Chapter 3 Adrian held me tightly , incessantly asking who we should invite to our anniversary party . I played along , all while scrolling through my phone . My Beta was efficient . Just two hours later , she sent me a whole bunch of photos . They were absolutely damning . In the photos , Adrian's closest friends were all there , and Marcus was too . Adrian was holding Sophia , grinning like a fool . - Turns out , his friends all knew about them . I was the only one who had been kept completely in the dark . There were also photos from Marcus's birthday party . He was holding a cake , with Adrian and Sophia flanking it on either side . The background was a beautiful beach resort . I recognized it . It was the Kalirea trip I had always wanted to go on but never got around to . There was also a link in the photo . Sophia's private Instagram account . [ 22 - year - old she - wolf documenting her life with the hot professor ? ] [ My beast works me out so hard I'm always sore ... maybe I should stop being so naughty lol . ] [ Everyone in the comments is dragging him , but he spoils me rotten . When I'm lazy , he literally carries me around . ] [ My beast ditched his pathetic mate to come wreck me today . Ripped my dress off at the door ... this werewolf is feral . ] In addition to the texts , there were videos and photos . I turned the volume down to the lowest . Right there , sitting across from Adrian , I hit play . In the video , they were fooling around . There were even captions . Sophia asked him , " Do you love me , or do you love your mate ? " " I love my mate ... but I'm addicted to you , I just want to fuck you . " The comments were filled with nasty words , calling her a home - wrecking bitch . Sophia , however , couldn't have cared less . [ All the Karens in my comments must be old and ugly , just like my man's mate , huh ? ] [ Look how young and pretty I am . Stay mad , bitches ! ) My hands were shaking as I turned off the video . Meanwhile , Adrian was still rambling on about the party plans .

And all of his teachers , of course . " Adrian froze . For a split second, the carefully maintained calm vanished from his eyes , replaced by pure panic . " That's ... we don't really know them . Wouldn't that be a bit weird ? " I smiled sweetly , holding his hand tightly . " Come on , honey . The more , the merrier . ' " ... Hmm . As long as you're happy . " Finally , our mate bond anniversary arrived . Today , Adrian had booked the entire hotel . " He invited all our friends and family , his colleagues from college , and my writer friends from the literary club . He even hired a Tivoli designer to custom - make a dress for me . " Honey , I want you to be the most stunning she - wolf tonight . " Adrian smiled brightly as he pulled me into his arms . I stayed silent , already having everything planned out in my mind . Before we left , he went downstairs to get the car . Now , the room was left with just me and Marcus . Looking at this child who was now taller than me , my heart hurt so much . I couldn't help but ask one last question , " Marcus , do you love me ? " He lazily leaned back in his gaming chair , fully focused on the match . He didn't even look up . " Whether I love you or not doesn't change the fact that you're my mom . " If I , if your dad and I ... if we sever the mate bond , who would you want to live with ? " " Of course , I'd stay with Dad . But , " he looked up and smiled , " are you really going to break up with him ? " " Even if Dad wanted to dump you , you'd probably cry and beg him not to leave you , then stalk him like a crazy person . ) ) The sound effects from his game stopped . Marcus muttered under his breath , " Fuck , lost again " , and then walked out . He didn't even look at me . It was all over . I had had enough . These ungrateful assholes , I was going to dump both of them . The three of us drove to the hotel . I smiled as I greeted guests , with Adrian linking his arm with mine . The moment I stepped into the hall , I saw Sophia . Chapter 3
