Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Her First Bite Back

"My bad."

I stepped back from the collision, my automatic apology falling from my lips. When I looked up, my entire body froze as I recognized who stood before me. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Harry. One of Silvano’s closest confidants.

Silvano, Harry, Adrian, Levi and the others had grown up together as future leaders of their respective packs. Their bond was unbreakable – forged through childhood adventures, teenage challenges, and now adult responsibilities in maintaining the delicate balance of power between their territories.

Yet in all these years – Silvano had systematically excluded me from his circle of friends. I had never been permitted entry into that sacred space. They had never been more than distant acquaintances to me – not even worthy of a respectful nod when our paths crossed.

But Aurora... she had been different. Silvano had proudly introduced her to Harry and the others almost immediately. When Aurora celebrated her birthday, Silvano had Harry and the others help arrange the celebration. Now that she was racing, they had all come to support her...

The whispers among pack members told me Aurora had already become remarkably close with Harry and the others. So close that they included her in their gatherings even when Silvano wasn’t present. They had fully accepted her as one of their own.

Perhaps that explained why, in the last two years, whenever Harry or the others saw me, their attitudes had grown increasingly colder. I had once hoped to build relationships with them – to be accepted as their Alpha’s mate – but they’d never cared for me. Never given me a chance.

I also had my pride. Once their attitudes became clear, I stopped trying to force connections. Still, whenever we met, I would always offer polite greetings when necessary.

Usually, I was met with indifference or outright disdain.

This time, I didn’t plan to say anything. I simply attempted to bypass Harry and leave.
