My heart raced as Alaric spoke, excitement coursing through my entire body. I turned to look at Delilah, who was standing next to me. Our gazes met, and she gave me a cold stare.
"With you all as my witnesses, I present to you my Luna, Delilah Fairchild."
Wait! What? Delilah, not Daisy? What's going on here? Is this some kind of mistake?
Alaric avoided my gaze as I turned to look at him, seeking confirmation if what I heard was indeed true.
He then walked to the end of the stage where Delilah and I stood, reaching out to take Delilah's hands and help her onto the stage.
"I told you not to try too hard, sis. He has always been mine. Do you get it now?" Delilah whispered to me before she ascended the stage.

***

Daisy and Delilah, twin sisters, shared everything and loved each other deeply until they both developed feelings for the same man- Alaric Blackwood, the Alpha of the Blackwood pack.
The happiest day of Daisy's life was when she discovered that Alaric was her mate. "I will declare you as my Luna after my coronation as the Alpha of the Blackwood Pack," Alaric had assured her.
Filled with anticipation, Daisy looked forward to Alaric's coronation, when he would publicly declare her as his Luna. However, the situation took a dramatic turn when, in front of all pack members, Alaric chose Delilah over Daisy, despite their fated bond.
Unable to bear the rejection, Daisy fled and was subsequently attacked by a beast. Fortunately, she was rescued by the mysterious Draco, who showed her nothing but kindness...

Rejected By My Mate, Chosen By The Lycan King

　　My eyes blazing with fierce defensiveness. I picked up a stone, my body tensed, ready to spring into action, as if I was prepared to fight for my life. I scrambled backward, my hands behind me, supporting my weight.


　　"Don't you dare step any closer!" I cautioned, my voice trembling with fear.


　　I scooted my backside along the floor, attempting to create more distance between us. My eyes remained locked on the figure, silently begging him to stay away.


　　Fear gripped me, I had no idea what he might do. All I knew was I had to escape, to safeguard myself. So, I continued retreating, my heart pounding, breaths shallow and quick.


　　"If you come any closer, I will smack this stone on your head!" I declared, attempting to sound more courageous than I truly felt.


　　"Relax and put away the stone, I'm not here to harm you," Alaric assured me as he approached me.
