Rejecting Fate — The Sunsite Forest Promise

But the truth was, Hazel only kept Adrian around as a backup. He was just a no-name Alpha from a small pack. As my departure from the pack drew near, I prepared to sell off the assets my parents had left me.

Just as I returned to what was meant to be my future home with Adrian, I overheard Hazel putting on her sweetest act. Adrian, you're about to mark Caroline, and you still want to take me to Sunsite Forest?

She must hate me by now. She wouldn't dare. Hazel, you're the one I care about the most. She could never compare to you.

If she treats you badly, I'll break the mate bond with her. Even though I had already decided to leave, hearing Adrian say something so heartless still cut deep I wiped my tears and stepped inside as if I hadn't heard a thing Adrian jumped up Caroline

I hazel's wolf was unsettled just now I was holding her to calm her down I just I just nodded and walked toward my room. I had caught them hugging like this many times. I had fought and argued with Adrian, but nothing ever changed.

This time I wouldn't waste my energy. Adrian called after me. Caroline, have all the invitations for the marking ceremony been sent out?
