As I took my last breath, I blamed myself for not being careful enough. My phone began to vibrate wherever it was and I was sure it was mother calling me.
I was going to miss the wedding after all.
Alice:
I thought I was going to miss the wedding. But here I was, standing not too far from where my stepsister was tying the knot with Rowan, my mate. Tanya was kissing him like her life depended on it and that disgusted me to the core.
Rowan should have been my answer to it all — the mate that would take me out of my misery after father died.
I remember when I introduced him to my family. At that time, he was just newly appointed the head of his pack and that meant I would be his Luna.
"Mother, Liam, Tanya, meet Rowan, my mate..." I had said to them when I brought Rowan to them.
I got disapproving stares from all of them except one person — Tanya.
I could recall how she looked at my mate with so much interest that it made my wolf jealous. I had no idea that she was going to take things far because a week after I introduced Rowan to them, he called me out and rejected me, even going as far as forcing me to reciprocate the rejection.
