RECAP....
“I can’t Lorance. I...I love him.” I suddenly said. Lorance froze in place at my words.
I knew I would regret saying that later. But I knew that I could never be with Lorance. It was better to make him think that I was in love with Ryan and have him hate me then both of us suffer from not having each other. Then he could have a chance with Jamie if he wanted, and who knew maybe Jamie would give him that chance. They could fall in love with each other and complete the imprinting. Then they could have as many children as they wanted, start a family together, and grow old.
He took a step back away from me as I watched him. His eyes went from loving, to cold, to furious in 5 seconds.
“He will never make you feel the way I do Luna, just remember that.” He said coldly and walked out of my room. I let out a shaggy breath and let myself slid to the floor.
‘It’s better this way.’ I told myself as the tears began to roll down my cheeks.

Luna’s POV
The next morning I woke up with my eyes all puffy and red. It must have been from crying so much last night. I didn’t feel like getting out of bed today, and even more having to face Lorance after what happened last night. I was wiped out completely. But I know that father wouldn’t let me stay in bed all day. It wasn’t something the daughter of an Alpha did. So I might as well just get up.
After lying in bed for another fifteen minutes I finally got up and decided to take a nice hot shower to relax my muscles and my mind. The warm water hit against my skin and I let out a deep sigh. This was exactly what I needed. While relaxing under the hot water my mind started to wonder back to Lorance.
I didn’t know how the hell I was going to face him today. Would he hate me? Or would he even remember a thing since he was so drunk last night?
I washed my hair and got out of the shower. Wrapping a small towel around my body, I stepped out of my bathroom to my closet. Since it was one of my off days I decided to go with some sweats and a white t-shirt.
I went back into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I put my hair into a tight ponytail and was ready to go downstairs. I walked to the door and stopped. Would Lorance be downstairs as well?
‘Ok Luna, no need to be nervous right? Just take deep breaths and everything will be ok.’ I told myself before leaving my room. I walked down the stairs slowly and was lucky enough to not run into Lorance yet. But sooner or later I had to see him and surely he would be at the breakfast table.
I sighed. Might as well get it over with I thought. I walked to the dinning table and looked around. Jamie, my father and Lorance’s father were all seated at the table. But the chair where Lorance usually sat was empty. I let out the breath I was holding. Ok, so he wasn’t here either. I didn’t know whether to be relieved that he wasn’t here, or worried.
I mean what if he had gone out into the woods after he left my room and gotten attacked by a group of vampires. He was in no condition to fight back from how drunk he was.
I sat down in my usual seat as a maid brought me my breakfast.
“Thank you,” I mumbled to her and began eating. I felt my father’s gaze on me.
“Luna, are you ok?” asked my father and I looked up at him.
“I’m fine, why do you ask?” I replied. He set down the newspaper he was reading and looked at me.
