The King's Rose Quartz Vow
Damon Peter wanted me to go to a community college with him instead of a top werewolf academy.
He claimed his wolf was still unstable and that he'd be ostracized at a competitive, top-tier academy.
He was my fated mate, so of course, I agreed.
But right before I hit submit, I overheard a conversation that shattered everything.
One of his companions drawled, his tone laced with amusement, "I've got to hand it to you, Damon. Faking your wolf's instability just to trick her into going with you?"
Another voice hesitated. "But you're fated mates. Are you really going to play her like that? Just for..."
Damon cut him off, his voice flippant. "So what? She's spent her whole life waiting to be my mate. I'm sick of it. This way is kinder, don't you think?"
I didn't push open the door. I simply turned and walked away.
Back in my room, I reopened the application form.
I changed my school of choice back to my original one—the academy my parents had insisted on years ago.
I am the sole heiress of the Celine Pack. I was always meant to be trained at a top academy.
And without me, Damon, an Alpha's illegitimate son, would never inherit his father's title.
One day, he would realize he hadn't just thrown me away—he had thrown away his entire future.
