On the other hand, my husband, the Alpha of the Black Ebony Pack, decided to stay with his mistress, Olivia Smith, a barmaid in the tavern close to the outside of our pack territory, for a week in their luxurious mansion. While I was heartbroken, I knew that I couldn’t give up for my daughter’s sake. It was the last thing I could do.
Yet, this was the final straw for me. Last week was the catalyst for everything that happened. Jeremy got upset because his mistress, Olivia, had accused my own daughter of stealing her diamond ring. As usual, Jeremy believed her lies. He punished our daughter for staying outside despite the terrible rainstorm that hit our pack for the past few weeks. Despite my many pleas, the Alpha would not listen to me.
When Marianne started to cough more often, Jeremy told our pack doctor to take care of her while he was going to comfort his mistress. Unfortunately, it was way too late. Marianne was beyond saving.
I didn’t remember how many times I tried to tell Jeremy through our mind-link until he responded. His first words were like a dagger, stabbing deeply through my heart.
"Can you make it quick? I’m busy with Olivia here."
