Riding with Moon turned out to be harder than I imagined. I couldn’t shake the feeling of how close he sat, or the way he kept sneaking glances at me when he thought I wouldn’t notice.

When the carriage finally stopped in front of Hue Pack, I stepped down gently. Moon followed right after.

I should come with you, help you pack,” he offered.

“It’s not much,” I said with a small smile. “Stay here. I’ll be out soon.”

I walked through the gates alone, the night air biting into my exposed neck. As soon as I stepped in, the pack members bustling with their night tasks froze and turned to stare.

A cheat. At broad nightlight. Not even the decency to wait until the mate bond was broken.

Damn it all.

I spun toward my wardrobe and began throwing clothes into a bag. I reached for my shoes just as footsteps echoed in the hallway.
