Chapter 10

Tony

As soon as I’m out of eyeshot of the hospital, I tear up. I’m not sure whether I’m happy or sad, angry or confused, relieved or terrified. I don’t know. There’s not exactly a manual for how to deal with a situation like this. There’s no guide that explains what you’re supposed to do when you find out that two terrible years are the result of a misunderstanding.

A mistake.

A lie.

Cynthina is a wolf who should have learned long ago to mind her own business, but somehow, she didn’t. Somehow, she didn’t get the memo that you don’t get to screw with other people’s lives. Somehow, she didn’t learn that it’s not okay to screw up someone’s marriage simply because you’re selfish.

And oh, Cynthia is selfish.

I find myself driving to her house on instinct. I know where she lives; she’s live in the same place since high school. When I arrive, I park my car on the street and just stare at the little home. It’s blue with white shutters and she even has a picket fence. She’s engaged, last I heard, and I think she has a cub on the way.

Maybe I should forgive her and just move on. Maybe I should forget about what she did, about what she said to Dana, but I can’t. I’m not that good of a man. I probably should be, but I’m not, so after a deep breath, I march up to her front door and ring the bell.

And then I wait.

It’s only a few seconds before Cynthia opens the door. She seems surprised to see me, but she smiles.

“Tony,” she says. “What brings you here? Come to invite me to dinner?”

“On the contrary, I’d like to know why you decided to ruin my marriage by telling Dana you were sleeping with me.”

Her face pales and I know I’ve got her. Even without a shred of evidence, her guilt is obvious. She looks surprised, and then scared, and finally, anger settles on her face.

“That’s quite the accusation,” she says. “Maybe I should be asking you why you think it’s socially acceptable to come over to my house and start dredging up shit from the past.”

“That’s just the thing,” I glare and take a step forward, purposely invading her space. If I can make her uncomfortable, that’s better for me. People are more likely to talk when they’re uncomfortable, when they’re nervous. People are more likely to say things they didn’t intend to say when they can’t think straight. “It’s not the past for me.”

“And what the hell is that supposed to mean?”

“It means Dana is back in town, Cynthia. She’s my mate and I’m going to marry that woman, so you’d better think long and hard before you tell me again you didn’t lie to her. You’d better think carefully before you tell me you weren’t the one behind our breakup because if you don’t, I’ll make sure every wolf in the pack knows exactly what you did.”

Cynthia looks up at me and she doesn’t speak.
