LOGINWhen I was little, I was poisoned by wolfsbane. My sister Fiona saved me. After that, she always said, "I saved your life. You should be grateful. Never forget what I've done for you." So whenever I had good food or pretty clothes, I gave them to her if she wanted them. When I turned eighteen, the pack chose a fiancé for me. Fiona told me, "Don't trust any man so easily. Let me check them out for you first. If they're not right, you shouldn't marry them." So she went on dates with those men on my behalf, from refined gentlemen to charming, outgoing guys. Every time she came back, she looked disappointed. "Zoey, this guy seems really shady. He's not right for you." "Zoey, this guy is all sweet talk. I'm worried he'll trick you." Then I met Darren, the best warrior in the Starlight Pack, and fell for him at first sight. We became a couple, but my sister never stopped worrying. She insisted on joining us on every single date. Darren happily went along with it. "Your sister really cares about you." I believed them. On the day we'd scheduled to try on wedding dresses, my sister walked out of the fitting room before me, wearing my gown. She posted a selfie: "Trying it on for my little sister. Today I get to be the beautiful bride too." Darren commented underneath: "You really are beautiful." I hit like and decided to walk away from their little game of "looking out for me." She could have him.

He kept appearing outside my pack for days."Zoey, I truly regret everything. Even if you have a mate now, that bond can be broken. We could...""Stop it. I don't love you anymore.""My love for you died a little more each time you chose to believe Fiona over me."He stood there, stunned, finally understanding that the Zoey who had always seemed to need others was perfectly capable of making her own decisions.He was seeing the real me for the first time. But it was too late.Darren left. Alone, without Fiona.And on the same day he left, my father banished Fiona from the pack."Our pack has no place for a schemer."Later, I heard from an old friend that after her banishment, Fiona had gone to find Darren.She begged him to let her stay by
Darren lingered, believing time would buy my forgiveness. I had no intention of giving him any.The wedding was grand.Dressed in a crystal-covered gown, I stood arm in arm with my mate as we completed the lavish ceremony beneath the Moon Goddess's gaze.Darren tried to push through the crowd several times, but my father's guards kept him outside."Zoey! Do you really not love me anymore? Have you forgotten everything we had? Please don't marry him!"I didn't spare him a single glance.But then Fiona appeared, her hair a mess, her usual polished makeup gone."Zoey!"I refused to deal with her, but she lunged forward, grabbing my wrist."Zoey, look how much Darren is suffering! How can you just throw him away?"I shook her hand off. "What? I don't even have the right to walk away from him?"She froze. "Do I have no say when you're around, Fiona?" I asked quietly. "Do I need your permission to leave a man?"The color drained from Fiona's face."That's not what I meant.""Then what did yo
On the day I returned to the pack, my father held a grand welcoming ceremony."Zoey, don't leave again. I want you to stay and take your place as Alpha."I agreed."If you don't like the men I introduce you to, you can find someone on your own. I won't interfere.""Father, I never disliked any of them."My father froze. "But Fiona said..."Before he could finish, he understood."I thought you were the one rejecting every man I chose. Since you're willing, I'll find the best mate for you as soon as possible."I said yes.Being back with my father, back in the pack where I'd grown up, I finally felt like myself again.No one here would limit my freedom or control who I saw.No one would grab my food or water before I could, claiming it was for my health when really they just didn't want me to have it.My father moved quickly. He chose the finest man in the Celestial Pack, his own Beta.One look, and I knew. This was the fated mate I had been searching for.The night before my wedding, Da
Fiona couldn't stop him.Soon the floor was covered in shattered glass, and the photos were ripped to shreds."Darren, calm down. Those photos turned out so well. The studio even kept some for display...""But you're not my fiancée!"Her mention of the display jolted his memory. He grabbed Fiona and dragged her straight to the studio, demanding that the display photos be taken down."Tell them! Tell them we're not a couple!"Fiona's eyes were red. Darren had always valued her. He had never treated her this roughly before."Say it!"She flinched and stammered out the truth to the staff.Terrified by Darren's fury, the staff removed the photos immediately.But then Fiona smiled."Regretting it now? You enjoyed every second of that pre-wedding photo shoot with me, didn't you? You even kissed my foot.""Shut up!"Darren bared his claws at Fiona, but she wasn't afraid. Her smile only grew wider."When everyone mistook me for your fiancée, you never corrected them. You played along. You even
