Savannah was a dead end when it came to any helpful information. The fact that she was pregnant was a saving grace for her. Else I would torture the shit out of her to be sure she has told us everything. I can't even bare to be in the same room as her. She has been shipped off to the Council, who will administer punishment accordingly. There have been no instances in my lifetime of anyone trying to impersonate someone's true mate. Due to the sacred nature of the bond, and the way Savannah has tried to bastardize it with lies and consorting with a warlock to deceive, the punishment will be severe.

Kira had not used any means possible to extract information from Savannah as I ordered her to in my anger, but I couldn't blame her. Torturing a pregnant female would have been considered too much in anyone's eyes. What she gathered was currently in a file on the desk in front of me, in a makeshift office one room over from where Sky lay unconscious.

According to the report, Savannah was approached by a cloaked, hooded figure six weeks before the party that I hosted at our new land on the outskirts of Willow Falls. The mysterious warlock promised her a life as the mate of the strongest and most infamous pack on this side of the world. He must have picked his target carefully, knowing that the greed and ego of Savannah would not refuse such an offer. I saw how much she enjoyed the attention that came from being associated with my name. She requested a transfer to Jacobson's pack, the two being close as her father is a beta from a pack in the West. The friendship guaranteed approval of the transfer.

The night of the party, the warlock had woven an incantation into some mixture that she drank just before arriving, the same incantation lacing the champagne that was handed to me by Savannah just moments before we toasted. I recall thinking it tasted strange, but I attributed that to me just not being a fan of the stuff. That ensured that the mate sparks were present, an indicator for our species when binding has started. The same hooded figure created an artificial mate scent that Savannah would spray on to imitate the one smelt during the binding process. I wondered why her scent seemed more intense at times and, at other times, less pronounced. I put that down to all the perfume she wore constantly. Something she admitted to Kira was intentional and meant to conceal the fact that the scent was not her own.

These were all things I felt with Sky. Though not sparks, the tingles are definitely there. Coupled with her smell which even now seemed to linger in the air from the other room, which was driving me crazy. Crazier than any scent of Savannah's. I feel like I am binding with her, but binding with a human has never happened. Never. As Raina said before, her curse could be causing these symptoms and not a true mate bond.

Besides, she left me. She would have stayed to hear me out if she felt the same way. I would see that she was recovered, and then that's it. She is still with that douchbag Chris, and she no longer has the rose scent on her, which must mean she and Chris are in a serious enough relationship for her to gift him her virginity. I feel so hurt and...jealous. Jealous that he has touched her so intimately. Hurt that it wasn't me. Angry about the last year.

Get a grip. I snap out of my thoughts, thinking back to the rest of what is in the file. Savannah met with the warlock on two other occasions during our relationship. The first time was two months into the relationship, apparently after rumors had been circulating that things between us were far from blissful. He threatened to kill her if she didn't find a way to make it work with us. That's when she hatched a plan to fall pregnant. She tried taking advantage of me when I was drunk one of the nights, but apparently, even in my drunken state, I wanted none of it and called out for Sky instead.
