“Do I look odd to you?”
My throat tightens up…
My eyes trace the black ink swirls of his sleeve tattoo, and the breeze carries his scent to me. I feel overwhelmed with the urge to touch the markings on his skin, to run my fingers through his dark hair.
Desire, sharp as a blade, slices through me and I’m shocked at myself, unsure of where it came from.
Vanessa thought she was lucky to find her fated mate. But on the day of their ceremony, he chooses her best friend to be his Luna instead. 
He scorns their bond and humiliates her, quickly turning her into the pariah of the pack and ruining her future. Then lures her with an explanation, before nearly killing her. 
She’s saved by Shawn–Alpha of a rival pack–but she’s mistrustful and has to learn to open her heart again. 
Can she be happy with someone who isn’t her mate? And what happens when her old pack decides they want her back?

The Broken Fate of a Fated Mate

When I woke up alone after our night together, it felt like my world shattered. 


I ran out immediately to try and find Vanessa, but Amara let me know that she was already gone. I understood why she did it, in retrospect. If she felt even half as lost as I did in the days she was gone, I could imagine that enough begging from me might’ve changed her mind. 


As much as I hated to admit it, as much as the knowledge that she was outside of my protection killed me, I knew that she needed to realize the extent of her own strength if she was ever going to be Luna. She had the intelligence, the grit and the heart of a leader. But she lacked confidence. She allowed her past to stall her progress for so long that it still held a vice around her potential.


But the Vanessa that I saw coming over that horizon was changed. I could tell, even just from one look at her.
