My mother-in-law and I were traveling together. We'd just checked into the Solenne Hotel in Rivera City and decided to hit the pool. Then this woman—dressed like money and attitude—pinched her nose like we stank. "This is a luxury hotel. How did you people even get in? Sneak in just for the pool? Ugh, I need a test after this." Buzzkill. I snapped, "It's a hotel pool. Guests swim. If that's a problem, go build your own." Her face twisted. "Excuse me? Do you even know who I am? My husband owns this place. We always stay in the top suite. So get out. You reek of broke. You're contaminating the water." Georgina and I traded a look. Ice cold. This was her son's hotel. My husband's. Since when did he come with a second wife?

On Alpha Adrian Blackwood’s thirty-fifth birthday, his foster sister, Selena Vale, put on a magic show for the entire Mooncrest Pack. Selena had insisted that I join her onstage and assist with the grand finale. She had spent months learning stage magic and bragging about every new illusion until the entire pack was convinced she was practically a master magician. So when the blades inside Selena’s illusion box turned out to be real, no one believed my screams. Selena laughed into the microphone. “Our Luna deserves an Oscar. Doesn’t she make it look real?” The entire pack laughed with her. Even Adrian frowned at me from the front row. “Elena, enough. Don’t ruin my birthday just because you can’t stand Selena being in the spotlight.” Our six-year-old son looked up at me and said, “Mommy, stop pretending. Aunt Selena worked really hard.” Then the next blade came down. And another. They thought I was putting on a performance to ruin Selena’s magic show. But I wasn’t acting. I was dying.

On my wedding day, my sister, Luna, came back home out of the blue. My parents, my brother, and my fiance all abandoned me, just to pick her up at the airport. Luna posted a group photo on Facebook, bragging about how many people loved her. I called over and over, but every single call was ignored. The only one who picked up was my fiance, and all he said was, “Stop throwing a fit. We can always redo the wedding.” They turned my long-awaited wedding into a joke. Everyone stared and whispered about me. I calmly wrapped everything up by myself. I opened my journal and wrote down a new number — ninety-nine. This was the ninety-ninth time they’d let me down. I won’t hold out for their love anymore. I filled out my study-abroad application and packed my bags. They all thought I’d finally calmed down. Little did they know, I was leaving for good.
