---- Chapter 2 My condition had actually started to stabilize when Samuel claimed me as his mate. When the wolfsbane fever was at its worst, I had no choice but to lock myself in a room. I couldn't eat or drink because every ounce of strength I had was already spent just trying to endure the pain. Samuel felt sorry for me. He took time off work and dragged me away on a long trip to distract me. We went from blazing deserts to frozen tundras. He proposed on a lavender-covered hillside. When he kneeled on one knee to slip the ring onto my finger, his expression was nothing but reverent. "Sherry Nicholson, I'll stay by your side for the rest of my life." Iused to think Samuel was my anchor. When the pain pushed me to the edge of consciousness, he was the only thing that held me back. ---- When I was torn between the urge to die and the desperate will to live, he tipped the scale. He stepped into my life at its darkest, like a stream of sunlight, chasing away the pain and lighting up everything. But now, as I looked at his cold expression, I sank to my knees in humiliation and licked the spilled medicine off the floor. The carpet scraped against my tongue, and Samuel's mocking gaze scraped against my heart. He let go of the vial. It clattered across the floor and rolled to the side. I scrambled over and picked it up, clutching it close. There was still a bit of the medicine left inside. I tucked it against my chest like it was something precious. The maid had already slipped away, unable to bear watching me like this. Samuel just watched me with a cold, detached gaze. "I ---- never knew you were this twisted. Sherry, you killed your sister. This is just karma. You deserve every bit of it." I didn't look up. I just held the vial tighter. Ihad a pretty good guess when he found out. Ihad never told Samuel why I had wolfsbane fever. But after we got engaged, he kept saying he wanted to meet Mom and get her blessing. My relationship with Mom had never been good. The resentment from my childhood still lingered. And truth be told, she had always hated me. Eventually, Samuel stopped asking. Aweek ago, he vanished for a day. When he came back, he treated me differently. Three days ago, he brought his assistant, Jill Bennett, home. I woke up to noise downstairs, thinking he was working late on pack matters.
