| was glaring at David. He averted his gaze and continued to drink his liquor. Everyone was celebrating the engagement but me. “I want to leave now,” | demanded. David sucked in a breath.
“| know you're mad about the surprise engagement,” he said. He didn’t f ucking know just how upset | was. | was f ucking pis sed. | could hit him right now. | couldn’t believe David did this to me. He tricked me! 2
I'l talk to my father for a few minutes, and we'll leave,” he told me, trying to kiss my lips. | could smell the liquor on his breath. | pulled my head away from him. | didn’t say a word. | turned and went to the hallway for some privacy. | glared at the engagement ring on my finger. The desire to remove it and throw it was swirling around me, but | needed to act cautiously about his mother’s health.
Ten minutes later, we left the house, | couldn’t pretend to be pleasant
when | was fuming!
‘Oh, I’m sad to see you leave. | was hoping you’d spend the night here,
Darlington whined. At that point, | couldn’t even fake a smile.
“No, mother. Next time,” David said, wrapping his hand around my waist. | almost sneered. He reeked of alcohol.
| bid everyone farewell, and they thanked me for joining them. Darlington was emotional to see us leave. She asked me for lunch on Friday before her doctor’s appointment. She wanted to spend more time with ‘ her future daughter-in-law,’ | couldn’t break her heart, so | agreed. If someone was to tell them about the breakup, it should be David.

I'm sorry if | surprised you. | thought you’d be happy,” he slurred
softly.
| scoffed,” What's there to be happy about? | begged you back there with my eyes not to propose to me, but you ignored me and did, knowing | couldn’t say no in front of your family,”

He gave me a desperate and tired look.
Love, | told you | wanted a serious relationship with you. The marriage proposal would happen sooner or later. And it cheered my sick mother a lot,” That was his excuse.
11
Oh please, don’t try to use your mother to lure me into guilt. You did it for your benefit and your benefit only!” | yelled.

What wrong did | do? We are in a serious relationship, and | wanted to take the next step. | love you, babe,”
“| don’t care, David. | don’t want to marry you!” | shouted.
His eyes flashed, and his facial reaction changed. His face was red. He recovered quickly, and his eyes clouded. He was having a
conversation with his inner lycan.
Once they finished talking, his eyes got to their original color.
“Why don’t you want to marry me?”

Because my feelings have changed,” | told him the truth. | couldn’t draw this out any longer. It would only hurt him. Ellis would be hurt when he learned | didn’t break up with David. The purpose of this date was to break up with him, not get engaged. 4

‘What do you mean by that?” his voice was dangerous. His alpha
aura swirled around the car, but | didn’t fear him. David was a powerful alpha, but his aura wasn’t as oppressing or dangerous as Ellis’s.
“| still love Ellis... David, I’m sorry to do this but-”

No,” he interrupted me.
‘No?’ Vee decided to chime in. She scoffed. My lycan hated his guts at that moment. | pulled her back to the back of my mind before she said something careless. Vee had a sharp tongue.
