Aurelia confronts Alpha Caleb's betrayal after he sides with his secretary.
Aurelia endures mockery from her fiancé Caleb's Omega secretary, who flaunts the pack's black card on a luxury shopping spree and insults Aurelia as a backgroundless Rogue leech. When Aurelia cuts off the secretary's card access, the woman faces public decline and Enforcer detention. Instead of supporting his mate, Caleb embraces Aurelia from behind, bites her earlobe, and chastises her for embarrassing the secretary. Weeks later, on their anniversary at the exclusive Cloud Room, Caleb vanishes after ordering extravagant wine and caviar, leaving Aurelia stranded with a frozen supplementary card as the restaurant closes.
