Turned out Tanya and mother went to concoct so false rumors about me to him. And him being the alpha of his pack didn't want to soil his reputation and so decided to cut ties with me.
Guess who he began an affair with less than a month later? Tanya, my sister.
I was boiling in anger as I watched the two 'lovebirds' but decided not to do anything irrational. Instead, I got close to them so they could at least know I was around already.
None of them seemed to acknowledge my presence. Not even Rowan.
It wasn't until I heard them speak like I wasn't there that it dawned on me that something was wrong.
"Mom, Alice is still not here," Tanya lamented to mother while feigning hurt. Yes, I could tell she was pretending because that's what she ever does.
"I have texted her and even called her but she's not getting back to me," Liam, my stepbrother, said in response.
"She called me saying something about her being in trouble. I know she was looking for an excuse not to show up," Mother told them and I felt disdain rile up in me. She really didn't care about me.
"Is she still holding a grudge against me? But it's my wedding. Whatever grudge she has, can't she leave it until later?" Tanya said.
