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

After a few minutes, I spot Taylor standing just inside the border of trees surrounding the pack land. Not sure how to approach him, I just stand silently, watching him. 


With much deliberation, I make my way over to where he is. Since he hasn't shown any sign of hearing me, I gently place my hand on his arm to get his attention. 


The moment my hand connects with him, he whips around to look at me. His eyes are a bright golden, lit by a fire that I can't understand. Before I can ask if he is alright, I am pulled into a bone crushing embrace. My body goes stiff from the shock, as I hold my breath, not sure how to react to this odd intrusion. 


I feel the shudder race through his body as we are pressed together. Maybe he is hurting so bad that he doesn't even realize who I am. With a sigh, I tilt my head up and ask him, "Are you ok?" 


Moving his head from my neck, he nods. " I am now."
