"I am heading out for a meeting with Alpha Denver of Lion Watch. I'll be back late so don't wait up for me," Lorenzo had said before stepping out of the room fully clothed that morning.
I wasn't sure how to feel after recalling that he let his lover sleep under the same roof with us the night before. According to him, it was too late for her to head back to the quarters he assigned for her which was why he let her stay the night.
As soon as he left the room, I went straight to the window to have a view of outside. And what I saw wasn't any different from what I've been seeing since yesterday.
Lorenzo and Ivy stepped out of the packhouse together and I watched as they held hands while walking toward Lorenzo's car. Before they got into the vehicle, Lorenzo pulled her to himself and gave her a tight embrace.
My heart fell. That was supposed to be me. Why would he do that with another woman?
My eyes met with Ivy's eyes all of a sudden as soon as she got into the car. She didn't take her eyes off. Instead, she gave a smug smile before Lorenzo zoomed off.

"Welcome," I said to Lorenzo as he stepped into the living room.
