Ann admired herself happily in the full-length mirror as the seamstress said her goodbyes and left the room with an armful of gowns.

The numbness that had led Ann into the city had begun to fade and the pain that coursed through her heart was excruciating. With a small sigh, Ann continued along the hallway with the skirts of her wedding dress bunched up and held tightly in her arms. Ann’s wolf Maeve had remained silent throughout all of this, but Ann could feel the fury coursing through her. We have a business to attend to in the city so we can collect you tomorrow night from your parent’s pack.At first, she tried to censure the men for being perverts and deciding to discuss in the women’s bathroom but after they showed her it was actually the men’s bathroom, she was shocked. An icy chill descended over Ann as if a bucket of ice water had been thrown over her and she stood and stared, her eyes wide and mouth slightly open in disbelief. Ada came to a stop in front of A*n and folded her arms as she ran her eyes disdainfully over her disheveled appearance.

Even though her father had betrayed her mother and taken a mistress, Ann couldn’t help but feel that if her mother had lived, things would have been infinitely easier. It was very rare for either partner to seek others out for fulfillment because their wolves simply wouldn’t allow it. He would see it tomorrow but… they had so little time together anymore, it might be nice to spend the last night here with him as his daughter.Her face hardened as she heard the familiar tones of her step-sister and stepmother, with the occasional comment from her father.

Upon further investigation, she was shocked to catch her future husband in bed with her step-sister Ada who saw her staring at them and sneered at her with contempt. As she navigated her way through the extensive grounds and into her home, she shut the side entrance door as quietly as possible, desperate not to draw attention to herself arriving home so late at night. A club so loud that even her wolf who rarely spoke to her protested and then she went to a more soothing one that served strong alcohol that could knock werewolves out no matter their tolerance to alcohol.

Ann had walked along in a daze for quite a while, her mind reeling with the scene that she had stumbled upon.
