The Infidelity Prophecy
On the day of the mating ceremony, a crazed witch bursts in and points straight at me, shrieking, "Six years later, your Alpha will betray you!"
Troy Hudson, my soon-to-be mate, turns livid. He swats the purple-glowing crystal ball from her hand, shattering it on the floor. "Nonsense! Estelle is my fated mate! I'll only ever love her in this lifetime!"
After that, he becomes even more devoted to me. At the Moon Goddess' altar, he drapes the silver Luna shawl over my shoulders. He marks me with his scent so the entire pack knows I belong to him.
Every full moon, he deepens the mark on my neck, whispering that I am his forever.
I believe his love is unbreakable until our sixth anniversary. A box waits at our front door. Inside lies a pair of lace panties and a photograph.
In the photo, Troy is pressed over his foster sister, Rue Youngblood, the wolf tattoo on his body glowing faintly. His hand grips her waist, his eyes burning with the same heat I've dreamed of a million times.
And Rue? She's wearing that same pair of panties.
On the back of the photo, written in ink as red as blood, is a line of pure provocation. "The Alpha's heart may belong to you, but his body belongs to me."
My wolf howls inside me, and agony rips through my chest, but not a single tear is shed. Instead, I rest my hand on my belly and quietly send word to the Witch Association.
"I accept your invitation. Please help me vanish."
