My family had a ton of relatives over that
night.
Jake and I were the last to arrive.
Everyone was shocked I’d managed to drag
Jake along.
His reputation preceded him.
I stayed close to Jake, afraid of setting him
off.
If I did, he’d bolt, and my plans would be
ruined.
Because I was quiet, Jake didn’t lose it.

To the outside world, we looked like a couple.
Bethany and Ethan were on the couch,
feeding each other fruit.
I ignored it.
She thought she’d won.
I just saw a clown.
As long as I had Jake, my life would be better.
Because Jake was the future Alpha, everyone
was all over us.
They kept offering him drinks.
Even though he was grumpy, he was polite.

Bethany’s eyes narrowed.
She had to brag about Ethan.
“Ethan’s so good to me! He takes care of me, makes me breakfast, and promised he’d give
me a litter of wolf pups on our wedding
night!”
She turned to me.
“I wonder if you and Jake… you know…”
I couldn’t believe she was saying this.
I clenched my fists.
Before I could answer, Jake snapped.
“A Luna talking like that? Have you no

“A Luna, talking like that? Have you no
shame?”
He turned to his brother.
“Ethan, control your wife!”
