Chapter 4 Half an hour later , I watched from a distance as Martynas rose gold chariot rocked beneath the moonlight , the open moonroof allowing the crisp night air to carry their scents across the lake . Even from here , the betrayal was suffocating . Nearby wolves murmured , casting knowing glances toward the shaking vehicle . Rich pack wolves really know how to live lakeside trysts in luxury vehicles … I recorded these images with a moonstone . With a steady breath , I contacted Maryia through the psychic link and tell her : There is a moonstone that records images . Play this at the mating ceremony. Then , I my mother in Ironclaw Pack through mind link . Mom , Im coming home in seven days . She caught the tremor in my voice instantly . Is Adeleke coming ? I closed my eyes , inhaling sharply . Im coming alone . Then , her voice softened . Dont grieve , sweetie . Ill meet you at the border of the Iron Claw Pack . That night, Adeleke returned under the cover of darkness , the bitter scent of blood wine clinging to his breath . His grip on me was desperate , his lips pressing against my forehead , my cheeks , my lips , as if he could erase the damage . My honey , I love you so much . Look , Im rushing back even though Im so busy . he murmured , voice thick with drunken devotion . Be angry with me , punish me , but never leave me . Please ? His neck still bore Martynas crimson lipstick marks , yet the love in his gaze burned with heartbreaking sincerity . I let him kiss me , let him whisper apologies that meant nothing , let him cling to the illusion that I was still his . Chapter 4 In the morning , he moved through his usual rituals preparing my morning tea , selecting my clothing with care , pressing a warm kiss to my temple , At breakfast , Beta delivers an encrypted piece of parchment , My Luna , said Adeleke , who had played perfect Alpha and devoted mate all morning , I have a pack gathering tonight . I wont be home . I could already smell Martyna on the parchment . But I simply nodded . Once he left , I followed his scent trail across the packlands , leading me straight to an upscale territory complex . Martyna , dressed in white moonsilk , practically bounced into his chariot. I trailed them silently , watching as they arrived at Wolfs Heart Photography Studio . The Omega attendant greeted them warmly . Alpha Adeleke , Miss Martyna ! Weve cleared the studio . Lets review the mating ceremony photo styles … A cold laugh built in my chest , but my mind flashes to the figure of a blonde beauty , and the next second a familiar voice rings in my ears . My best friend . Where are you ? she chirped . Lets have afternoon tea ! I gave her the studios location . Five years mated , and youre taking new ceremony photos ? You and Adeleke are so romantic ! she gushed . I closed my eyes , gripping the steering wheel tighter . Sarah … hes not with me . Twenty minutes later , I sat in Sarahs vehicle , my voice steady as I recounted everything Martynas return , the taunting message , the betrayal . Inside the studio , Adeleke stood behind Martyna , adjusting the ceremonial robe around her shoulders with careful precision , his touch reverent . I clenched my fists as Sarah let out a low growl , her wolf bristling with fury . Chapter 4 Ill tear them apart , she hissed . I placed a hand on her arm . I need to see what happens next . We followed them to the lake . The private photography area had been secured against prying eyes , but it wasnt enough to keep us out . The photographer fawned over them . Such a striking pair the most beautiful mates Ive ever photographed . Martyna preened , clutching Adelekes arm like she had a right to it . I have excellent taste in males . My Alpha is gorgeous . They posed in three different ceremonial outfits . When Martyna shivered , Adeleke wrapped her in his ceremonial cloak . When she struggled with poses , he murmured words of encouragement , his touch gentle , familiar . Then , before the sacred lake , Adeleke knelt on one knee . Sarahs claws extended instinctively , her breaths coming in short , furious bursts . At Adelekes feet , Martyna gasped as he presented her with blood roses and a moonstone ring . You wanted ceremony photos but insisted we skip the proper mating proposal , he said , his voice warm , affectionate . I cant shortchange you , my love . He lifted the ring toward her . affectionate . I cant shortchange you , my love . He lifted the ring toward her .
