---- Chapter 4 When I got home, I went straight to the bedroom and started packing. I only took what was mine. The choker that muted my Omega scent-I left it. The conservative suits that hid my figure-I left them. The bottle of scent-masking perfume-I left that too. I wanted a fresh start, with nothing to hide. The suitcase filled up quickly. It was less than I expected. Three years together, and this was all I had to show for it. I took out the deed to the suburban house we'd bought together. Lucas had called it our love nest.

She just got back from Europe, and the change has messed up her ---- heat cycle. I have to stay with her tonight." "Doing what?"

It's not the simple inconvenience you half-bloods experience." There it was again. "Lucas, tomorrow was supposed to be our permanent marking day." "T know. But Willow needs me more," he said, his tone laced with impatience. "Sophie, can't you bea little more considerate? She's very vulnerable right now." "And what about me?" "You? What could possibly be wrong with you?" he shot back, his voice filled with genuine confusion, as if he truly couldn't understand why I was upset. Ihung up the phone.
