Moonlit Betrayal by My Sister's Mate

It was another goddess-forsaken full moon. I hated full-moon nights. Ever since the night like this when my life was torn apart. I stumbled through the front door, my clothes torn and matted with dirt. The foyer glowed with soft candlelight, illuminating elaborate flower arrangements and golden st

Knock. Knock. Knock.The soft knocks on my door made me jump as I finished drying off from my shower and wrapped the towel around me. I knew this was not my mother as she would have just came in. I said, “Come in."Margaret, the Omega housekeeper, entered my room. She was one of the few who was dece

"Please help me," I begged, sending my desperate plea out into the pack link. "Someone, anyone, help me." But there was no reply, no sudden rescue, no last-minute miracle. Just the sterile walls of the operating room, the unnerving hum of the overhead lights, and the feeling of impending doom settling deep within my bones. This was it. They were going to separate us. They were going to take my wolf from me. I thrashed against my invisible bonds, bile and fury rising in my throat, but it was useless. I could only lie there, frozen in place, and watch in horror as they approached, tools glinting, ready to rip my wolf from my soul. “Goodbye Kailani,” my wolf whispered. The agony was unimaginable as if I were being torn apart from the inside out. A silent scream rang through my mind, full of anguish and despair. My wolf. They were taking my wolf. The pain was nothing like I had ever felt better. It felt as if my entire body was on fire. I couldn't breathe, couldn't think, and was l

I crept through the forest, my bare feet silently padding over fallen leaves and twigs. I was far enough now that the guards wouldn’t follow me. I walked the familiar path towards the border, tears streamed down my face. The pack bond thrummed in my mind, a constant reminder of my ties to my packmates, to my father, and to Kim. It used to provide me with a sense of security and belonging, but now it only brought pain and loneliness.How could they do this to me? How could they reject their own daughter? None of this was my fault and after everything, they still hated me. If they didn’t want me, I didn’t want them either. As I approached the pack's border, I hesitated. The waning moon above illuminated the sky, casting an eerie glow on the land below. Tears streamed down my face as I gazed up. . If they didn't want me, then I didn't want them either."I, Kailani IronClaw, reject my pack bond," I whispered into the darkness, determined to sever all ties with the IronClaw pack once and

I didn't think I'd live to be 18, but the day is coming. The sun was slowly rising as I made my way to the training grounds, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. The memory of my arrival at the Blood Rose pack and how Luna Melanie and Alpha Brandon adopting me flooded my mind as the scent of pine and the dew on the grass brought it all back. I could still feel the sting of branches scratching against my skin as I staggered through the forest, each step heavier than the last. Panic and exhaustion, my legs were barely able to hold me as each step forward was a challenge. I didn't know how long I had been running away from the Iron Claw pack, but when I found myself collapsing in a clearing filled with voices and laughter, a tiny flame of hope flickered in me. Maybe I had finally found refuge even if it was only for one night. "Kailani, I want you on the punching bag," shouted a voice, snapping me back to the present. I shook my head, trying to shake the memories that clung t
