I didn’t understand why, but his serious expression silenced me. He drove frantically toward the hospital, his agitation clear in the speed. He got us there twice as fast as usual. On the roof, we found a wolf holding Wanda hostage.
Seeing Grant, Wanda cried, “Grant, help!”
Before I knew what was happening, I was pushed forward. I heard Grant’s voice behind me,
“See? This is my partner.”
“Let Wanda go. It’s not about her. Even if you kill her, it won’t help.”
you want. I’m the alpha of Silverclaw pack, not gonna
“You get my partner, and you get what you
lie.”
Then I understood what was going on. He brought me here to trade me for Wanda’s safety! The whole thing couldn’t be clearer.
This was a medical dispute. This man had been stalking Grant and Wand, mistaking Wanda for his partner.
It was like a bucket of ice water had been poured over me.
Grant kept pushing me forward. Wasn’t it ridiculous? My partner spent all the time with another woman, and then pushed me toward a criminal to save her.
The man looked at Wanda and me, hesitating. He had seen me while he was stalking Grant, so he loosened Wanda up a little.
He looked around, preparing to exchange Wanda for me. At this moment, the pack warriors swarmed, disarming him and rescuing Wanda. The mighty power of pack warriors in werewolf saved me.The next second, Grant rushed to Wanda.“Wanda, are you alright?”
Wanda collapsed into his arms, sobbing.“Grant, I was terrified…”
Only then did Grant remember I was still there. He asked me,“Are you alright?”
My eyes were empty. Grant didn’t explain, he rarely did. Seeing my expression, he felt that something was out of control.
“Rosie, it was a plan. The pack worriors had the place surrounded and I was just distracting him.” I knew he was telling the truth, but I didn’t care. Yes, it was a plan, and I was fine, but what if the plan didn’t work? My partner used me as bait.
In that moment, he was like a stranger to me. Rosie, this is the man you’ve been crazy for. Do you regret it? Yes, I do.
It wasn’t too late to fix it.
Afterwards, Grant said Wanda was traumatized and needed him, so he chose to stay with her. He’d forgotten that he’d pushed me toward danger. It didn’t matter anymore. I was done with him.

Once again alone, I removed all traces of Grant from my life. I collected our wedding photos and burned them all.
I cleared out everything else that reminded me of him: the matching toothbrushes and towels, the matching outfits, the matching bracelets. They all ended up in the trash. I would never need these things again.
My wolf inside raged in a way I couldn’t explain. I felt the pull, the instinctual yearning, And there was a stronger force telling me to cut him out. My wolf, my alpha, was no longer Grant.
