"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.

　　I find myself laughing, a hollow sound that echoes through the silent forest. Almost instinctively, I brace myself for the impending threat, questioning his intentions. "Are you here to hurt me?" I inquire, my voice is devoid of emotion.


　　Ares studies me with a penetrating gaze, his expression unreadable. He shakes his head slowly, his voice gentle yet firm. "I could never hurt you, Dana-"


　　"You've already hurt me," I correct him sharply. "Emotionally, and aren't you the one who conspired with Blaire to orchestrate that plan to torture me?" I accuse, watching for any hint of guilt in his expression.


　　Ares quickly shakes his head in denial. "I did not know Blaire's plan," he insists earnestly.


　　I laugh bitterly. "And why should I believe you?" I mock, my voice dripping with skepticism. "I hardly recognize you anymore-"


　　"You don't realize that you still take my breath away, Dana," he interrupts, his words sincere and heartfelt.
