People seem to love asking, "What happened? How are you?" I can never answer honestly. Partially because I'm hoping that if I say my answer enough, it will one day be true. And partially because I just can't accept the truth - he's gone. So, I'll smile and say, "I'm okay. We just drifted. It's no big deal." And the worst part isn't that I'm lying. It's that they believe it. It's been a month and people still treat me like I'm made of glass, like if they say the wrong word, I'll just break. Honestly, though, all this pretending is exhausting. Pretending I don't miss him, pretending I'm okay, pretending it was nothing. But I don't want to pretend anymore. It was everything; he was everything, to me. He still is. That night is a blur now, but I can still feel it. Every touch runs deep in my veins. Each word resonates in my mind. The image of him leaving haunts my thoughts. The memory sets my heart on fire all over again. But that's all it is now. That's all he is now; a memory.

"You can't tell anyone." His words hit me hard, but I was ready for them. I grimaced slightly, but did my best to hide it as I squeezed my arms in response. "Fine," I said, nodding at him but not wanting to meet his eyes. I was met with silence. "Was there anything else?" I bit off, my tone a little more irritated than I intended it to be. He raised an eyebrow at me, and I felt almost naked as he studied me. His expression wasn't completely cold, but I couldn't figure out what else it held. "I wasn't expecting this," he admitted eventually, as if this were the easiest topic in the world. "I didn't ask for it to happen right now. In fact, the timing is rather terrible. And I'm sorry for that. But no one can know about this, okay? No one." "I said fine," I snapped. "Why don't you just reject me and put me out of my misery? I guarantee I can do it again." He blinked, taken aback by her sudden outburst. "You... already had a mate? And you were rejected? Who is he?" "You don't need to know," I replied, tilting my head to one side as I narrowed my eyes at him. "If you want to keep secrets, then so can I." I wasn't off to a great start with him, but only the Moon Goddess knew that it was only going to get worse from here. . . . Rhea Riverwood has already been rejected once by the man she thought to be her mate, so when she's given a second chance, she can hardly believe her luck when it comes in the form of heartbreaker James Severin, King of the Alpha Werewolves and Rhea's second fated mate. Rhea struggles to come to terms with who she is and where she came from as James struggles with his feelings for her, but they need to pull their shit together fast when someone close makes it very clear they want revenge and the royal throne, and won't stop at murder to get them.
