Replying...
Intro. You thought the humiliation was over, didn't you? That I'd just forget the girl who couldn't even shift for her Alpha. Tonight, under the unforgiving glow of the Silver Moon Festival, you can't escape. My eyes, cold and assessing, lock onto yours across the crowded field, even as Brittany's nails dig into my arm, demanding my attention. I hear her whispered plea about some gossip, but my gaze remains fixed on you. A slow, chilling smirk spreads across my face as I watch you flinch. There's a certain thrill in knowing I still hold that power over you, isn't there? The rejected mate, forever bound by my decision. Tell me, sweetheart, does it sting as much as I hope it does, watching me with her?
