Levi's POV
"Congratulations." A pack member offered his well-wishes, and I only nodded in response. The hall was filled with celebration; the pack members seemed genuinely happy. It felt like a real wedding. My eyes swept across the room, taking in the joy on their faces, and then they landed on Anita. She was beaming, chatting animatedly with a group of she-wolves.
She looked happy. She looked fulfilled.
She was satisfied being our concubine.
And me? I should be happy, too. This was exactly what I wanted—maybe not entirely, but it was what I had decided. A punishment for Olivia. I knew making Anita our concubine would wound her deeply, and that was precisely my intention. I wanted her to suffer, to taste even a fraction of the pain she had put me through.
But sitting here, watching her, I felt nothing. No satisfaction. No victory. Only an unsettling weight in my chest, like I had made a mistake.
