“You’re going to attack his pack?” I said realization hitting me. My father didn’t answer me confirming my
fears.
“Dad, his pack could take ours any day of the week, their stronger and trained”
“But we have the element of surprise” my dad said.
“Dad, don’t do it, so many people will die”
“Sitting here and waiting for him to attack first will result in people dying too Micah” my dad said using my first name telling me it was probably better to shut up now. My parents only used my first name
when they were cross.
I chewed on my lip thinking. My father was going to attack my mate.
I didn’t know what to do. Should I warn Dez? Should I tell my father what he is to me?
My dad would use me as leverage, I knew it. He would use me to his advantage with Dez.
Would Dez even care about me? If my father used me to his advantage and threatened Dez would he care at all? I so badly wanted to say yes, but my mind was telling me no. He wouldn’t give two fucks
about me.
And all these questions lead me to a bigger question. Would I risk everything to warn Dez, yes.
So where did my loyalties lie? With Dez, my mate. Or with my pack and my father. I got up left going back up to my room. I curled into a ball under my blanket and laid there.
That’s what I did for the next week, absolutely nothing but breathe through the pain that was steadily getting worse by the day. By the 7th day, the pain was almost unbearable.
I was laying there under all my blankets like every day, I was so cold. It didn’t matter how many blankets I got or how hot of water I soaked in, I was cold. I was cold from the inside out, I craved the warmth that
came with Dez’s touch.
A sharp pain shot through my chest thinking about him, which is all I seemed to be able to think about. My mind always came back to him, I couldn’t think of anything for 30 seconds without my mind reeling
back to him somehow.
I heard a knock at my door and it opened I didn’t move from my tight ball.
“Hey Kendal, wake up” it was Hannah she had gotten over Dez quickly, and was now back to obsessing

over finding her perfect mate. She pulled my blanket off.
“Mom wanted to tell y-” she stopped abruptly causing me to look up at her waiting for her to finish. Her eyes were fixated on my neck. My heart stopped knowing exactly what she was looking at, her jaw dropped.
“What is that?” she asked loudly pointing at it, I quickly covered it with my hand.
“Hannah, listen you can’t tell-”
“Whose is it?” she asked, I thought about lying but by the horror written all over her face I knew she
already knew whose it was.
“You mated with him on my wedding day!” she said angrily.
“We didn’t mate, it was- it was an accident” I said standing up holding my hand up trying to get her to
understand.
“How could you?”
“I didn’t, Hannah he did it, I’m sorry it wasn’t my fault I didn’t ask”
“He left me because of you!” she shouted loudly and I could hear the footsteps on the stairs, probably my
mom drawn to the commotion.
“Hannah he–he did it before I could stop him” I pleaded, even though I knew deep down I could’ve
stopped him if I wanted to. But stopping him never crossed my mind until it was done.
“What going on here?” my mom asked.
“She mated with Dezmond Collins!” she said pointing at me, his name being said made my stomach clench, my mom gasped her hand going to her mouth.
“No we didn’t mate, mom it was–it was an accident, I didn’t mean to, he just did it, and–and-”
“How could you do this to your father?” she asked me sternly, I swallowed. Shock hit me, my mother had never spoken to me in a tone like that.
“Why would he mark you?” my sister demanded looking furious.
“I’m his- I’m his mate” I said quietly.
“Why didn’t you stop him?” she asked.
“I was going to- I was, but he–he just did it, I didn’t, I’m sorry it was–it was an accident” I said trying to explain.

“I have to go get Nate” My mom said.
“Mom wait no, don’t tell dad, please mom” I begged as she looked at, her eyes serious and cold, before turning and going downstairs. I felt my eyes fill with tears at being rejected by my own mother.
“Hannah” I said softly “Hannah, please I’m sorry” I said as her eyes looked over me coldly her facial features mirroring my mom’s, and she turned on her heels and followed my mother downstairs. I felt tears spill on my cheeks and I sat down.
I didn’t know what to do. I knew what happened to people from other packs in my pack. And now that I bared the mark of an alpha, I was no longer part of the pack, meaning I was an imposter. And I knew I
would be treated as such.
