I am the destined mate of Damian, the Alpha of the Dark Moon pack, yet I willingly endure his betrayal with the cunning she-wolf, Ella.
"Tonight, I'm bringing Ella back to the Alpha's residence. You'd better not show up."
Nursing my wounds in a small cabin on the outskirts of the pack territory, I couldn't avoid witnessing them embrace as they entered the sacred grounds, barely closing the door before passionately entangling themselves.
My thoughts were simple: to love someone is to love what they love.
I was bewitched by Damian. If I couldn't have him, I was willing to be a Luna in name only.
But when the vampire army attacked, I saw Damian rush to Ella's side, cradling her to safety.
Meanwhile, I was crushed beneath a fallen ancient tree and boulders, closing my eyes forever.
I regretted it then; no mate bond was worth more than my own life.
After being reborn, I decided to sever all ties with Damian.
But now, he's the one with regrets.

Abandoned by my Alpha, I awakened

My sharp rhetoric clearly left him defenseless.


He could only stare at me blankly, then finally managed to sputter, "You don't know anything!"


In the end, he didn't offer to pick me up after all, but slunk away from the medical center with his tail between his legs.


As expected, deep down, that wolf-man knew exactly what was up.


Didn't he realize that if he just gave up everything from his pack, gave up his so-called Alpha status, he could have the girl of his dreams?


Why listen to his parents and mark someone he doesn't love?


It's nothing but trying to have his cake and eat it too.


I clicked my tongue a couple times in disdain, getting ready to pack up and leave the medical center.


But before I could reach my luggage, a large hand with distinct knuckles beat me to it.


I looked up to see who the hand belonged to - it was Lucian.


There was a genuine smile at his lips. "I'll take you."
