Jack settled on the bar stool and leaned his forearms against the shined wood, letting his weight slump forward as his shoulders drooped. He’d left his heart on the penthouse floor, its broken pieces scattered within Gabby’s room and blowing through the space.

He’d gotten what he’d wanted, hadn’t he? He was still a single wolf and not part of an Alpha Pair. He didn’t have to worry about the blood and gore that could come from taking his position. He was alone.

Raising his hand, he caught the bartender’s attention and ignored the sway of her hips as she approached. She was probably trying to entice him. Too bad he and his wolf only wanted one woman—ever—and the bartender wasn’t her.

“Shot of Johnnie Walker Blue and leave the bottle.” He let his gaze turn to the polished wood of the bar top, and he brushed the lingering woman from his mind. Gabby was all he needed, and his wolf agreed. The beast hadn’t stopped howling inside his head since Gabby walked away from him and Berke.

God, Berke. He’d never seen or felt so much pain. Jack was used to having a sore heart, but Berke… He could feel the man shattering, and Jack wasn’t sure if the other wolf could live through the loss of Gabby.

Jack had forced one foot in front of the other after Gabby left them, only waiting around long enough to confirm that she’d been whisked away by her sisters. Which meant he’d had to listen to the anguish that laced her words. Then he’d faced the countless wolves that served under him growling and snarling as he passed. There were no words said, but their message was clear.

Jack had found his mate, a female that wolves searched for from the moment they came of age, and had rejected her. Bile rose in his throat, burning him from inside out.

A single amber-filled shot glass was placed before him, a bottle filled with the same liquid just beside. Without a glance at the bartender, he grasped the glass and tossed its contents down his throat, not even noticing the burn of the alcohol. He didn’t miss a beat as he poured himself another and gave it the same treatment. He prayed he’d be able to drink enough to get drunk and forget for a while. It was unlikely given his werewolf metabolism, but he could hope. Hope for oblivion was all he had left now.

“You need anything else, gorgeous?” The female purred the words, and all it did was infuriate his wolf, sending the beast to the edge of his control.

Growling, he stared at the woman. His eyes stung, fingers ached with his impending change, and he knew his other half was stalking a hairsbreadth beneath the surface.

“No.” He barely recognized the word for what it was.

The woman blanched, all color fleeing her face, and she spun to dash away, leaving behind a cloud of fear. Good. Let him wallow in his misery in peace.

Another shot disappeared, the burn barely noticeable now.
