Chapter 1 That morning , I noticed the Omega maids lips were swollen , and something in my chest tightened , though I couldnt quite place why . Ethan , my mate , leaned in to kiss me as usual . I smiled but mischievously dodged his kiss , leaving him to press his lips awkwardly against my cheek . Thats when I saw it a faint red mark lingering at the corner of his mouth . My gaze trailed downward , and there they were : a cluster of crimson marks scattered across his collarbone , just visible above his shirt . He cheated ! My wolf , Hertz , growled , her voice trembling with fury . He smells like someone else ! Her words hit me like a thunderclap . Cheating ? Ethan ? Seven years of love , a bond blessed by the Moon Goddess herself , my fated mate … cheating on me ? I took a deep breath , willing my voice to stay calm . Ethan , I said , my tone soft with feigned concern , what happened here ? I gestured to the marks on his neck . Did you get hurt ? Let me grab the first aid kit . No , no , he blurted , his panic as clear as the guilt flashing in his eyes . He raised his hand to stop Im fine . Its just … I have a meeting soon . Ill take care of it later . I forced a smile , watching as he hurriedly grabbed his things and rushed out the door . I kept smiling until the door clicked shut behind him . And then , as silence settled over the room , the weight of reality sank in . My heart plummeted , crashing into an abyss I hadnt known existed . The bright morning sun poured through the windows , but it felt as though invisible hands were choking me , stealing my breath . The world spun , tilting off its axis . Outside , the maid hummed softly as she tended the garden , her melody drifting through the open window . Normally , I might have found it comforting . But now , the sight of her swollen lips and the memory of those marks on Ethans neck consumed me . Then Ethans voice cut through my turmoil via Mind Link , his tone dripping with warmth and affection . byggtatry , Im done with my meeting . I missed you so much * How about we go out for dinner tonight ? Theres a new restaurant run by a vampire chef . Everyone says the food is divine * He chuckded softly . Baby , are you okay ? Why arent you answering ? I didnt want to wonder . I didnt want to believe the worst . But the image of those marks burned in my mind . Come home for dinner tonight . Thats my girl . Ill see you tonight . But night came , and Ethan didnt . By 10:00 p.m. , I sat in the living room , staring blankly at the clock , my heart numb and heavy . Thats when his voice returned , brushing against my mind like a lovers caress . * Honey ? I responded softly , barely above a whisper . His voice was low and sweet , carrying the cool seduction of a late autumn night . It wrapped around me , gentle and familiar yet now , it felt like a noose . Miss me ? * I was about to answer when a soft , erotic moan- breathless and unmistakable slipped through the link . My blood ran cold . Through the link , I heard him again , his voice thick with pleasure . Baby , where are you ? * My voice wavered as I asked , Where are * you * ? * He hesitated , but only for a second .
