Where My Scent No Longer Belongs
I came back to life.
The first thing I did was sever the Mate Bond with Alpha Asher.
At his coronation.
In front of thousands.
Last lifetime, he publicly accused me of impersonating his mate in front of everyone, saying I didn't carry a Mate's sweetness but reeked of Wolfsbane that made him sick.
For Elena, his first love, he sent me to the black market where they stripped away my wolf. Without my wolf, I died in a rogue attack shortly after.
This lifetime, when he furrows his brow and tells me to get out of his sight, I don't shed a single tear. I just turn and leave.
He says my existence makes Elena unhappy, so I move to the border cottage.
He says he doesn't want to live in the same Pack with me, so I submit my transfer application.
I thrive in the neighboring Pack and meet a powerful wolf with a hidden identity.
When we appear hand-in-hand at the Northern Alliance Summit, Alpha Asher loses control.
He catches my scent,another male's mark on my skin,and his sanity shatters.
He blocks my path, a low growl rumbling from his chest.
"Wash that male's scent off you, Rhea."
"Weren't you disgusted by me?" I smile and step back.
"Now I belong to someone else, and suddenly I smell good to you?"
