Chapter 203

• I swear, that woman had a death wish rubbing up against another shifter's mate like that. Trust me, Bella, if you hadn't done anything Esme would have been forced to retaliate on your behalf. It's Pack law. Mom hasn't had to step in between many Pack conflicts yet, but she was ready to kick Jessica's ass," Alice continues and it suddenly dawns on me that Alice might be able to answer the question that Edward evaded yesterday.
• "Then how come Jessica would dare do such a thing?" I ask, trying to keep my voice steady and calm. Alice hesitates and for a moment I wonder if she might not answer me either, but luckily that is not the case.
• "Well, as I told you last time we talked about this, Jessica and Edward were never in a relationship. Unmated shifters very rarely have any real relationships prior to the imprint," Alice curls her lip as though she's just tasted something horrible.
