My heart clenched painfully in my chest as I thought of what I was about to say. It was the only way to save him, I chanted over again. "I'm rejec-ct..." I stuttered and then cleared my throat. "I'm rejecting you, Slade Hall as my mate. Whatever bond you feel between us is null and void from today. And I am getting married to prince Damien Cord of MoonStone pack." Slade roared, and his eyes flashed goldenly. He shoved me away and fell to the floor, groaning in pain. I fell to my knees, sobbing. It wasn't because I did the right thing to save him; I had lost my mate forever and wouldn't be getting him again... . Winter was an Omega and switched at birth. After living a difficult life and almost getting used to it, she was revealed to be the Alpha's daughter due to her striking resemblance to the Luna of the Royal Moon Pack. Winter thought her life had changed for the better and decided to make do with what was before her; however, it was only the beginning of her predicament. When she believed she wouldn't get to live the life she wanted, her wolf came forth, and her mate was revealed. However, it was her brother whom the moon goddess had mated to her. What was worse was she wanted it. Many challenges lie ahead; how would Winter overcome each when most were from the people she assumed would watch out for her?

Freya spun around, startled, and saw the ghostly figure of her mother standing in front of her. Freya couldn't believe her eyes.
"Mom? Is it really you?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"Yes, my dear," said her mother, smiling. "I have been watching over you from the spirit world. I am proud of the strong, independent young woman that you have become."Freya was overcome with emotion. She had missed her mother so much, and it was a comfort to know that she was still looking out for her. '"I miss you so much, Mom," she said, tears streaming down her face.
"I know, my dear," said her mother. "But you are not alone. You have your packmates, and you have the strength and courage to overcome any obstacle that comes your way."Freya nodded, grateful for her mother's words of wisdom."I want to make you proud," she said.
"You already have, my dear," said her mother, her form starting to fade. "Remember that we will always be with you, no matter where life takes you."Freya watched as her mother disappeared into the mist, her heart heavy with emotion. But she felt a newfound strength within her, knowing that her parents' love and guidance would always be with her, no matter what.Fortunately, Freya's aunt, who was also a member of the pack, took her in and raised her as her own. Her aunt was a kind and gentle werewolf, who had always had a special bond with Freya's parents. She was devastated by their loss, but she knew that she had to be strong for Freya.Freya's aunt provided her with all the love and affection she needed. She made sure that Freya was well-fed, and that she had a safe place to sleep at night. She also continued her parents' teachings, and taught her niece everything she knew about the forest, hunting, and survival.Despite the tragedy that had befallen her, Freya grew up to be a strong and independent werewolf. She inherited her parents' strength and agility, and she became an excellent hunter and fighter. She also had a fierce independence that didn't sit well with the traditional hierarchy of the pack.As Freya grew up, she began to realize that she was different from the other members of her pack. She had a wild streak that didn't conform to the strict rules and expectations of the pack. She often went off on her own, exploring the forest and hunting for food. This independence sometimes caused tension between her and the other werewolves, who saw her as a threat to their traditional way of life.Despite these differences, Freya loved her pack and was grateful for the love and support that her aunt had given her. She often helped with the hunting and the gathering of food, and she was always ready to defend her pack against any threats. She was respected by her fellow werewolves for her strength and courage, but she always knew that she was different.As Freya approached adulthood, she started to feel restless. She longed for something more, something beyond the confines of her pack. She wanted to explore the world and find her own place in it. She knew that her pack would never understand this restlessness, and so she kept it to herself.Freya's aunt, Rachel, noticed the restlessness in her niece and decided to talk to her about it. "Freya, my child, I can see that you're not entirely happy here. Is everything okay?" Rachel asked one day as they were gathering herbs in the forest.Freya sighed and looked at her aunt with a mixture of sadness and uncertainty."I don't know, Aunt Rachel. I love our pack, and I love being a werewolf, but I can't help feeling like there's something more out there. I want to see the world and experience new things."
Rachel nodded knowingly."I understand how you feel, Freya. It's natural to want to explore and discover new things. But you must remember that this is your home, and these are your people. We love and support you, no matter what."
Freya looked at her aunt with gratitude in her eyes."I know, Aunt Rachel, and I love and appreciate you all so much. But I feel like I need to do this for myself. I need to find my own place in the world."
Rachel placed a hand on Freya's shoulder and gave her a reassuring squeeze."I understand, my child. And I will support you no matter what you decide to do. Just promise me one thing - that you'll always stay true to who you are, no matter where life takes you."
Freya smiled at her aunt, feeling a weight lifted off her shoulders."Thank you, Aunt Rachel. I promise I will never forget who I am or where I come from. I will always be a part of this pack, no matter where life takes me."
From that day on, Freya felt more at peace with her restlessness. She knew that she had her aunt's support and love, and that she could follow her dreams without losing her identity. She continued to help her pack, but she also started to explore the wilderness beyond their borders. She discovered new places and creatures that she never knew existed, and she grew more confident in her abilities as a werewolf. Her restlessness never fully disappeared, but she knew that she had a place in the world, no matter where she went.WINTER'S POVJoy erupted inside me as I glanced at Slade and Damien-who were now lifeless. For a brief moment, I had thought Slade would be the one in Damien's shoes. I had felt Damien would overpower Slade, considering his immense power, but I was glad it had turned out differently.Gloria screeched, "I'll never forgive you for taking my son from me!""You brought this upon yourself," I said. "You should surrender now that it seems you can't win!""No!" Gloria screamed, almost bursting my eardrums. "I'll never surrender. His death needs to be avenged!" Dark energy enveloped her, emanating an aura of animosity.Gloria's voice thundered through the forest, carrying a raw fury fueled by the essence of darkness. An ominous aura consumed her body; the air crackled with nervous energy.I watched in both awe and apprehension as Gloria underwent a grotesque transformation. Her eyes turned pitch black, and her once-elegant features contorted into a twisted visage of rage. Shadows danced aroun
Slade's POVI shifted uneasily, knowing I shouldn't be in this form. I couldn't help it, though. I didn't want to be the defenceless alpha who always relied on his Luna for help. Even though I had always fought my battles, I felt like most people saw me as weak, barely capable of doing anything.I locked eyes with Damien, and we exchanged growls. But deep down, I almost regretted it. My heart pounded, wildly beating against my rib cage. Being in wolf form made everything even more challenging for me.I turned my gaze towards Winter. Despite being held by Gloria, it seemed like she could free herself from the situation. She looked furious, and I knew most of that anger was directed at me, while the rest was aimed at her ex and his mother."You need to shift back," Winter snarled, her frustration evident. "She said you'll die!"Gloria only laughed in response. I wished I could wipe the grin off her face and make her pay for everything. Pay for killing Britney, especially, and taking my
WINTER POVI had always known that many things could go wrong in one night, but I never imagined it would be this same night. First, the forest became infested with reptiles, making the hunt scarier than I had anticipated. Despite thinking we could manage the situation, the hunters appeared, Slade, got bitten, and now Gloria and Damien had arrived.I never thought I would find myself in a situation like this, struggling in the death grip of the woman who was once my mother-in-law. The last time I saw her, after Slade's victory, she even tried to console my mother. I believed she had our best interests at heart. But learning that she had impersonated people to reach and kill me turned my stomach.I used to admire her and thought she was the perfect Luna, but the crazed look in her eyes just moments ago shattered that illusion. Gasping for breath, I felt her yank harder on my hair. I desperately tried to grip her hand and release her hold, but it only tightened."Fucking shift and kill
SLADE'S POV"What the hell?!" I yelled, glaring at the slime as he kissed Winter.Struggling to stand on my feet; the poison from the snake was making it increasingly difficult. I blinked back the haziness in my eyes, gritted my teeth, and summoned all the strength to confront him."Get your fucking hands and mouth off, my mate!" I bellowed.Winter gasped, her eyes shifting to mine as I hunched over. She approached me and reached out a hand to touch my back, but I shrugged her off."I'm fine," I said, narrowing my eyes. "Why the hell did you let him kiss you like that?!""I let him?" She asked, brows furrowing. As I nodded, she exclaimed, "You saw he forcefully kissed me! I never asked to be kissed, but he did it against my will. So, don't blame me for not reacting quickly—I was taken by surprise!"Of course, I wasn't blaming her, and I wasn't angry with her. I assumed she should have pushed him away at the first opportunity, but maybe I wasn't thinking straight.Winter hissed and att
WINTER'S POVDespite all that I said, Slade didn't budge. He stumbled away from me, running his hands through his hair. "I'm fine, Winter. Just watch where you're standing. We need to deal with this before we leave."I rolled my eyes and clenched my teeth, my gaze drifting up to the full moon. "The poison will spread faster when you shift, and you'll shift sooner than you think."Slade glanced at me and shook his head. "I'm not like the other werewolves, remember? I'm partly a lycan, so I can control my shifting to some extent until the hunt is over."I let out a frustrated breath. No matter what I said or would say, he remained stubborn. I supposed I needed to stay close to him to prevent impulsive actions. Just then, Jude burst into the clearing, growling, and lunged at the hunter's leader next to me before I could stop him.He landed several punches on the leader's face, only stopping to catch his breath."Jude!" I shouted, scanning the other hunters who seemed poised to attack him
WINTER POVI turned to Slade with wide eyes, and he mirrored my expression, staring back at me."What are you all, then?" I blurted out. "Are you not the ones after the pack's MoonStone? I mean, the group of Lycans who fought with the previous Alpha and led him to sacrifice himself?"He nodded grimly. "And we had our reasons for coming after the MoonStone gem." He added, "But we are not the same as those. We belong to a different faction, known as the Bwegbonyu speakers and night hunters. Lastly, we weren't the ones who originally attacked the previous alpha.""This isn't making any sense," Slade voiced my confusion, and I nodded to indicate my agreement."I think we need to explain further. But first, you must understand that we are not the Vordrak Lycans. They pose a threat to everyone in the werewolf world, as well as humans. They are incredibly powerful, second only to gods and goddesses," he explained."Vordrak Lycans?" I murmured, wracking my brain to recall where I might have h
