Alpha Alex.“Hi, baby,” Amelia says as she walks into my office without knocking.“You should knock before coming inside my office,” I scoff. “What if I am having an important meeting with the elders?”“Aww, baby,” she purrs, blushing and forcing herself on me. “I don’t think anyone will be more important than I am. You know I’m your queen, Luna.”“What?” I roar, slamming my fist on the desk. “Is that what you are thinking—that you’re more important than my members and elders? Amelia, look here; giving you my Luna position does not mean you deserve it.”“Alpha,” she cries.“Being my Luna does not mean you have the right I have over my pack members. You’re just the mate that I single-handedly chose for myself. You are a nobody. You’re not my true mate; imprint this on your dumb skull. I don’t want to keep repeating myself. Am I clear? Do you understand me?"Who does she think she is? She’s just a bitch. She’s not my Luna, and she’s already acting like one. We both know we’re not destine

Jane’s stance.I’m in the training room, pushing myself harder than ever before. Today marks the day my rejected ex-mate will introduce and mark his new mate. Today could be my last day on earth if he succeeds in marking her. But I refuse to go down without a fight.I won’t let him take my life after all I’ve been through. I pound the training bag relentlessly, channeling all my anger and frustration into each blow. That bastard doesn’t know what’s coming for him. I’m determined to make him pay for the way he’s treated me and my mother. Lost in my thoughts and the rhythm of my punches, I don’t notice Vishal’s presence until he speaks.“Easy there, girl. You don’t want to hurt yourself,” he whispers. “Don’t take your anger out on that innocent bag.”“What are you doing here, Vishal? Shouldn’t you be at my rejected mate’s pack? Is it all over already?” I ask, my curiosity piqued.Vishal raised an eyebrow before bursting into laughter. “Jane, you won’t believe what happened today in his p

Richard’s PerspectiveThey keep trying to anger me to death. They keep pushing me to accept that scumbag of a mate. They are doing everything in their power to match me up with her. Why won’t they let me be? My wolf is a pain in my ass. Raymond is hell-bent on forcing me to accept her.What’s her usefulness? She’s dumb as a fool. She’s worthless. There is no wolf in her. She’s weaker than a mere human. She doesn’t deserve me. I’m too good for her. She’s getting on my nerves. Why won’t she disappear forever? I’m sure she dresses so seductively in the club to lure me. She stalks me and knows I come there to relax and enjoy myself.Parker makes me lose my cool. He kills her because of that worthless trash. He even threatened me because of that thing he called a mate. My friend Raymond went against me and tried to imitate her to look good in front of me. I have been saving myself for my mate. I want her to be my first. Who knows, I might be mated to her? If the goddess blesses me with some

TrainingJane’s StanceI keep punching hard without realizing that I’m hurting myself. Amira screams at me.“Jane, what do you think you’re doing? You’re hurting yourself, for goddess’s sake.”“I don’t know. I’m just focusing on my training, Amira. I’m sorry I scared you.”“Jane, I understand you’re trying to train harder for your revenge. But it’s best if you don’t get hurt in the process. I’m sorry for everything you’re going through. I can’t help but feel pain seeing you like this.”“I’m so sorry, Jane,” Ella whispers. “Please take things easy.”I stare at them for a long time without uttering a word. I look down at my hand. It’s bloody. All I want is to train harder to kill my mate.“I’m sorry for making you worry. I’m only trying to train. I didn’t know I would get hurt in the process,” I apologize.Amira helps me clean my wound. I’m forced to take a break. They are worried. We leave the training ground and head to the main building, where I come across Vishal.“Hi, Jane,” Vishal

Jane’s Point of View“Oh my goddess, it’s you, Amira,” I exclaim. “You scared the shit out of me. What are you doing here?”“I’m here to surprise you, darling,” she murmurs. “I’ve been waiting for you. Where have you been? I missed you.”“I’ve been training with Vishal,” I reply.“Oh yes, you’ve been training so hard. I think we should have girls’ time. What do you think?” she inquires.“Amira, you know, I’ve got no time to have fun. I’ve got a lot to do. I should never slack in my training. You know the one I’m facing in the fight?” I respond. “I’m sorry.”“It’s okay; take your time,” she whispers. “Let’s go in.”I feel guilty for turning her down. It’s not her fault, and her suggestion isn’t bad, but I’ve got no time to be happy or have any fun. I’m only living for my revenge. Amira and I walk in, and she starts to discuss the guy she met.“Is he your mate?” I ask Amira, who is blushing. I can see she’s in love already.“I don’t think he is. I feel no mating bond or the pull between
