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: THE BREAKUPThe room felt like I tomb. There was no way I could go out without being unnoticed. I knnew he was watching. I knew if I tried to use the phone, he would hear me. I stood at the window, staring out at the dark dense tree line. Somewhere out there, Liamm was risking everything to save me.I have to get to him, I thought. I have to tell him to run.I didn't have a plan, just a fantic, desperate instict. The window. It was my only exit. I didn't think, I just let the girl I had been holding back for five years take over.My bones cracked and reformed, a painful, familiar heat surging through my veins as I tumbled onto the grass below. Jaxson was probably going to catch me, but it was a risk I was willing to take.I picked up Liam's scent after running for more than five minutes. I was a little rusty, but I was a able to find him. Shiting back was agonizing, my skin knitting together as I gasped for air, collapsing onto cold dirt. I was shivering, completely naked and exposed. Forgot abou

Chapter: GETTING MARRIEDI opened the door and walked out.Jaxson was leaning against the opposite wall, his arms crossed over his massive chest, his foot tapping impatiently. When he looked up, the smug expression he'd been wearing didn't just fade, it vanished into a void of pure shock.His eyes raked over the shredded lace of the dress, but then they climbed higher, staring at the raw edges of hair I had cut. I watched the color drain from his face, just the way I had pictured it. "What," he started, his voice a low, vibrating growl. "did you do?""I fixed it," I said, my voice steady, even as my heart was racing. "I adored Luna Melissa, Jaxson. But don't you ever mistake your mother for me. If you want a Luna, you'll get your Luna."He moved so fast, I didn't even see him.I only felt the rush of cold air beforre he slammed his hand into the wall beside my head, leaving us only inches apart."You think this is funny?"He grabbed a handful of my uneven hair, pulling my head to the back until I was forced t

Chapter: THE LUNA HE BOUGHTI stood in the center of the Alpha suite, staring at that white lace dress on the bed like it was a pile of ash. It looked like a gothic dress from the 80s.My skin still felt cold from where his fingers had clamped around my wrist earlier. I paced the room, my heels clicking sharply against the hardwood.I stormed out of the room, trying to start another war.Instead, I saw my parents."Ava?" my mom called out, relief flooding her voice."I know, he threatened to exile you. I can't believe he'd do that to two of the oldest pack members.""Ava, listen to me," my mother pleaded, stepping forward " We had to sign the contract. We saw the way he looked at you at the coronation. We felt the power of the bond. You can't run from fate.""Wait, wait. You did what?" I turned to my father. "Jaxson threatened to exile you! That's the only reason I'm still in thid miderable town."My father shook his head slowly, his eyes full of a pity that made me want to scream. "He didn't have to threaten

Chapter: NO WAY OUT"Go to hell, Jaxson."I didn't even have time to blink before the world tilted. Jaxson lunged forward, his shoulder slamming into my stomach as he lifted me into the air."Jaxson! Put me down! You arrogant, overbearingg son of a—"I hammered my fists against his back and swung my legs uselessly in the air. The guards didn't dare look at us, their heads bowed as their Alpha passed by with his trashing, screaming mate.He tossed me into the back seat of the lead SUV, the locks clicking nefore I could even try to escape.The drive was a suffocating silence. My phone buzzed in my pocket; once, twice, five times. I didn't need to look a the screen to know who it was.Liam. The man waiting for me in the city. He was probably worried about me. I barely answered his calls throughout the trip.The moment we got to the pack house, my stomach dropped. The place still looked annoyingly the same. We used to train as kids, I'd peep Jaxson by the bushes during his special training. I growned at my

Chapter: STUCK IN THIS NIGHTMAREJAXON'S POV"The search is over!" I said to the crowd. "Ava Thorne is your Luna!"I suddenly began to hear whispers explode all over the room."Ava? The one who ran away?""The weakling? She’s the Luna?""Look at her... she doesn't even have a pack mark." Ava didn't scream. She didn't cry. She just looked at me with a hatred so pure it was beautiful. Then, before I could react, she lunged forward, grabbed my tie, and hauled me toward the side office."Move," she hissed.I followed her, my wolf purring at her aggression. The second the door slammed shut, she exploded."Are you mad?!" she screamed, her voice cracking the heavy silence of the room. "Are you absolutely, out of your mind, insane, Jaxson?"I didn't answer. I couldn't. Up close, without the pack watching, she was devastating. Her chest heaved with every breath, the silk of that dress straining against her breasts, dipping so low I could see the rapid pulse in her throat."I had a life!" she yelled. The slit in her dr

Chapter: THE CLAIMI hoped it wasn't what I was thinking. I prayed to a moon goddess I hadn't spoken to in years that the sudden, violent pulling my chest was just a small heart attack.But as Jaxson's eyes locked onto mine from the podium, the air became still. The bond didn't just snap, it roared.Please don't feel it. Please let it be a mistake.But the way his knuckles turned white as he gripped the edge of the stone podium told said otherwise. His nostrils flared, taking in my scent; the scent he had once mocked, now intensified by the woman I had become. He felt it. He definitely felt it.For ten agonizing seconds , the future Alpha of the Silver Ridge looked like he'd seen a ghost. The whole pack started to murmur, sensing the sudden spike in his scent."Jaxson?" his whispered, nudging him.Jaxson blinked, his nostrils flaring as he drank in my scent from across the room. Just one more hour I told myself, my fingers digging into my palms. The ceremony is over. The party starts. Then I fade out
