When Destiny Brings A Second Chance Mate

Sovia’s POV“Sterile Luna.”That was the name they branded me with.But today was going to change everything, because my mate—Janova—was coming home.“The Alpha King is here!” I spun at the sound of one of the voices cheering from the crowd.I could feel my heart racing amidst the sound of roaring timbers and murmurs from the gathering.My nails dug into my dress, squeezing hard like my life depended on it.It had been over a year since Janova went beyond the borders to battle the Chaldeans—vicious rogues who had been trying to invade our state.Thankfully, my mate came back victorious.The doors shifted open with a heavy THOOM, the sound vibrating through the floor.“Welcome back, Your Majesty!”Heads bowed in reverence as he stepped in.I smiled as he moved past the doors, his magnetic presence making me shudder.“Um… who’s that with the King?”Faint whispers followed, and that was when I finally noticed the lady beside him.She was so frail and delicate.

Just his lingering coldness."Everyone is gone. You don't have to pretend anymore."Hearing my voice, he pulled away, cupping my cheeks.Even though I tried to turn my face away, his unyielding grip kept m

Sovia’s POV"Next time, do what you are told." Nanny Nicola shunned me before she slammed the door.Even though my body felt heavier than usual, I had never felt more liberated.A second chance, to rewrite my ending. To become the villain they should have feared.But first I needed strength, connections, and power.I was born with a rare wolf. They said if I shifted, I would go mad, so they plunged me with a thousand needles to spellbind my wolf, to stop me from falling into madness.My mother feared that I may be the one, prophesied about—a demon wolf born to plunge the world into chaos. However, all the signs point to Prince Zadekiah, even if no one said anything. All the more reason why he couldn't become king of the babel state.It seems the greatest fear of my family is for me to slip from their grasp.How do I fully unleash my wolf?I needed an Alpha.Janova was out of the question.
