MATED TO THE ALPHA I HATED
“This is Ava, my mate. Your new Luna.”
The Alpha’s voice boomed across the clearing, and in that instant, my world came crashing down.
I stood frozen, the heavy silence of the pack pressing in on me. I didn't know whether to move, to scream, or to simply collapse.
My legs felt like heavy, even as my wolf thrashed inside me, recognizing the soul crushing scent of the man standing on the podium.
Four years ago, he humiliated me in front of the entire school. He made me believe my feelings were something to be ashamed of; a joke to be laughed at. That night, I left everything behind: my home, my pack, and the boy who broke me.
I never planned to return.
But standing at the coronation of the new Alpha, fate betrayed me in the cruelest way possible. The mate bond snapped into place with a terrifying force, tying me to the very man I swore to hate forever.
I try to run.
He doesn’t let me.
Now, I’m expected to stand by his side as Luna, to smile for a pack that once laughed at my tears, and to trust an Alpha who shattered my heart into a thousand pieces.
He thinks he can own me. He thinks a bond makes up for the scars he left behind. But he’s about to find out, I’m not the girl he broke. I’m the woman who’s going to bring him to his knees.

Chapter: NEVER AGAIN“Martha! Stop climbing the tree.” I yelled standing beside the apple tree. “Aunt Ava,” Ryan called, tugging on my shirt. “Look at the car I made.”“One second Ryan, I need to get Martha from the tree.” Before I could call out to the five old again, I felt someone come beside me. It was Lily. Martha and Ryan's mother.“Martha!” She yelled. “Down. Now.” Well that did it. The girl came running down at record speed, looking at her mother who was giving her the death glare. I knew that look all too well. I'd spent most of my childhood on the receiving end of it.Martha landed on the ground and immediately tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear before looking up at her mother.The gesture hit me like a punch. My sister used to do that whenever she knew she'd been caught doing something she wasn't supposed to.Shit. It had been so long since I'd let myself think about her."I told you to keep them away from the orchard, Ava," Lily grumbled, though her lips twitched with amusement as

Chapter: WHAT HAVE I DONEJAXSON’S POVThe past two weeks had been grueling.Between border matters, winter supplies running low, and trying to keep peace within the pack, I barely felt like a man anymore. I was running on black coffee and three hours of sleep, carrying a weight that felt heavier by the day."You look like hell, Jaxson," Marcus said, leaning against the balcony railing next to me.Marcus was my Beta, but more than that, he was the closest thing I had to a real friend in this place. He was the only one who didn't bow his head every time I breathed."Thanks, Marcus," I grunted, taking a sip of cold coffee. "Appreciate the vote of confidence."Marcus chuckled, but his eyes drifted down to the courtyard below. I didn't need to look to know what he was watching. Or rather, who.Ava was down near the glasshouse, holding a crate of herbs for the elder healers. She was wearing dark jeans and a soft charcoal sweater. Simple, comfortable, and completely her.Then, she laughed.It was a real, br

Chapter: A SNAKE IN HIS BEDAVA'S POVI should have kept walking. Instead, I froze. "...I still don't understand your decision." Eleanor Hale. My mother-in-law. Even the thought of her being my mother-in-law gives me the creeps. Her voice drifted through the slightly open study door. I wasn't trying to eavesdrop. Really, I wasn't. But hearing my name was enough to root my feet to the floor. "Ava," Ethan whispered, after realising what I was doing. I raised a finger to my lips. "Shh." Ethan caught my wrist quietly as I moved closer to the door. "Don't." He said. "Why?" I asked. His expression answering my question. He knew what was being said. I pulled my hand gently away from his and pressed closer to the door. "I want to listen." I said with finality in my tone. Ethan sighed, giving up. He knew better than to argue. "Cassandra has spent years preparing herself to become Luna," Eleanor continued. "The pack already accepted her. Then you bring back... her." I flinched. I couldn’t see her face, but I

Chapter: F*CKFuck Jaxson. Fuck the maids. Fuck everybody. Fuck my lie. In fact, fuck me.Today was supposed to be the end of my 'vacation' and the beginning of my Luna roles. I thought I'd finally be able to have a little bit of freedom, but nope. From the mansion, to the village where the wolves reside freely, to confrences in town where the wolves reside with humans. And oh- I have my own entourage. Once again. Fuck. My. LIfe.I hadn't seen Jaxson in four days. Since he fucked me by the window to spite his brother. I hate myself for giving in. For letting this stupid bond cloud my judgement. Never again.I walked down the marble steps slowly, my hand gliding over the railing. I had ditched the stupid dresses, opting for a simple blue knit sweater and dark jeans, my legs feeling very comfy in my vans.The main hall was bustling with pack members; fighters carrying training gear, high ranking betas coordinating schedules, and elders whispering in the corners.The moment my boots tuched the ground
