Valen POV

My entire world came crashing down violently around me. Everything I thought I knew about her was wrong, so very f*cking wrong. How didn’t I see it? She was wrong for me, and for a few seconds, I thought I had found my mate, the mate that was supposed to be my other half turned out to be a liar. She lied straight to my face. I thought when I met her I could look past it if she were a rogue-whore but now faced with the truth, I realize how utterly idiotic that thought was.

“Valen, what the f*ck, bro!” Marcus says as I walk across the car park. I ignore him.

“Valen, you can’t just leave, “

“She lied to me,” I snarl at him while walking over to his car. I should have brought my own.

“Keys!” I snap at him, and he fishes them out of his jeans pocket and tosses them at me.

” So that’s it? You aren’t going to let her explain?”

‘What’s there to explain? She f*cked some man and had a kid, pretty straight forward Marcus, ” I growl while unlocking his car. I climb into the driver’s seat and start the engine.

“You don’t know that?”

“I do know that you said she had a kid, and she admitted it,”

“That doesn’t mean you know the circumstances, Valen; for all you know, she could have been raped. She could have had him run off on her,”

“What do you want me to do Marcus, either way, she has a kid and he isn’t mine and my father will kill me if I bring a single mother home to be a god damn Luna, “

“My mother was as a single mother, your father a single father. What the f*ck does that have to do with her ability to be Luna?” Marcus snarls at me. I rub my temples instantly realizing my mistake.

“F*ck, I didn’t mean it like that.”

” No, you meant she is rogue -whore, I thought you were better than prejudice bullshit, so what if she is? She is your mate, “

just F*ck! ” I scream, flooring it
