I’d never seen Grant like this. For all the past years he’d been calm and composed. I never thought he would get jealous. I could feel his wolf raging inside his body, ready to lose control.
I remembered everything I did in college to make him jealous. I heard that the one who took the initiative had no initiative, so I started playing hard to get and spending time with other guys.
But Grant remained unaffected, walking past me without a glance. I realized this didn’t work for him.
The wolf inside me stirred, that possessive part of my soul that had always recognized Grant as my partner, even when I refused to admit it. But now… now, it felt different. He was no longer the one who needed to be fought for. The alpha instinct that had once driven me to chase him was now being replaced by something darker, more detached.
We came back to the way I used to be around him. Six years passed in a flash.
Now, finally, I saw his jealousy, but it was too late.
I took my phone, trying to explain, but Wanda was one step ahead of me.“It’s probably Rosie’s friend! Girls often call some bestie mate!”
I didn’t correct her. I went back to my room and called Jake. He began with small talk.
“Did you eat?”
“It’s been raining in Silverclaw pack. What about Nightfall pack?”
“Silverclaw pack’s getting cooler. Bundle up!”
At first, I answered, waiting for him to get to the point. But all he did was ask me irrelevant questions. I finally snapped.
“What’s the matter? I’m hanging up.” .
He finally became serious.“Do you regret it? Are you sure you want to marry me?”
“You went around the bush for this?” I chuckled. He made a solemn “Mm“.
“You love your partner, don’t you?”
I wondered how he knew about that, but then I realized it was too obvious. From the moment I met Grant, to my persistent pursuit, my wedding announcement, my sudden change of plans— it was all on my social media. My entire life revolved around Grant, making Jake impossible not to know about him.
I shook my head. A long silence made Jake nervous. He was afraid I’d say yes and choose Grant over him.
“I… I don’t love him anymore.” Pausing, I added, “I’m marrying you, and I won’t regret it.”
