The
day before Valentine’s Day, I landed in Los Angeles to surprise my future Alpha mate, Dominic Vexmoor, only to find an even bigger surprise waiting for me.
We had been together for seven years. After he finished this assignment, we were finally supposed to seal our bond.
In the cab, the talkative driver enthusiastically pointed out the local culture.
“Beautiful miss, here to see your future mate?”
“You’ve come at the perfect time. Our citywide Valentine’s events are happening, all sponsored by Darkhawl Group. So romantic!”
I smiled, warmth rising in my chest. Dominic was the heir apparent to the Darkhawl Pack.
Suddenly, the driver gestured out the window. “Look! That’s their future Alpha Dominic Vexmoor and his future mate, truly a perfect match!”
I followed his gaze.
A massive LED billboard filled the street.
There, Dominic had his arm around a strange Omega, kissing her passionately.
The words below seared my eyes: A Match Made in Heaven–The City of Love,
My mind went blank at once.
So, Dominic had another future mate in Los Angeles!
Without hesitation, I texted my father.
[Dad, cancel your investment in the Darkhawl Pack]
[Clearly, that bastard doesn’t need it anymore.
Then, My phone buzzed. Dominic’s message popped up:
[Baby, I already picked out your ring. Since I’m stuck with a big project at the company on Valentine’s Day, I’ll be back in New York next week to be with you.]
He’d even attached a picture from the “City of Love” campaign as proof of his “busy work”
My fingers slid over the screen, a cold shiver running through me.
Real nice!
That message was half true. The work was real
But using it as a cover to stage a grand public love declaration with another she–wolf? That was real too.
The cab pulled up to Darkhawl Group’s L.A. branch.
As I walked into the lobby, laughter rang out near the elevators.
A cluster of immaculately made–up she–wolves fawned around a girl
The same girl from the billboard, Bella Carter,
“Bella, you’re so lucky!”
Dominic went all out just to go public with your relationship. Now the whole city knows you’re fated mates!”
‘Right? Dominic’s the Alpha’s chosen heir, worth billions!”
“Only Dominic could pull off something this grand! He’s definitely the most romantic guy in L.A.!”

“You’re living the dream–an intern who caught Dominic’s eye, then dated him without a hinch, and now this announcement. Straight–up Cinderella! Just don’t forget us when you’re Mrs. Vexmoor!”
Bella tried to feign humility, but pride shone in her face.
“Oh, Dominic just likes to do things big. Once we complete the mate bond, I’ll put in a good word for you all.”
“The Sales Director position is still open, isn’t it? Amy, I think you’d be perfect.”
Amy practically squealed. “Thank you, Bella! I knew you wouldn’t forget your besties!”
The flattery flowed endlessly.
I stood back, silently watching their show,
Dominic was ordinary at best, so my father never liked him.
We had agreed to a seven–year test, to see if he could remain loyal.
Dominic’s cunning father had dig into my background after our first meeting
That was why he accepted the intended mate bond between Dominic and me, and granted Dominic the Alpha heir title. A win–win arrangement, until Dominic failed to last.
Ding. The elevator arrived.
I stepped forward, but someone shoved me hard from the side
I staggered, nearly falling
“Watch where you’re going! You new here?” It was Amy, looking me over with disdain. “Don’t you know Bella goes first? No manners.”
I steadied myself and met her gaze coldly.
“The elevator’s public, and I was here first. Why should I step aside?”
Belore Amy could snap back, Bella approached impatiently.
“What department are you with? What’s your name?”
BA B
“Do you even know who I am? I’m Dominic’s future mate, Darkhawl Pack’s future luna.”
“One word from me, and you’re fired.
“Really?” I pulled out my badge, holding it up.
“Darkhawl Group, New York HQ, Marketing Manager, Audrey White,
“I’d love to know what authority you think you have to fire me.”
Bella froze, snatching my badge and staring at the name.
“…Audrey White”
Then, without warning, her hand whipped across my face.
Smackd
The sharp sound cracked through the lobby.
Her face twisted with fury.
“So you’re the shameless homewrecker from New York!” she screamed.
“You slut! You dared follow him to LA.!”
