From a distance, I saw Blake right away. He had his arm around Wendy, gently helping her into her training gear as if she were made of glass.
When Wendy noticed me, she dragged Blake over to where I was standing.
“Clara! What are you doing here? This kind of competition isn’t for an average Omega like you! I may be an Omega, but I’m the pack’s Luna. You—”
Blake cut her off, scolding me the same way he always did. “Enough with the nonsense! This is an inter-pack hunting competition!
“Everyone competing is representing their pack! Don’t embarrass us like this! You didn’t use my name to get into this, did you?”
I rolled my eyes and shrugged. “I qualified fair and square.”
His voice got sharper and angrier. “You’ve lost your damn mind!”
I stayed calm. “I’ve never needed your name to earn what’s mine.”
He grabbed my arm and started dragging me toward the exit. “Stop using me to get special treatment!”
I nodded. “Don’t worry. I won’t be your fated mate much longer.”
Wendy jumped in at that moment. “Clara, I get it. You’re upset because you think I stole your Luna title. But you shouldn’t say stuff like that just to threaten Blake.”
I snorted. “Threaten? Why don’t you ask Blake if it’s real?”
In the next second, I felt the bond deep in my soul break with a sharp and sudden crack.
