What would you do if you were fated to someone whose heart belongs to another? Would you fight for control, or simply exit, stage left? This is the big question playing through Luciano's mind. Luciano is a werewolf. His mate is human. A married human. Will fate prevail? Or will he walk away?

Sometimes fate just has to mess with a good thing. Hopefully it has a good reason. Hello, my name is Amber Rayne, and this is my story. 
As I stood in front of my stove watching the gurgling pot of sauce, I couldnt help but sigh in contentment at how my life was going. Perfect husband, works hards, and loves harder. 

As I stand in the field surrounded by a multitude of bodies and covered in blood, I can't help but think of what brought me here. My mate. Or lack thereof. I have searched to the ends of the earth since the day I turned 18 but to no avail. She doesn't exsist. It's the only reason I can imagine. Why the MoonGoddess feels I do not deserve love is beyond my ability to understand.

Already Taken

We make our way upstairs, none of us in a hurry to face what is to come. Part of me relishes in the idea of telling her what an actor her 'husband' is. While the other part, the man that loves her and hates to see her hurting, wants to hide her from the truth. But the decision is not just in my hands anymore. The kids have seen it for themselves, and I'm not sure what they intend to reveal. 


"Do you want me to tell her, or would you like to do the honor?" I ask them. 


"We all will. We can't hide what happened from her. She already knows he was here. She needs to know what's wrong." Ben said quietly. 


Nodding in agreement, I release a breath of tension, and knock on the door. The silence that greets me is deafening.
