I was supposed to be Alpha Damian's destined mate. But there I was, at the celebration just before he came of age, and he totally humiliated me in front of everyone.
The music was blasting. He was holding another she-wolf's hand when he announced, "It's my honor to tell you all that Seraphina will be my official chosen mate."
Everyone cheered. And me? I was standing in the shadows, my hand gripping tight around that Moonstone – the one that means power.
"See?" his Beta sneered right in my ear. "Only she-wolves from a noble bloodline can truly capture an Alpha's heart. Not a loser like you who's always messing with humans."
He'd forgotten, hadn't he? How three years ago, I saved his life. My right wrist got shredded by magic trying to protect him – it was almost completely ruined.
When the party was finally over, I stared right into his golden eyes, my voice ice cold. "Damian, your Alpha ceremony is in one month. And trust me, I'll have two very 'special gifts' ready for you then."
"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked, his eyes suddenly sharp.
"Oh, you'll find out," I said, already heading for the door. "I'm so over this damn fated bond."

After the Alpha Abandoned His Luna

The explosion roared in my ears. I saw Raven's twisted grin, Damian's blood, and the cafe crumbling all around us.


"Alara, run!" Damian yelled, still in the thick of the fight.


A huge beam tore loose from the ceiling. Time seemed to stand still. Damian moved with unbelievable speed, diving at me and shoving me out of the way. The beam slammed down on him.


"Damian!" My scream cut through the smoke.


Raven, a triumphant grin on his face, lunged for the injured Damian. Without a second thought, I unleashed all my power. A blinding blue light shot from my fingertips and slammed into Raven. He screamed as the energy wave blasted him back several meters.


"Hang in there, Damian," I choked out, kneeling beside him, trying to shift the beam.


"Go... Alara... run..." His voice was barely a whisper.
