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

Inside the hospital, she is ripped from my arms by the shocked doctor and nurses. They take her straight to the back, my warriors holding me back from following them. Once she is out of sight, I scream out my pain, collapsing to my knees. I no longer can hold my head high. I let this happen. What kind of man am I, to allow her to be taken and so badly abused. As I let out my frustration on the hospital floor, I feel delicate arms wrap around my neck the best they can. I look up to find Dawn kneeling beside me, tears in her eyes, and a broken heart on her sleeve. 


"She will be ok. We have to believe it. Besides, my mom is stubborn. She won't let this take her down." 


As I stared in awe at the strong willed little girl in front of me, I couldn't help but feel blessed at having her come into my life. Both of them. I placed my arms around her shoulder and squeezed back, showing her my support as well.
