He had humiliated Gerald in the worst possible way, defied the traditions, and worst of all, he had taken Avery away afterward. To his room.

Kendra felt sick with rage. How had things spiraled so far out of her control?
