From this day forth I release you from our mate bond". Lily clutches her chest and falls to her knees trembling.

Everyone believes that Ava is my true mate, and that is what they will continue to believe. You will not breathe a word about us - do you understand?! Goddess-damn-it Lily this is important, say you understand!" Was it only because of her heat that he had succumbed to her? Did he truly not want her?

Then Lily suddenly remembers the story Ava had told her, about her secret lover back at Mystic Falls pack, the one she admitted being with for eight years now. The penny finally drops, Caden must be that lover! "You're the one aren't you? You and Ava lost your virginity together when you were both 18.

Rejection is not natural. Neither is being wolf-born, but that one I had to live with. It began with a rejection, and not one that was taken lightly. I knew the meaning of dominance before I was forced to kneel before him. The orphanage taught submission, but Alpha Martin Julius wanted far more. Submission. Power. Obedience. Abduction. And the one thing that I could never forgive...the belief that he could hit me and get away with it. The belief that men in this world are the only ones made to rule every continent, every country, every being and object...women were treated like those objects. Power danced in this dirty, entitled fingers and women were whacked and beaten into obedience. Power. Submission. Loyalty. Power belongs to the men and only the men. Submission is the only thing that must be taken seriously in a woman. Loyalty...stay loyal to the death. Rejection wouldn't have been possible if there was equality. There is nothing equal about the man who won't let me reject him.
