"Come on, Kathryn, know your place. Omegas like us don't deserve to be mated to the Alpha's son. The difference in your status is like heaven and hell! Show some decency—or at least give Ashton some!" She sneered.
I kept my tone calm. "The Moon Goddess gave me this destiny, and I'm not in any position to defy her choice."
Little did I know, during that time, Tiana had already wanted Ashton for herself.
When I accepted the mating bond with him, Tiana disappeared. Later, we learned she had left to train as a female warrior, funded by a scholarship from a wealthy pack counselor.
To be fair, I also had dreams of my own. I wanted to become a pack healer. But when my father fell gravely ill, I set everything aside to care for him.
Years passed, and Tiana returned.
From an Omega, she had risen to a high-ranking female warrior—strong, powerful, and respected. The type of she-wolf Ashton would be proud to have by his side.
When Tiana came back, she seemed to spend almost every moment with Ashton. At first, I found their closeness odd, how comfortable he was with her presence.
But soon, I discovered that they had already been involved in an affair during her warrior training.
Tiana confessed it to me herself.
"Kathryn, don't you think it's time you let go of Ashton?" She seductively asked.
"Why would I do that? I don't want our son to grow up in a broken family." I replied, my voice breaking.
She scoffed. "Oh, Kathryn, he's so into me. His heart has no space left for you or your son."
I swallowed hard. "What do you mean?"
She stepped closer, her eyes gleaming. "Let's just say… he traveled ten hours to reach my training grounds—just to visit me, to be with me…" She murmured, inching even closer. "To kiss me, to touch me… to feel every inch of my bare body."
A tear slipped down my cheek. "So… you're having sex with him."
She smirked, a cruel glint in her eyes. "Damn it, Kathryn, his length fits perfectly, feels amazing, inside me."
Kathryn's Point of View
I clenched my fists, barely containing the rage as those memories flooded back. Once, I used to look at Ashton with admiration. But now, all I felt was the urge to make him suffer.
Going back to present, I shifted my gaze to Tiana, who was holding up a small mirror, inspecting the burn on her left cheek. I should have inflicted more damage.
