"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.

　　The girl with black hair let out a sigh. "Come on," she muttered to the red-headed girl, urging her to leave.


　　The red-headed girl let out a mocking laugh. "You act like you're so different from us just because you almost became the Alpha's Luna of the Sunflower Pack. But let's face it, you're not even welcome here because that pack is..." she trailed off, chuckling to herself. "Well, I won't say it, but isn't it amusing? No matter what you do, you'll always be the second choice."


　　I froze in my tracks at her words, feeling a pang of hurt deep within.


　　"The Alpha of this pack saved you," she continued, her tone dripping with disdain. "But let's not forget, the Luna is from the Black River Pack. Who knows what will happen when she returns... And Bathel Harris? Well, he abandoned you because you'll never be his ultimate choice."


　　I listened to her words with a calm smile, acknowledging them without letting them affect me.
