"Annette? Why are you here?" Roxanne looked surprised when Annette showed up in the study room.

"Why?" Annette asked, puzzled.

"I saw Kyle heading to the dorm with a girl. Wasn't that you?" Roxanne said.

Annette was a college student at a werewolf university. She was lucky and met her mate Kyle here.

Kyle was Alpha's son, from the Crystal Pack. Luna Fiona, his mother, was the president of the university.

Annette and Kyle were an enviable couple at the werewolf university after they realized that they were mates.

Annette wondered why Roxanne asked. Then she felt a sharp pain in her heart, which spread rapidly through her body.

She pressed her chest and fell prone on the table.

"Annette, are you OK?" Roxanne sounded worried.

"I don't know. I felt a sudden pain in my heart and my body," Annette said, her face pale.

Roxanne said, "There are only two explanations, well, quotes from the teachers. First, your mate is dying."

"Dying?" A line etched between Annette's brows. "I don't think so. What about the other one?"

Roxanne hesitated and said awkwardly, "Well, maybe Kyle is cheating on you right now."

"That's impossible!" Annette almost shouted. She tossed her books into her bag and stormed out of the room.

Annette dashed toward Kyle's dorm, her pain growing worse as she ran.

She didn't believe Roxanne. Kyle was her mate and they were perfectly in love.

They were passionate about each other and there was no way that he would cheat on her.

The pain became unbearable as she stood outside Kyle's dorm.

She grasped the doorknob and twisted it slowly.

She walked in. Moans from a man and a woman came through the bedroom.

Annette knew the woman's voice. It belonged to Lena, her friend.

Lena gasped with lust. "Kyle, mark me!"

Annette darted to the bedroom.

She was stunned at the scene. Kyle was in bed with Lena, both of them naked.

Annette's vision blurred. Her eyes flooded with tears.

She heard the thud of pain under her chest, though she still found it hard to believe what was going on.

Lena saw Annette standing in the doorway. She screamed and wrapped herself in the quilt.

Kyle jumped off the bed. Lust faded from his eyes and he panicked.

"Annette, hear me out..."

Annette cut in, "I will reject you, Kyle!"

Kyle shouted, "No!"

Annette wiped her tears and took a few steps back. Then, she turned around and rushed out of Kyle's dorm.

Kyle almost ran after her but halted his steps because he was naked. He roared in rage.

Annette left the university crying. Though the physical pain was gone, her heartache was still killing her.
