At the bachelorette party before my mating ceremony, I came across a challenge going viral among werewolves. "If your fated mate wasn't your only option, who would you choose as your mate?" Laughing, I put the question to Kane Ashford. He was the Alpha of the Blackstone Pack and my fated mate. Kane didn't even hesitate. "Thea." My smile froze. Thea Morgan was my best friend. Even my brother nodded along. "He's got a point. Thea's sweet and smart. She'd make a better Luna for Kane than you. "Every time you two fight, Thea's the one who stays up all night comforting him." Thea laughed and snuggled up to Kane. "Chloe, you'd better keep an eye on your mate. What if one day he actually picks me?" Everyone teased me, telling me to take a good look at myself and learn a thing or two from Thea. I kept my head down and didn't say anything. Kane glanced at me. "It was a joke. Why are you getting upset again?" I didn't answer. I just looked at the confirmation email the ceremony coordinator had sent. The gown, the flowers, the music for the ceremony. Thea had picked all of it. Nobody cared what I thought. Nobody had even asked. The only part of the entire ceremony that had anything to do with me was my name listed as the Luna. If the whole mating ceremony had been planned around what Thea liked, she might as well be the star of it.

When Everyone Gave Up on Me, I Chose Myself 9
During my second year at the Imperial Academy, I received several honors.First came the Outstanding Instructor award, followed by Best Coach at the National Young Wolves Championship.After that, the team I trained took first place in the annual evaluations.When my mentor handed me the medal, she smiled and patted my shoulder."Chloe, I never doubted what you could do. I'm glad you're finally making time for yourself."I looked down at the medal in my hand and suddenly thought about who I used to be.For Kane, I'd turned down my mentor's offer.To keep up the appearance of harmony in my family, I'd swallowed my hurt again and again.So no one would worry, I'd gotten into the habit of always saying I was fine.Now I finally understood. Being dependable doesn't mean you're never allowed to be tired. Being strong doesn't mean you don't need to be loved.I started letting my colleagues help me, and I learned to just say no when I didn't want to do something.Life got busy, but I'd never

I took the folder and skimmed it.There were several transfers whose purpose had never been explained to me.Kane didn't make any decisions for me. He didn't ask me to forgive anyone.He just put the evidence in my hands.Thea finally started to cry."Kane, do you really hate me this much?"Kane gave her a weary look."Before, when you messed up, I fixed it for you. Whatever you needed, I fought to get it for you. When you hurt Chloe, I asked her to be understanding."I thought I was just looking out for a friend."His voice dropped."Now I know I was just letting you get away with it."My mother let go of Thea's arm, looking at her as if she'd never seen her before."Thea... Why would you do this..."There were still tears on Thea's face.She looked at my mother, then at me, and suddenly she laughed."Why?"Because I'm jealous of her!"Her voice shot up, and she finally dropped the innocent act."Ever since we were kids, everybody's loved Chloe. Her grades were better than mine. She w

Seasons came and went. The snow melted, only to fall again.Time flew at the Imperial Academy. Six months later, the National Young Wolves Championship began.The team I coached took first place overall.I walked onstage and accepted the crystal trophy from the Alpha King as applause filled the room.The young wolves I'd trained cheered from the audience, their eyes shining with excitement.Then I saw them. My mother, my father, and Thea were there with the Blackstone Pack's delegation.After the awards ceremony, my mother came over carrying a basket of homemade baked goods.She took my hand affectionately, like we'd never had a single fight."Chloe, we came all this way just to see you."My father nodded."You did well."Thea stood behind them, looking a lot more worn down than before."Chloe, I'm sorry. I came to apologize."She kept her head down, her voice quiet."I shouldn't have worn your gown without asking. I shouldn't have touched the bracelet your grandmother left you. And I

After that day, Kane rented an apartment near the Imperial Academy.He cleared his schedule for the next six months and temporarily handed his duties as Alpha over to the council of elders.Every morning when I left for the training grounds, I'd see him standing on the corner, silently looking in my direction.He never came close. He just watched me from a distance.From sunrise to sunset.Once, after training, my stomach hurt so badly I could barely stand by the time I reached the door.Kane rushed over to steady me."I've got medicine for your stomach in the car. Wait here. I'll get it."He helped me sit on a bench by the road, then hurried off to get it.Right then, my phone rang. It was my mother.She didn't ask how I was doing. She launched straight into accusations."How long are you going to keep this up? Kane hasn't been back to the pack in a week because he's off looking for you, and Thea quit her job because of you two. You've turned the whole pack upside down. Are you happy
