 “You are a traitor, Zack!” she took a huffish stance. “I am afraid everything is beyond fixing for you!”

“Savvy, don’t say that!” he tried to take a step towards her, but she flashed her canines at him and growled a warning.

“Whatever happened in the past, however foolish I have been, nothing will change the fact that we are mates!” She let out another laugh. This was too good!

“Won’t, Zack,” she pushed herself off the wall and stalked towards him slowly, noticing how he gulped at the sight of her,

“I always knew that you were a sick bustard who can’t keep his word and has no heart, but I had no idea that you are also delusional!”

“No heart?” He looked at her sheepishly and chuckled bitterly. “Is that what you think of me?”

“Uh-huh,” she confirmed his suspicions with a nod and a sneer.

“Savvy, what happened between us was what broke my heart. I love you so much. my beautiful mate! I couldn’t…”.

“Stop!” she gritted her teeth, angry that he was throwing big words like that into play. “Don’t you dare go there!”

“Why not?” His hazel eyes glowed. “Because for someone who claims to love me, you did everything to hurt me the most!”

He clenched his lips, looking for words. This definitely wasn’t going according to his plan, especially since he knew what was at stake here

“And you had your revenge.” His voice sounded dry and full of pain. “It happened here in this hallway, right? This place still smells of the two of you! Did you let the King touch you to get back at me?”

“You must be thinking too highly of yourself,” Savvy couldn’t help but snort. “Nothing I do has anything to do with you! You were dead to me the moment I heard you plotting to K*ll my brother and using me as a breeder for your perfect heirs.”

“So, you heard my conversation with Castiel?” He looked away just for a moment but quickly returned his gaze to her face. “And what if I tell you that you misunderstood me? Have you ever thought of that?”

“I have,” she chuckled, even enjoying this conversation a bit. At least it wasn’t boring. “But then I came to the conclusion that nope, you weren’t misunderstood. You are just an as*hole who thinks of himself only.”

“I wanted to gain Castiel’s trust to help your brother. I had to tell him what he wanted to hear,” he started speaking, and she rolled her eyes.

“Was that why your people tried to catch me whatever it cost them? I saw it in their eyes. They were ready to K*ll me in their wolf forms.”

For a few seconds, there was only silence between the two of them. “They didn’t get my order right……. ”

“Of course, they didn’t! This is probably why you ran away afterwards with them and all the useful intel you got from that fox. To be honest, I am surprised you honoured the Northern King with your presence!”

“Savvy, I’ve made many mistakes,” he interrupted her, probably realizing they were not going anywhere like this. “But I am ready to forget the past and to move on to the future. With you.”

“Cause that’s happening!” Each word was laced with sarcasm. This was way less dramatic than she imagined their next meeting to be. The stupid mate bonds! She would never have fallen for a guy like him if not for it.

“We are mates, Savannah.” Zack insisted, and she had to give it to him – he had some balls. “Fated mates chosen by the Moon Goddess. We were made for each other, and we can make each other happy. If you only gave me another chance …”

“You know what, maybe I would have done it,” she lied to make a new blow. “But unfortunately, since you managed to have lovers left and right while you were away, knowing what kind of physical pain it would cause me, there is nothing to talk about anymore. You are simply not worthy of my time, Zack.”

Do you think it was easy for me?” He snapped as if everything was her fault, so much pain in his eyes she almost bought it. Almost.

“My wolf was dying from the pain of separation from you, and I had to act. I was thinking about you while I was doing this, imagining you, pretending it was my beautiful perfect mate.”

“Zackie!” she tilted her head and pouted her lips. “Poor you! How did you get through all this? It must have been so hard for you?!”.

Her brows furrowed as she looked at him, and at least he wasn’t that stupid because the Alpha before her knew at once she was mocking him.

“Savvy.”

“Cut the cr*p!” The princess demanded, changing her tone and demeanor at once. “I was thinking about you too when you did this, you know. I was writhing in pain each time, trying to claw my own skin and heart out while you were screwing someone and imagining me. I was imagining things too! My favorite fantasy was ripping your head off and being done with it quickly. It’s still the best for me!”

“Savannah ….” He repeated her name again, trying to reach her as if it could make any difference. It couldn’t.

“But I am willing to go with my second favorite,” the girl sneered, letting her claws grow long and tracing the one on her index finger over her lower lip. “You’d better take that chance while I still give it to you.”

“If you are talking about rejection, then forget about it!” Zack grunted. “I will never agree to lose you!”

“To lose me, you have to have me!” she exhaled heavily. “And you don’t.”

“Savvy, I love you! All I ask is a new chance!”

Something inside of her was calling her to agree to this. She could still feel the pull even though she was a royal lycaness. Savannah breathed in deeply and smelled Kai’s scent. It was still strong in this place where he held her just a few hoursago. The thought alone of him made her anger ease off a bit.

There was no chance of her forgiving Zack. Not now, not ever. “I, Savannah Stormhold,” she started the standard rejection line.

“No!” Zack growled loudly and balled his fists, heaving. “Don’t even try this. I would never agree!”
