The next day, I found myself standing outside Frost’s apartment, my knuckles poised to knock but not quite making contact with the wood. I needed comfort, release, someone to lose myself in. Someone who could make me forget everything through physical connection. I craved the oblivion that only sex could provide right now.
Before I could decide, voices from inside caught my attention–Frost and a woman. I recognized her voice from pack gatherings. Gloria, one of the she–wolves who always hung around him with unconcealed adoration.
“So you are what?, breaking up with me,” her voice rang out, high with emotion.
“Yes, Gracia,” Frost replied, his tone steady.
“Why Frost? Is there anything I did wrong?”
“No, there is none.”
The hurt in her voice was painful to hear, reminding me too much of my own recent heartbreak. “Why? Why do you choose to break my heart? I thought we were perfect together; despite what others told me, I believed you were different; I believe you won’t hurt me, and now… now you do this!”
“It had to come to an end; would you rather this went on for a few more years before I break it up?” Frost’s logic was cold, reminding me uncomfortably of Kaius.
“No, I would prefer, you never breaking it up. I thought you loved me. The desperation in her voice made me cringe, too familiar to my own pleas for Kaius to say those same words.
“I cared, and I apologize deeply. If there is anything I could do for you, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.”
A crash of breaking glass made me jump, followed by more sounds of destruction.
“I think you are unique, and there would be someone else for you, someone more deserving.” Frost’s voice remained steady despite the chaos.

“No… I just want you, Beta. It is you I want.” Her voice had gone from angry to pleading.
“I’m sorry…” He sounded genuinely regretful.
“Is it because of the woman, Elowen… right?” The accusation in her voice made my stomach clench.
“The woman‘ you mean your Luna?” Frost’s tone sharpened dangerously.
“She would never be my Luna!” Gloria’s voice rose, trembling with fury.
“Hey, we might have fucked a couple of times, but that wouldn’t stop me from throwing you into the dungeons for a few nights if you speak about your Luna like that ever again. Understand?” The threat in his voice was unmistakable.
“Yes, Beta,” she responded, subdued now.
I heard footsteps approaching the door and tried to back away, but it was too late. The door swung open to reveal Gloria, her face streaked with tears, eyes widening in shock and hatred as she saw me.
“You,” she hissed, pushing past me and disappearing down the corridor.
“Where is the little eavesdropper?” Frost called from inside the apartment.

I hesitated, embarrassment flooding me. “Can you?”
“Yes,” came his reply, permission to enter.
I stepped inside, taking in the scene. A vase lay shattered on the floor, water and flow frame hung askew on the wall, its glass cracked.

“Sorry for that; Gloria made quite a mess,” Frost said, already moving to pick up the larger shards of glass.
“I’m the one who should apologise for eavesdropping; I’m so sorry… just wanted to visit, and then I heard her voice.” I knelt to help him, careful of the sharp edges.
“You have nothing to apologize for.” He glanced up, his ice–blue eyes meeting mine with unusual warmth.
“You know she was right.” I dropped my gaze, focusing on the broken glass in my hands. “I don’t know what the pack thinks of me…”
“And I don’t care; you don’t have to either.” He took the glass from me, his fingers brushing mine briefly.
