Rejected by the Alpha Who Loved Another
One week before I died, my mate’s childhood sweetheart returned to the Silver Ridge Pack.
Damon Thorn stayed out all night.
The next morning, he called me.
“Serena is back. I’m rejecting you. Come home and accept it.”
I coughed into my palm. “I’m at the healing center.”
His voice turned cold.
“What, are you going to say you’ve been poisoned and you’re dying?”
He laughed once, sharp and cruel.
“Save your lies, Aria. Even if you’re really dying, you still need to come back and end our bond.”
I smiled bitterly and said, “Okay. I’ll come home now.”
He didn’t know I was truly dying.
I thought once I was gone, he would finally be happy with the woman he had loved all along.
But on the day of my funeral, Damon abandoned his new bride.
He came to my grave and fell to his knees.His hands shook as he touched my name on the stone.
“Aria, open your eyes.”
“Didn’t you say you were dying just to trick me?”
“Then get up and lie to me again.”
