Chapter 3
My eyes were so swollen from crying I could barely open them and my head was pounding.[]
I grabbed my car keys andslammed the gas pedal,straight to Moonridge Suites.[]
Moonridge was Zethar’s other villa–where he’d set down his beta guards.[]
From a distance, I saw a rowdy crowd of Alphas and Betas gathered around the pool, throwing a wild party.
Zethar was there.]]
And so was Selene.

TE
Through the gates, I could see Zethar was drunk–his
gorgeous features flushed pink from alcohol.
His eyes were hazy over as he hooked his arm around Selene’s neck, whispering something in her ear.
Selene rolled her eyes playfully and shoved him straight into the pool.[]
The beta guards around them whistled and hollered.[]
Zethar surfaced, shaking the water from his hair with that cocky smirk plastered across his face.
He grabbed Selene’s ankle and yanked her in after him.[]
Zethar surfaced from the water, scooped her into his arms, and pressed her against the pool’s edge, in a deep, hungry kiss.
Whistles and cheers echoed around them again.[]
Someone popped champagne. Someone else recorded a video.[]
A third person joked.[
“Zethar, your Mating Ceremony with Laura is the day after tomorrow. Isn’t it a little messed up to be all over her best friend tonight?”
“Hahaha! What Laura doesn’t know won’t hurt her. Hell, Zethar could fuck Selene right here and she’d still be clueless.“[]
“There’s the real Alpha Zethar! I thought you’d actually gone soft, the way you were chasing after Laura like some lovesick puppy. Should’ve known it was all an act. I almost believed you were trying to give up your wild ways.“[]
Zether finally broke that endless kiss.]
His voice was rough and husky, dripping with that lazy, dangerous charm of alpha]
“I do love Laura She’s the only she wolf I want to bond with. I can spoil her, love her, grow old with her. But to expect me to only sleep with her while I’m still young“]
Zether chuckled, planting a loud, wet kiss on Selene’s shoulder as she panted against him
“I just can’t!“]
Zether lifted Selene out of the pool and set her down on a lounge chair
Chapter 3
Someone rushed over with a towel, but Zethar took it and wrapped it around Selene instead.[]
“So are you going home tonight?“]]
Selene looked up at Zethar with those slightly red–rimmed eyes.[]
Zethar crouched down and pinched her cheek affectionately.[]
“Laura cares about Selene more than anyone–even me. She hates to see her cry. Now that Selene’s upset, of course I’m staying to comfort her.”
He waved at the beta behind him. “Vesper, text my luna. Tell her I’m too drunk to drive home tonight. I’ll crash here and pick her up for the Mating Ceremony rehearsal tomorrow.”
Just as the tears started pouring down my face, my phone buzzed.
P
Vesper’s message.]]
[Hey Laura, Zethar’s pretty wasted tonight so he’s staying here. Get some rest–he’ll pick you up

tomorrow.
