Alistair's words echoed in my head long after he'd left for work. "Arranged marriage." Two simple words that had shattered what little remained of my heart.
I stood in the middle of my bedroom, surrounded by the life I'd built here. Photos on the wall. Books on the shelves. Memories in every corner. None of it mattered anymore. Nothing mattered.
Rhys had moved on completely. In less than a day after accusing me of betrayal, he'd agreed to marry someone else. The daughter of Alpha Wilson. A proper Alpha female, no doubt. Someone worthy of him in ways I could never be.
My hands trembled as I pulled my suitcase from under the bed. I couldn't stay here. Not when he would return tomorrow. Not when I'd have to watch him plan his wedding, build a life with someone else, all while believing I was nothing but a cheating, lying omega.
