CHAPTER FOURTEEN

HER POV

I wake in my cell.

I can't believe what happened yesterday.

The Alpha claimed me. Then rejected me. Because I killed Romulus.

If he understood why I did it, would it change anything?

I had to kill him before he mated with me against my will.

It was self defense.

I know in my heart the white Alpha is my mate. He knows it too, or he would not have claimed me.

Something is wrong.

Something is holding him back.

The door opens. It's the guard. They've come to take me to my death. To my execution.

I can’t believe it. My mate is going to kill me. I wish I could explain to him that I killed another Alpha, a man who claimed me against my will.

I feel bitter. I found my true mate. Now he is sentencing me to death.

I walk through the hall with the guard.

We reach the center gallows.

The pack is small, but they watch me eagerly.

I think of my friend who they killed. I should hate my Alpha, but I cannot. I know he is good. I know something is holding him back from loving me
