Hailey's POV
The words were familiar of course and the Gatekeeper had told me what to expect, but what greeted my eyes as I turned around threw me off balance.
It was Vickson. Not that I expected that it should be someone else but the look in his eyes as he stood in front of me breathing heavily and the shift in his countenance brought back ugly memories. This shot my confidence in the eyes, shaking it from the roots.
I have not done anything to deserve this, "I said to him, finally mastering enough strength to open my mouth and talk. "We are fated mates, you are not supposed to treat me this manner."
"You do not qualify for the position you desperately seek. Your health is poor and your wolf is the weakest in the pack." I am sorry, but Ava is a much better fit. Not only is she Alpha is also connected and rich. Goodbye, Hailey."
