“She’s a werewolf,” Liam replied, beckoning for me to go
to him. I went to his side and he snaked a n arm around my waist, pulling me closer
to him. Salina scoffed and rolled her eyes.
For a second, I thought I misjudged her, o r maybe it was
because I was taking Liam from her. If the person I love was snatched away from
me, regardless of the reason, I’d be bitter too. So, I understand where she was
coming from
Liam’s hold tightened around me as if assuring me that
everything was alright. I hoped it was or a t least would. At this moment, I
trusted him with everything – mine, and ours. He had the power to take what he
wanted in any manner he wished, and I trusted that we were in the same boat.
“She doesn’t smell like a werewolf,” said Salina, her tone

“She’s a werewolf and she’s my mate. I found her on the

I had once hoped for my mate to come to find me and take
me away from my old pack. I had once dreamed that my mate would look at me and
find me suitable for him – that he would accept me for who I am and not reject
- me. I once prayed to the Goddess for a mate who’d treat me kindly. All these…
because a small part of me wanted to use my mate if I ever had one. Use him to
get out. It was a horrible motive, but I was imprisoned. Bound to a promise,
held down by guilt.
Liam did all of it. He took me away from there, he
accepted me, and he treated me like I was worth it when I couldn’t even find it
in myself. I was using him. When I started to feel this way towards him, I
