I yelled out as I shove all the paperwork off my desk in my fury. I stood in silence and watched as the pages all fluttered around, down to the floor. I really wish I hadn’t done that now. I am not wanting to have to straighten that paperwork back up. But I am pissed, and I need to take my anger out on something, or someone. I looked at Cassandra, and I could tell by the tears in her eyes that she was waiting on me to start screaming at her. After all, it is all her fault that this even happened.

“Graham, calm down. It is not all my fault, remember? You were the one who approached me, not vice versa”

my mate tells me, and that does not calm me down at all.

“How could I have possibly known, Cassandra? I mean seriously, I am not a mind reader. I don’t have visions, because if I did have them, we would not be together”

I told her, and she gasped at the hateful comment. I acknowledge that it was a cold thing to say, but what else could I say? It was the truth, like it or not. She ended up being much more trouble than she was worth. I mean don’t get me wrong, she is really hot and still has a great body to this day. If I am being honest, Cassandra has always been one of the most beautiful she-wolves that I have ever seen in my life. That is the main reason that I chose her to be my mate. But I have to say, our being together was a mistake. A rather big mistake, and the Goddess has surely punished us for it, for over the last 18 years. If I had it to do all over again, knowing what I know now. I would not make the same choice again.

“Graham, you asshole. Why do you lay this at my feet every single time? We made the decision together, you approached me, not the other way around”

Cassandra said, and I watched her as she keeps motioning between us. Yes, I am just as culpable as she is in this, but I already know that the penalty and punishment that is coming, won’t be evenly distributed between us. I know that when the hammer finally does drop, the full weight of it will probably fall on me, and it wasn’t totally my fault. I did not have the full story or information that I needed to make a wise decision. I will remind him of that when he does come to us to hash this out. I will make sure that my chosen mate is right there with me, as she knew the whole story, and never once thought to tell me anything before she took me up on my offer.

FLASHBACK

I am at the Werewolf Fall Ball for the 6th time in a row, and frankly, at 22, I am getting sick of coming to them. I have been trying to politely excuse myself from all the unmated she-wolves who wanted to touch me to see if there were sparks between us, in hopes that I am their mate. I cannot keep the disgust off my face. I already know how these women are not mated, they are either sluts, or just plain unattractive. I already know that after this drink, I am getting the hell out of here, and I am never returning. There is no point in it. These women are the bottom of the barrel, and I would have more luck visiting allied packs and seeing if I cannot find a mate there. None of the women that I have seen tonight are acceptable to me at all.

I put my drink down on the bar and turned to head out to my car when I saw a beauty sitting all alone at a table. She looked upset, and I couldn’t get over to her fast enough. I picked up her hand and gently kissed the inside of her wrist, and although I knew we were not true mates, I was good with us being chosen mates. I would not mind waking up next to this stunner for the rest of my life.

“My name is Graham Sullivan, Alpha of the Silver Blade pack, why are you all alone over her in the corner? You look like you are upset, why are you crying? Did someone do something to you? I will take it upon myself to defend you and your honor if you need help”

I told her and she gave me a smile, but it didn’t quite go to her eyes.

“I don’t want to accept my true mate. I just met him tonight, but he isn’t what I wanted. I don’t want to be tied down in a broke pack. I want to be able to go on trips and be able to fully enjoy my life. Not have to work hard until I fall out and die from it”

she told me, and my smile grew bigger. I glanced down at her neck and saw that she wasn’t marked yet. I can kill two birds with one stone for this beauty and be totally glad to be able to do it. I didn’t care who her mate was, she was mine now.

“Well then, I have good news for you beautiful. I happen to be looking for my mate. If you are OK with being my chosen mate, I will mark you right now. He has not marked you yet, correct?”

I asked her, and she shook her head no.

“I have money, and I would love for you to be my mate. Just tell me if you are accepting to becoming chosen mates, and being faithful to me. We will need to act as if we were true mates, and I will take you from here. You can have whatever you want in life. Cars, jewels, designer clothes, whatever your heart desires, I will fulfill all of your needs. All you have to do is say yes to me, and I will mark you, and then you can mark me back. We will be together until death takes us”

I told her with my patented smile, which has worked every time I have used it.

Her smile was brilliant, and I knew I had her before she said,

“Yes, please mark me. I will be your chosen, and I will make sure that you are happy for the rest of your life.”

She tilted her head over and I sank my teeth into her marking spot, and she groaned before it turned into a small moan. I could hear a howl of pain coming from outside, and I knew we had to move fast because her true mate could mark her over mine and it would take away my mark from her neck. Time was of the essence here, so I tore open the top of my button-down tuxedo shirt to expose my marking spot to her, and she immediately sank her teeth into me, marking me as hers.

I was blissfully happy about this turn of events. I have a gorgeous mate, and my only thoughts now were to get her the hell out of here, so we could complete this fully and mate her.

This will complete our acceptance of each other, and we would be completely bound together from now on.

Oh yeah, and she was going to have to find her loser mate and tell him that he was rejected.

I was almost laughing about it because I was the strongest Alpha here tonight.
