"You don't want a mate and neither do I. So for the sake of our wolves, let's just complete the mating process and part away like... friends?" Quillon said and I stared at him in disbelief. Isn't he supposed to be my 'Soul mate?' And is this what soul mates say? "Friends?" I said grinding my teeth together. "You make this outrageous proposal and expect me to be friends with you?" I questioned incredulously. "Right now, I feel so friendly towards you that if you drop dead, then I would dance on your corpse." "Fine" he shrugged. "Your loss." "Oh don't worry! I can find someone way better than you" I launched furiously. Quillon might be good-looking but he is also a major A-hole! "Think it's that easy, Darya?" he queried cocking one perfect brow and I glared at him. "Let me see you try." **** Darya Kenrick, an Alpha's sister, has been playing Russian roulette with her life ever since she shifted for the first time.
