Chapter Eight

“Mackenzie, wait up!”

Mackenzie turned to look at her, and let out a long, heavy sigh. “Oh. Hey.” She had circles under her eyes and her hair was sleep rumpled, but she didn’t look as if she’d had a delightful night of sex.

“What the heck happened? Everything was going so well yesterday!”

“I know, that’s what I thought too.”

Mackenzie, shoulders slumped, let Amelia lead her out of the crowd to a quiet spot under a shady oak tree, and they sat down on a huge gnarled root.

“Tell me what happened,” Amelia insisted.

Mackenzie blinked back tears. “I honestly don’t know. Ajax and I went out in the woods together yesterday afternoon, and we, uh…it was amazing. I thought it was amazing. Apparently he didn’t.”

“What do you mean?”

“Afterwards, we went to a little restaurant called Dan’s Taco’s. It’s on the festival grounds. Anyway, I was sitting there waiting for him to come back with my food. Everything felt so totally, perfectly right with him. Like I was a puzzle piece that had finally found my puzzle, and I fit in perfectly.”

Amelia could certainly understand that sentiment. It described to a T the way she felt being with Clayton and Holt.

“I was sure he was going to ask me to meet his brother next. I was sitting there waiting, and waiting…and he never came back.”

Amelia let out a squawk of outrage. “What?”

“Even worse. Some guy came over with a tray of food and said that Ajax had been called away on an emergency, and he wouldn’t be able to talk to me again. Right after that, this girl came over with a huge smirk on her face and told me that she and him were getting together, and he’d already invited her to meet his brother. She said she hoped I’d enjoyed being his last meaningless fling, and then she turned around and walked off.”

“And you didn’t punch her face in?” Amelia was boiling over with fury.

“I should have, now that I think about it. Just because of that mean look on her face. I was too busy trying to remember how to breathe.”

“Is this…typical behavior at the Claiming Festival?”

“No!” Mackenzie let out a long, shuddering breath. “Not at all. An Alpha is never supposed to lie or lead a woman on. If he’s only looking for a fling, he’s supposed to say that up front. And they always do. They have no reason to lie to a woman, they’ve got girls everywhere who are eager to jump into bed with them. Alphas are generally true gentlemen. They’re expected to lead by example, and being honest is a big part of that. Lying is really frowned on with werewolves. It shows weakness.”

Amelia stifled a groan. Great. Her whole presence here was one big lie. Clayton and Holt would absolutely hate her if they knew the truth.

She couldn’t let this go on any longer. She needed to go home.

“Something must have happened,” she suggested to Mackenzie. “He seemed fine when he went to get you food, and then he disappeared? He never came and told you personally.
