of the room with him following behind me.
    Halfway down the hall we run into London who lets out a loud snarl as he sees Brock behind me. “Why are you even around him?”
    I smile sweetly as I move to shield Brock with my body. “He’s my second now. He gave up his title of Alpha.”
    London snarls again. “Why would he do that?”
    “Don’t tell him the truth.” Brock whispers into my mind.
    “I asked him to be as penance for almost killing me.” I lie easily.
    London narrows his eyes for a moment as he studies us.
    Without another word he walks past us taking the cloud of tension that had been nearly choking us with him.
    Silently Brock and I continue our way up the stairs to my room.
    Shutting the door behind us I turn the face him. “Tell me everything you know.”
    He nods sitting down on the edge of my bed.
    “For starters I knew about you and Gage.” He starts with a raised brow. “I found out pretty quickly that he’s been sleeping in your room with you, in fact I can still smell his scent in here.”
    “What does that have to do with anything? I knew you of all people were at least close to finding that out.” I sigh roughly.
    “I wasn’t the only one who figured it out, Parker. London was being just as sneaky, using Dillon to spy on your best friends. One of them slipped and said something. I only know this because I heard the two of them talking in the hallway.” He explains.
    “So, what happened after he found out?” I ask.
    “He was mad, so mad that he actually punched Dillon just for telling him.” He sighs before continuing. “Soon after I heard him talking on the phone with someone and the next thing I knew he was talking with your father.”
    “Why was he talking to him and why didn’t my father say anything?” I question absently.
    “He probably didn’t because he was being pressured into something. Like I said before London’s family is a very powerful pack.  They are dangerous even though their members can fool you into thinking they are sweet and cuddly.” Brock replies.
    Sitting down on my bed next to Brock I place my head into my hands. “What’s going to happen now?”
    “Your father is more than likely going to announce that he has chosen a mate for you. Then you’re going to be stuck following through with a bonding whether you like it or not.” Brock sighs sadly.
    I groan. “This just sucks. I was going to come clean and tell my father that I wanted to become Gage’s mate at dinner tonight.”
    Placing his arm around my shoulders Brock pulls me close. “I know it sucks but at least you have me by your side.”
    I glance up at him. “But can I even trust you after what happened before?”
    “You can, I may have been a complete jerk then but now I’m your second and I’m not going to screw that up.” He grins widely. “I’m loyal to a fault, you know.”
    I grin. “Good because we have to plan a way to get out of this.”
    He nods in agreement. “We can but you’re going to have to go through the mating ceremony. We can break your bond afterwards and then run away to find Gage and Rowan.”
    Groaning again I fall back on my bed.
    How did things get so messed up?
     
     

     
     
    “ D inner’s ready, Parker.” My father calls out with a loud knock on my door.
    Reluctantly, I smooth out the long silver dress that had been sent up earlier, and that I had been ordered to wear down to dinner.
    I knew then what my father had planned with his announcement.
    Tonight was going to be the night I would no longer be innocent.
    And I hated it.
    I hated this life right in this moment even more than I ever thought possible.
    But my heart did long for Gage, my wolf wanted him back and so did I.
    “Are you ready?” Brock knocks next.
    Sighing roughly I move towards the door and walk out. “For the record, I hate this dress.”
    Brock chuckles as he walks by my side down the steps. “I kind of like it, but I do hate the meaning behind it. If it’s and help I
