| cdeep into the forest because | needed to be alone not so | could run into a jackass who had grown nosy
with the years.
"Stay back!" | repeated those words when Raiden took another step closer to me.
I'd have taken a thousand steps away from him if there wasn't a body of water behind me. He was closing in on

"How do you expectto stay back when you have obviously been crying, Aurelia?" Raiden asked like he
actually had a heart. "What's wrong?"
| chuckled, unable to believe his audacity. He must think | was still dumb. "The sway you stayed back during
our marriage, jackass." | spat at him, the sorrow in my heart switching into rage.
Knowing that Dakota was dead was killingand these past few days, | had stayed away from training or
participating in the games because | needed tto sort out my feelings but clearly, | wasn't doing a good job
with that.
The reason | cout here was for ssort of peace and control over my spiraling emotions but that was no
longer possible with Raiden's presence. | thought about walking away but then I didn't want my body to cin

"Move out of my way." | breathed as | took steps towards his body, determined to get as far away from him as
possible but he didn't move.
"Shove him in the lake!" Inara growled withinbut rather than take her advice, | used a single hand to shove
Raiden out of my way, grateful for my upper body strength.
Raiden was hot on my heels but he didn't touchand I didn't stop walking either, even when he said, "Okay
we don't have to talk about why you are crying in the middle of nowhere, Aurelia."
Hearing him say my ninfuriatedlike crazy yet | didn't stop walking.
At least not until he muttered, "Let's talk about us, Aurelia. Please."
I halted, anger bubbling underneath my skin. | could feel Raiden's hot breath on the back of my neck. My mind
betrayedas flashes of the days he used to haveflat on my chest and bury his face in my neck, consumed
my mind momentarily.
My body reacted to those steamy memories but Raiden's next words snappedout of my unrealistic trance.
"You left and rejected me, Aurelia. How could-"
"How could | reject a man who didn't give two fucks about me?" | snapped, cutting his statement short. | made a
quick turnaround, spinning to face Raiden so he could see the undiluted fury blazing in my blue eyes.
"Your audacity irks me, Raiden. You're full of shits." | spelled out to him, turned away, and continued walking
down the path.
We were over so there was no reason to go down that lane with him. He should be thankful that | hadn't already
stuck a dagger in his cold heart. I'd be doing the rest of the world a favor if | killed him.
Raiden put himself in front of me
again, stoppingdead in my
tracks because | didn't want to
collude with his naked chest. His et
very naked chest. "You're still my mate and this pack's Luna, Agrelia. That should mean something to you."
"That's impossible because we both signed the divorce papers you threw in my face and I rejected you, Raiden. |
know your ego is bruised but get over it and leavealone!" | snapped.
He raised his voice an octave higher, "I never accepted your rejection, Aurelia. We're still bonded even if you
can't feel the bond. You belong toand I'll have you back."
He didn't accept my rejection?
Why would he carry a broken bond for so many years and still mate with another woman?
"To manipulate you, obviously. He's not just a cheater but a psycho." Inara bore her canines in my mind pushing
against my skin so we. could shift even though she knew we should never shift before Raiden or anyone at that.
We made a promise to Alpha Tristan to keep my wolf a secret... Inara was a rare breed. The last of her kind and
despite not knowing how | got to have a special wolf, she was still mine. The moon goddess kinda did some

"You're my mate and Luna, Aurelia. Please let's-"
"The smate and Luna you sent assassins after because you wanted to get rid of her just so you could enjoy
your life with another woman? | snarled to Raien's surprise.
Stupid man. He clearly thought | would fall for his manipulating words but | knew better now. He was a good-for-
nothing bastard.
"Assasins?" Raiden played dumb and frankly speaking, | wasn't shocked. "What assasins, Aurelia?"
I shook my head, wondering why the moon goddess tiedto this man in the first place... | couldn't even
remember why | fell in love with him or see the person | used to love dearly within him.
"You know what? I'm sick of you, Raiden. Don't bother to approachwith whatever rubbish you cooked up. You
didn't wantwhen | was your woman but now that I've beca woman of my own, you want me, right?"
"Aurelia-"
"Just get your lass off the path, Raiden." | cut him off and tried to slip past him.
However, he grabbed my hand, holdingtightly as he asked with an emotion that hadgrasping for dear
life, "You've said a lot of things but you still haven't answered my question, Aurelia."
"What question?" | inhaled sharply, my walls cracking slowly.
"What assasins?" He questioned, his silver-gray eyes holdingcaptive.
