“Thanks,” she said, ignoring my gaze as she walked in.
Why wasn’t she returning the excitement? Was it because of her hormones? Didn’t she want the pup?
“I guess you found your mate? Who is he? Can I meet him?” I tossed questions at her.
Sarah stood nervously next to me, moving her weight from one leg to the other, a habit of hers telling me she was nervous and unsure
how I would react.
Her face was blank, but her green eyes screamed answers that she didn’t want me to know.
“What happened?” I asked, concerned, when she didn’t say a word.
“Kate!” My gaze snapped towards the door where a man stood, his gaze pinned on Sarah and then moving towards me.

*Brian?” I gasped the second his scent hit my nose. He had changed a lot and was unrecognizable. His short, blond hair was now replaced
with long hair.
He had a short, trimmed beard and a scar crossing his right eye.
He slowly entered the room and came around from the other side of the bed. He bent down and kissed me on

the forehead.
Sparks erupted at his touch, and I shivered where I sat.
Brian came upright and took a step away from the bed, his gaze returning to Sarah.
The atmosphere became stiff around me and I moved my gaze between my mate and best friend, confused.
Then it hit me as if a bucket of ice water was dumped over my head, Sarah’s new scent carried a similar smell to my mate’s…
“Tell me it is not true,” I broke the silence in the room.
Kia whimpered from the back of my mind, confirming my suspension…
“Kate,” Brian started and Sarah’s gaze snapped at him, “it was an accident!”
“An accident?” Sarah growled at him, “We have…”
“… been seeing one another for a while,” I finished her thoughts.
“How…?” Brian gasped out, bewildered.
“I felt it!” I growled at him, “You f*cked her earlier today, and it woke me up!”

“We haven’t!” Sarah’s eyes grew wide, and her face turned red, “you are cheating on me?” She asked.

“Come on Sarah, Brian argued, “you are due anytime soon! I still have needs, and you are not capable of fulfilling those needs now!”
For a second, I was happy about their fight. That was until I realized that my fated mate was going around screwing whatever she–wolf
was available.
Would he have done that to me as well when I fell pregnant?
“Enough!” I growled fiercely. “Get out! The both of you!”
“But… but…” Brian tried to argue.
“No, Brian,” I growled, “you have shown me what kind of mate you are!”
“Kate, you have been in a coma… no one could tell me for how long! Should I have waited?” He asked.

“Yes,” I answered, “we made a promise that we would wait! You have betrayed me, and now you are screwing around while you have a she-
wolf pregnant!”
Sarah’s gaze snapped back toward me. She had never seen me this angry.
“In that case,” Brian growled at me, “I, Brian Joseph Scott, future Beta, from the Silver Moonstone Pack, reject

you, Catherine Jones, as my mate.”
“I accept!” I growled, feeling the pain of rejection rippling through my body. I gasped for air, yet, I knew the bond breaking would leave
me in pain. I was more hurt that Brian didn’t fight for me.
I scrunched back into the hospital bed, closing my eyes as I watched the bond’s last thread snapping like it was nothing.
All those years we have been together meant nothing to him… meant nothing to me anymore…
Brian gasped out of breath and dropped to his knees. He yelled out in agony, yet I only watched him. Eight months ago, I would have
fought with him and for him, now, I felt nothing…
“K–K–Kate!” He moaned my name, looking for help. Haiti must be fighting him for control.
“Leave, now, before Haiti takes over…” I warned him. “I will not change my mind.”
Brian got to his feet, and ran out of my room, as he howled, feeling the pain of the bond breaking on his side…
