MasukI save the Alpha. He crowns my sister. "Miles... I'm your mate," I blurt, hoping that will break through his confusion and make him see me for who I truly am. He only stares quietly at me, but I can see the conflict and confusion in his expression. "I'm sorry, Rhea. You're beautiful, and your scent..." his words trail as he buries his nose on my neck and inhales deeply. "It's the sweetest I've ever known. But I love your sister, and I made a promise I don't intend to break. We will have to reject the mate bond." "Why won't you believe me?" I plead, my voice raw. "I'm the girl you met that night. I am your mate!" Miles' gaze hardens as he points toward the exit. "You need to leave, Rhea. Or I'll have security escort you out." "You liar!" I scream as I yank Roxy's hair. "You've stolen everything from me!" I feel Miles' hands gripping my shoulders as he yanks me off her, shoving me backward. I land hard on my butt. "Listen to me, Rhea," he hisses, his voice filled with venom, his eyes cold. "I don't want to see you near me or Roxy again. If you do, I'll have you banished." He takes a step closer, towering above me. "I, Alpha Miles Mondragon, reject you, Rhea Chapman, as my mate. Accept it or reject it; I don't fucking care." Have you ever watched your Knight in shining armor stolen from your very own fantasy? It could be the most heartbreaking thing. What do you do when the man fated to love you calls you a liar? When the boy you save becomes the Alpha who destroys you? This is my story, and how my fate was stolen.

As applause erupts, I step away from the podium, breathing deeply.We are all standing in front of a clinic, my latest commission. The crowd cheers and claps as I walk away from the stage.This clinic is not a new one; rather, it is the reviving and expansion of an old one. It belonged to Lance Chapman's sister, Flora, and had been Rhea's biggest dream. I always heard her talk about reviving and taking over this place.We did more than revive her dream. What was once a small clinic is now a fully equipped medical facility with specialized care for expectant mothers, newborns, and children. The Renewal Foundation will also provide sanctuary for orphaned children, giving them not just care but a home and a family. No child will have to endure an abusive home any more.I am surprised by the number of people who
YURI'S POVI find Rhea standing alone on the balcony, her back to me as she stares into the darkness. The cool night breeze rustles her hair. The party inside is full of light and heat and chatter, but out here it is just her and the dark. She leans on the railing, head bowed, and even from this far I can tell she is crying.I hesitate. I could go back, pretend I never saw her. Let her have her moment in private, keep my distance like I always do when she is hurting. But I am tired of being the shadow in her story. I am tired of loving her from a distance. So I open the door and step out, closing it quietly behind me.The air is cold and my breath fogs in front of me. Rhea does not turn as I approach, but her spine straightens, and she hurriedly wipes her face with the back of her hand. I stop a few feet away, not saying anything. She composes herself before she faces me, smoothing her skirt as if she is about to meet a royal. When she turns, she gives me a cheerful smile that is tech
MILES' POV My hand slams down on the steering wheel as I hit the horn, speeding past a smaller vehicle. Water splashes from the puddles on the road, spraying across its sides as I drive past. The rain falls in thick sheets, hammering the roof of the car, blurring everything outside into gray streaks. The skies have opened up to unleash a storm that matches the one inside me. I do not have a destination in mind. I just drive. I do not get to finish with Morena and Lolita before I leave the dungeon. Spending one more time in that place would have made Titan take over and rip them into pieces. Titan howls in my head at the betrayal of it all. He does not use words. It is a pure, keening sound of agony, the sound of a wolf who has hurt its mate. He had mourned the absence of our mate for weeks, had mourned our broken bond, but nothing had broken him more than knowing that his instinct had always been right. He had never liked Roxy, not once. Titan had played a crucial role in ensuring
MILES' POV"Rhea!"I barely wait for the SUV to stop before I throw the door open and leap out. I am standing in front of the imposing and ancient-looking Moon Crescent Packhouse, feeling that Rhea might be inside there somehow.My heart is hammering in my chest as I shout her name with all the desperation that has been building inside me for weeks."RHEA!" I roar as my wolf urges me forward. "RHEA!"He wants her as badly as I do. No---more. He never fell for Roxy's deception and never stopped recognizing Rhea as our true mate. I was the fool who let manipulation cloud my judgment, who let hatred blind me to what was right in front of me all along. My head still floats from all that amount of hatred and conniving messages I read on Roxy's phone. All the things she and her mother had orchestrated in this pack.I am still confused about it all, still trying to get clarity. But now, I need to see Rhea. I need to talk to her.As I stride toward the entrance, four Gamma warriors materializ
