HAYLEE'S POV
It's been three years since I've been married to my wealthy businessman husband, who had no iota of time for me.
For three years, I've been enduring the harsh treatment I got from his family, especially his mother who thought I was not fit for their family.
Despite their hatred, I still loved my husband, Ryan. Before he left for his office that morning, I told him about my birthday and he promised to make himself available.
However, he once again publicly told me I was nothing to him. I was scrolling through the internet when I saw the heartbreaking headline.
"Superstar actress, Alexa, spotted at the airport with Ryan in intimate photos - their love seems so enviable!"
"That swine!" I cussed softly as I watched the happy smiles on their faces. They looked so happy together, fit to be an item.
I came back to my senses when I realized my husband had gone to pick up another lady
And not just any woman, it was Alexa who held an extraordinary place in Ryan's heart.
I once heard that they were once engaged to be married until various circumstances got in the way and I ended up marrying Ryan.
My marriage with Ryan did not change a thing about him. His love for Alexa didn't diminish, but it grew and I became just a thing in his house.
"Let's get a divorce." I typed and sent it to him. Few seconds later, he called me.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? If you think this is going to work to get my attention, then you've failed. I need to spend some time with Alexa, just let me be." He roared on the phone.
It was exactly three years ago, when I met Ryan Macaulay in town. He was a nice man full of life and love.
He portrayed himself to be the perfect gentleman, but inwardly, he was a bad man full of evil plans.
I never knew all his acts were just a façade. I never knew I was just a bait in his love life.
We ran into each other at the mall, while trying to get some groceries. He was a pretty attractive man and quite noticeable.
At first, I caught him staring at me from a distance while doing his groceries. I had ignored him, thinking he was just another man looking for a lady to spend the night with.
After a series of encounters in the mall, we met at the cash register, coincidentally.
"Hi. I am Ryan. Ryan Macaulay. You're quite a sight and it's difficult to take my eyes off you." He started.
"That's nice of you to say. I don't really get much compliments." I said shyly.
"Oh, that's too bad. I bet a lot of people see you radiant skin, daily. They are probably too dumb not to appreciate such beauty. Permit me to settle your groceries?" He demanded.
Since he was asking nicely, I thought it nice to give him a chance. Even though I have more than enough to pay my bills.
"Oh, right. Sure. I don't mind." I giggled.
After the payment, he handed my bags over to me and insisted on walking me out. He offered to drop me, but I told him I had my own car, packed outside.
"So, you look pretty young. What do you do?" He asked.
" I am a pharmacist and I work with Laura groups. It's a little place in a quiet place in town. But, I love working there. Plus, you are not old, either" I giggled
"Amazing. I am a businessman and I currently manage my father's company and my own company.
Well, if you don't mind, can I take you to dinner later this week? I must say, you've captured my heart in your love's nest. I am entangled." He confessed.
"Oh, please. Stop flattering me." I replied to him coyly.
"So, dinner this weekend? Trust me, I will blow your mind. I have a favorite spot in a beautiful restaurant. So, what do you say?"
I rolled my eyes and weighed my options. I had nothing to lose if I accepted his offer and also had nothing to lose if I didn't.
"Yeah. I guess an outing or two won't hurt. I'll see you on Friday."
"Here's my card, my number is there. Give me a call. Don't forget."
"Alright, I won't. You're charming enough not to be forgotten. Enjoy the rest of your day."
With that, we departed and didn't communicate for the next two days.
I forgot to call him like he requested because I was busy with work.
On the third day after our meeting, I picked up his card and dialed his number. As his phone rang, I had a flashback to when we ran into each other at the mall.
His bright blue eyes sparkled with excitement.
I could almost feel the connection between us as he shot glances at me.
I registered his charming eyes into my brain and smiled at the thought of him.
It's hard to believe that I am already head over heels in love with the guy I met three days ago. Love at times, could be tricky.
"Hello...? Hello? Stop wasting my goddamn time.
Is anyone there?" His voice rang out clear and loud enough to snap me out of my imagination.
I had totally forgotten that I had dialed his number."uhm, hello.
Is this a good time to call? We met at the mall three days ago." I stuttered.
"Oh, shit!" And, bang! He ended the call and made me speechless..
I was taken aback at his rude approach and made the decision not to call him again.
"That's definitely some red flags, girl!" I said out loud to myself.
At first, I caught him staring at me from a distance while doing his groceries.
I had ignored him, thinking he was just another man looking for a lady to spend the night with.
My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"

What do you think I did? Did I take her back or made her suffer? Find out!

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
