"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.

　　"My thoughts are consumed solely by her. Despite convincing myself otherwise, it's more than mere antipathy. My heart longs for her deeply," he admitted, pausing for a significant moment. "She has been my sole beacon of happiness, particularly since the affection from my parents began to wane."


　　"It wasn't some fleeting infatuation or a product of youthful naivety. My feelings for her are genuine, and I'm painfully aware of my selfishness and folly in sacrificing our relationship for the sake of pack power and petty distractions," my voice trembled with emotion, noticing the shift in his expression.


　　"I refuse to let her slip through my fingers," I declared. "Even if she hasn't officially assumed the role of Luna within that pack. I won't allow it. I'm indifferent to the potential loss of alliances or even an entire pack. All I care about is having her by my side once more. I need her back with me."
