When I pushed open the door to the hunting lodge in the Silent Woods, Cassian Grey had Camille Hart pinned against the fireplace, his head lowered as his fangs sank into her neck. It was the kind of mark that could only be given by fated mates. I didn't scream, nor did I barge in. I simply stepped back outside and gently closed the door behind me. An hour earlier, I had severed our mating bond by my own hand before the altar at Moonwell. The old scar over my heart, the one that had been with me for twelve years, was splitting open inch by inch, blood striking the snow beneath me. Cassian, did you think you were cheating on me? No, you were wrong. I'd already stopped loving you long before you ever betrayed me. Before the moon set, someone would be waiting for me at Border Crossing, and that would be the beginning of the second love of my life. As for the bite you'd given another woman, it would be the first curse the Moon Goddess had ever laid upon you.
