Jake\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
Heaned back in my chair, face calm and distant.<\/p>\n
My mother\u2019s arrogance no longer surprised me.<\/p>\n

She marched up to the conference table and dropped her bag down with a loud thud. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on with you and that Omega?\u201d<\/p>\n
My brows tightened. I knew where this was going. Sure enough, she raised her voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw her at the mall today. That woman had the nerve to talk back to me. I told you before\u2013her manners are terrible. Even her birth parents don\u2019t think much of her. Why bother with her? Good thing you two are only engaged, not yet holding the mating ceremony. Let\u2019s just call it off. I\u2019ll find you a proper daughter from a better family.\u201d<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t stop there. \u201cAnd that Peggie\u2013stay away from her too. Don\u2019t fall for her story about leaving you and then getting a heart condition. She\u2019s just trying to pin her problems on you. These women are all the same, one worse than the next.\u201d<\/p>\n
Listening to her go on and on, frustration burned in me. \u201cMom, stay out of my love life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her eyes flashed. \u201cOf course they\u2019re my business! You\u2019re the only sole future Alpha of the Olsendreich Pack. Your Luna represents the reputation of this pack and the future bloodline. I never liked Deanna, but you insisted she clung to you so much that I gave in. Now her true colors are showing. You need to dump her today.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t break up with her,\u201d I said without hesitation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? After everything she\u2019s done, you still won\u2019t leave her? Jake, you\u2019re out of your mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stood up, done with her ranting.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the Alpha, I\u2019ll handle my duty. But my marriage is none of your business. And stop picking on Deanna.\u201d<\/p>\n
I turned and walked out.<\/p>\n
Behind me, her loud voice echoed, \u201cHow is this me picking on her? She embarrassed me in public today and made me look bad in front of everyone!\u201d<\/p>\n
Outside the meeting room, I called Axel over.<\/p>\n
\u201cHas LA finished the ceremonial gown?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s ready,\u201d Axel replied. \u201cI also secured the Everlove jewelry set from the auction house. Everything\u2019s waiting for Ms. Deanna to try<\/p>\n
on.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Everlove set had cost me fifty million dollars.<\/p>\n
But I didn\u2019t care. I had promised Deanna the grandest wedding anyone had ever seen. She would be the most beautiful bride.<\/p>\n
I was lost in thought when my phone rang.<\/p>\n
It was Peggie.<\/p>\n

I answered. Her gentle, cheerful voice came through.<\/p>\n
Jake, I had some free time today, so I made desserts. Want to come try them?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018I can\u2019t make it today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her voice fell flat.<\/p>\n
\u2018Oh! Is something going on?\u201d<\/p>\n
hesitated, then said, \u201cDeanna\u2019s trying on her ceremonial gown today.\u201d<\/p>\n

My hand froze around the phone.<\/p>\n
eremonial gown?<\/p>\n
Did that mean the mating ceremony date was set?<\/p>\n

My voice shook as I blurted, \u201cJake, I know I\u2019m asking too much. But I\u2019m scheduled for a heart transplant next week. Can you wait Intil after my surgery before you two move forward with the gown fitting?\u201d<\/p>\n
His tone turned cold. \u201cPeggie, the transplant is about your health. You can\u2019t use it as leverage. Jorge will take good care of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The line went dead before I could answer.<\/p>\n
stared at the dark phone screen, frustration and anger rushing through me. With a sharp motion, I tossed the phone onto the bed.<\/p>\n
.ast night I pretended to faint just to make Jake stay. But even then, he was restless the whole time. He tried to leave more than \u203ance. If I hadn\u2019t cried and begged, saying I was afraid something might happen in the middle of the night, he never would have tayed.<\/p>\n
ately, I could feel it\u2013Jake\u2019s patience with me was wearing thin. He wasn\u2019t treating me with the same care as before.<\/p>\n
Vo.<\/p>\n
couldn\u2019t let this keep going. If it did, Jake would end up choosing Deanna over me.<\/p>\n
Just as my thoughts spun out of control, the door to the hospital room opened. Jorge walked in with a tray of medicine.<\/p>\n
When he saw me wiping tears from my face, his shoes clicked softly against the floor. His eyes were heavy with worry.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeggie, time for your medicine.\u201d His voice was as gentle as always as he held the pills out to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cJake said he\u2019s taking Deanna to try on her ceremonial gown for the mating ceremony. Where are they going? I have to stop them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jorge pressed a firm hand on my shoulder. \u201cPeggie, you\u2019re about to have heart surgery. You can\u2019t get worked up.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Jake made that woman his Luna, then what\u2019s the point of saving this heart? It won\u2019t matter anymore!\u201d I broke free from his hand, tears spilling down like beads from a broken necklace.<\/p>\n

Jorge\u2019s voice rose sharply. \u201cDo you have any idea how much money and effort went into finding this donor heart? People wait their entire lives and never get the chance you\u2019re getting! And you still don\u2019t treasure it?\u201d<\/p>\n
The anger in his voice made me flinch. I realized I had gone too far. Quickly, I lowered my eyes and cried harder. \u201cJorge, I\u2019m sorry. I just love Jake too much. I\u2019m scared that once I recover, he won\u2019t come see me anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jorge let out a long sigh. His tone softened again. \u201cJake isn\u2019t like that. He wants you to get better. Think about it\u2013since you came back, he\u2019s been by your side every time you needed him. He cares about you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I wiped at my wet cheeks, nodding.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right. Jake\u2019s been so good to me. I need to get well so I can be worthy of him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jorge\u2019s eyes flickered with something complicated. He sighed again and said quietly. \u201cPeggie, sometimes\u2026 Maybe you should pay attention to the people standing right next to you too, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you say, Jorge?\u201d I blinked at him, pretending not to understand, my eyes still glistening with tears.<\/p>\n
He shook his head. \u201cNothing. Just take your medicine. I\u2019ll go cut you an apple.\u201d<\/p>\n
gave him a small smile. \u201cJorge, you\u2019re so good to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
