I was an afterthought, someone people used to get what they wanted. For a whole two days that wasn’t the case, and now I felt like someone yanked the rug out from underneath me.
    I pulled up and parked by the garage at home. I turned off the truck and stared at the house that wasn’t mine. But it felt like the closest thing I’d ever had to a real home. Even the house I had on pack lands never felt like home because I wasn’t safe there. In this house I felt safe, but now it was missing a part of me in the form of my mates. And I didn’t want to be there either. I didn’t know where I wanted to be.
    I got out of my truck and went inside, sighing when I saw Ayden waiting for me. “Please don’t. I can’t handle any more shit.”
    “I just got a text from Barnabas that you ran from your mates,” he growled, stepping in front of me when I tried to move around him. “Why would you run, Tyler? Barnabas said the one is freaking out and the other is passed out. What the hell happened that you ran?”
    “You don’t know anything, okay?” I shouted, not caring when we started to draw a crowd. “They hurt me , Ayden. But your lack of confidence is heartwarming. After everything, you think I would do something to them and just leave? What the hell , man? Haven’t I always had your back? Haven’t I thrown myself time and time again in the way of the Alpha to save you? Now suddenly you assume I did something wrong when there’s trouble. I came back for some clean clothes and to get a little space. I think I’m allowed that!”
    “Tyler, I didn’t mean it like that,” he said gently.
    “Yeah right. I saw the judgment in your eyes. You’re growling at me when I walk in like it’s all my fault. Whatever. Why would anyone care what I’m feeling? Everyone just uses me for what they want, but I’m the one everyone blames. The Alpha blamed me for you leaving, Asterio blames me for the way I am, you blame me because they screwed up. Well, fuck all of you!”
    I turned and stormed up the stairs. Fuck it. I was so out of here! I was taking a shower and a nap and then packing my shit and hitting the road.
    “I didn’t mean it was his fault,” Ayden said from downstairs just as I got to my room. I assumed he was talking to Darcy. Yeah, he had a mate that would be there for him and comfort him even when he stuck his foot in his mouth. Me? Oh no. Mine shoved me off the couch and the other one demanded that I change who I am.
    Great. Just fucking great.
    I yanked off my clothes once I was in my room and jumped in the shower. I scrubbed my skin so hard that I was surprised I wasn’t covered in cuts and bleeding. It was like I thought if I washed them off me I wouldn’t break down crying.
    It worked until after I finished and dried off. The instant I crawled into my cold bed alone, I felt their loss and all the pain from my life seemed to drown me. Tears burned in my eyes as my despair seemed to build. I just wanted some sleep, not that I cared if I ever woke up again. After all, what did I have to look forward to?

Chapter 7
     
    Asterio
     
    I was sitting at the back of what I heard someone call the media room and mini theater . I didn’t know what media even was or a theater? We had a theater back home for plays, but it was outside with a stage. So all around, everything in the world confused me. I just wanted my mates’ calming presence. I didn’t want to know more about this world and explore it without them.
    After Tyler had left, no one would let me go after him. It’s not like I could just walk around until I found him. And I didn’t know how to drive one of those metal machines. They wouldn’t let me call him on the phone, which was an ingenious invention, and said to leave him to cool off. I respected my Queen but right then I was pissed at her. I didn’t think she had any right to get involved in my mating.
    I mean, what if all Tyler wanted was for me to come after him and make things better? What if
