He betrayed me. I can't believe Zack betrayed me. We had an agreement, he was supposed to be my mate. Mine not Victoria's. I can't believe I ever thought she was my friend! How could they do this to me?

My thoughts raged as I downed another shot of tequila. It's been two fucking weeks and Zack still hasn't changed his mind. Who the fuck gets two mates anyway and why would he choose her over me? Why would she even accept him as her mate knowing how much he means to me?

She's a backstabbing fucking bitch! I hate her! I hate him! Fuck! I hate this. I hiccupped as a sob broke through my lips. I could feel everyone's eyes on me. I could feel the pity of my pack mates, of the humans. Dad thinks I should just let Zack go but how could I?

I've loved him my entire life. After three years of being his girlfriend, he still chose my best friend over me. He had a choice and he chose her. Why?

I could tell you why. The whispers that were going around about them fucking around. I should've guessed they were true. They don't care about me. They never did.

"Hi, sweetheart. We're 'bout to close."

I looked up at the kindly woman, tears running down my cheeks. She gave me a sympathetic smile. I hated it.

"Don't....look at me....like...that," I slurred, "Let...me....be."

"I'm sorry darlin' but we really do need to close up."

I sobbed and pushed her away from me while stumbling to my feet.

"Get away from me," I cried as she tried to help me up.

"Oh honey, jus' lemme help yo-"

"NO!"

I swayed, the dark bar room distorting my vision as I stumbled to the door. The world was spinning. I couldn't see where I was going and I tripped. The next thing I felt was an electric zap and a hard chest.

"Oh, darlin' you're gonna hurt yourself," the kindly woman called with concern.

"I'm....."

"It's okay, I got her," another voice responded over me. It was a man's voice and it sounded so good.

Two strong arms picked me up as my consciousness started to fade away. I know I should be more scared of the situation but strangely I wasn't.  I felt oddly safe.
