I made my way directly to the library with the present I had for Asher all nicely wrapped up, ready to be torn open. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. When I arrived at the library, no one was there. I sat there for a whole 20 minutes waiting for Mr. no show. I felt stupid for thinking he would actually come. I got dolled up for no reason at all. Maybe I’ll still meet my mate today. Then it won’t be for no reason. I got up from the table seat and went into the hall, hearing a lot of whispers regarding my new appearance. Some asking if I’m a new girl, others saying I’m trying too hard and others saying I look drop dead gorgeous. I didn’t know how to feel about myself. As I was wandering around the halls waiting for school to start, a smell hit me like a truck. It filled my lungs and took over my mind. It was the smell of after the rain had fallen. Petrichor. "Mate", I growled. I let the scent lead my feet to where my mate was. I was so excited and my palms are sweaty. It led me to the janitor’s closet and before I opened it I heard a moan. I put my ear to the door and heard shuffling. “Hurry Saige, I smell my mate, I can’t let her meet me like this.” I know that voice my heart skips a beat, fear and anger covers my heart like a blanket. It can’t be. It can’t be. There’s no way.

Then, everything fell apart. I fell pregnant… with Laurent’s child. Zander found out about my betrayal, and in his rage, he marked me—not out of love, but out of vengeance. Then he shattered me further, finding comfort in another woman’s arms. Selina. He loved her the way I once wished he’d love me. It should have been enough for me to leave. But the Moon Goddess had other plans. Tragedy struck, and I was forced to make an impossible choice. I ran. For seven years, I stayed away. For seven years, I tried to forget. But now, the pack needs me. A war is coming, and I am the only one who can save them. Returning means facing my past, the mate I once scorned, and the love I thought I lost.
