"Wait, so she's his mate? What a tragic fate for the Alpha to be bound to an Omega." I caught snippets of hushed conversations drifting through the air.
With a defiant glare, Ares boldly declared, "You're all wrong."
I gaze at him, my eyes filled with longing, desperately yearning for his protective embrace.
"She's nothing more than an Omega, a feeble wolf, a fragile girl with no power, and she will never, ever be worthy of being my Luna," he declared with an icy tone. 
It's all coldness. I can sense a sharp pang of pain piercing through my heart.
"I, Ares Zander Hendrix, the fierce and commanding Alpha of the Moon Stone Pack, forcefully cast you aside, Dana Toussaint, as my mate," he declared with a cold and unyielding voice.

***
Dana Toussaint has harbored deep affection for her childhood sweetheart, Ares Xander Hendrix, the Alpha heir of the Moon Stone Pack. Ares once pledged to make her his Luna, but their connection faltered when he disappeared, leaving Dana with lingering hope amidst her pain.
After what felt like an eternity, Ares resurfaces to claim the Alpha position, but he's transformed. His indifference towards Dana wounds her deeply; he not only spurns her but replaces her with the woman responsible for her parents' demise.
Feeling betrayed, Dana's world shifts when she encounters Bathel Harris, the formidable Alpha of the Sun Flower Pack, who has long admired her. They fall in love, yet Dana's feelings for Ares remain unique.
As Ares returns, seeking Dana's forgiveness and promising change, she faces a pivotal choice: will she return to him or remain with the steadfast Bathel by her side?

The Alpha's Regret.

　　"Let's dig in and savor the flavors," I declared, offering Justin a reassuring smile before eating my meal.


　　Without so much as a glance in anyone's direction, the weighty silence hanging in the air gnawed at my nerves. Meeting Blaire's gaze, I found her staring back at me, her eye twitching slightly, a telltale sign of her inner turmoil.


　　"I never imagined my scheme would unfold in such a manner," she confessed, her voice laced with frustration as she drew a deep breath to steady herself.


　　"You should go ahead and eat. I've had my fill," I asserted firmly, dabbing at my mouth with a tissue.


　　Justin observed our exchange with an uneasy expression before hesitantly beginning to eat his meal.


　　Blaire looked at me with a hopeful expression, her eyes searching for approval. "Do you like it? You only eat the food I made..." she murmured.


　　Realization dawned on me. So that's why she was so invested in my opinion.
