I knew when Maxine opened the door I would have some explaining to do.
I didn't want things to be this way. I was hoping I could spend more time with her before she possibly left me for good.
Ashley just had to ruin everything. I knew she would tell Maxine she thought that I was her mate, then Maxine would flip and then I would have to come clean. I would be forced to deal with my messed up mate triangle. I would take the responsibility of being alpha any day over this.
I knew who I wanted. There was no question about it. But as Elder John and the Pure-blood Alpha book in my library had informed me, things were more complicated than me simply following my heart.
I cringed at the thought of being with Ashley forever. We would follow each other even in death if she was my true mat
