I was unpleasantly surprised when I came downstairs. Sienna was standing in my kitchen looking at me like she wanted to kill me.She is my brother’s and Alpha’s best friend. She is 25, just like my brother and Alpha, and she has been hanging out with them since childhood. Now, she is clinging on to them like they are a lifeboat. She was devastated when she found out that neither my brother nor Alpha were her mates. That didn’t stop her from trying to become Luna. She is always around Alpha, proving herself and trying to convince him to take her as his chosen mate.Werewolves can do that. If their mate dies or they don’t find their true mate, they can take a chosen one. It is frowned upon, especially in our pack, because we take mates very seriously. Most packs do, actually. But some have a milder attitude toward chosen mates.Sienna was tall, blonde, and perfect. Her make up was always on point. Her hair was always combed and styled to perfection. But she destroyed all that with the w

‘Good morning, Emma.’I turned towards the door to greet my brother, but nobody was standing there. I am alone. But whose voice was that?‘It is me, silly. Your wolf.’I flinched. Of course, it is my birthday. I got my wolf today. It is weird, though, to hear a voice inside my head.‘You will get used to it.’ A voice said.‘It will take some time.’ I responded.‘We have all the time in the world.’ My wolf said.‘What is your name?’ I asked her.‘Eliza.’ ‘I like it.’ I told her. ‘I know you do, Emma. Now, get up and go spend the day with your brother. Asher has already sensed my presence, and he can’t wait to meet me.’ She said.I got up excited and full of energy. I can’t wait to see Eliza.I brushed my teeth, showered, and put on sweats and a hoodie. Perfect for a lazy birthday day with my brother.When I came downstairs, Andrew had already made pancakes. It was our traditional birthday breakfast. “Happy birthday, Emma!” he yelled and gave me a big hug. “Asher sensed Eliza. He is

I looked at my watch and saw that it was 11 pm. Who was here this late?I removed the covers and went toward my bedroom door. I opened them in time to hear my brother’s voice.“Logan?” he said. “What are you doing here?”“Where is she? Where is Emma?” Logan asked nervously.His voice was the most amazing sound I have ever heard. It was like music to my ears. What was wrong with me? It never sounded like that before. It must have been because I was tired.But he sounded cold, rushed. I didn’t know why he was asking for me, but I had a feeling that I was in trouble. But I didn’t do anything wrong. “Emma?” my brother asked. “She is sleeping. Why?”I could hear surprise and confusion in his voice.I started walking toward the stairs and was instantly hit with the most amazing smell, pine needles and snow. It smelled like a winter forest.‘Mate!’ Eliza screamed in my head.‘What?!’ I asked and froze. ‘It is Logan, Emma. He is our mate. Go to him.’ Eliza said, excited.Logan? The Alpha? H

Emma POVI never thought I could feel this much pain and survive. My whole body is trembling, and my soul is in pieces. There is a huge hole in my heart, and I don’t think I will ever be able to fix it.My mate doesn’t want me. I am not good enough.My brother thinks I am weak.My mate rejected me. He will have a new Luna, and I will have to look at them every day. I don’t know how I came home. I don’t remember the path. Pain clouded my vision.I left Logan and Andrew in the forest, and I just started running away. I couldn’t go back to the cave. I didn’t want them to find it. It would mean that I wouldn’t be safe there anymore.We always used masking spray before coming into the cave. But Andrew and Logan came close to finding it. I guess it was because of the mate bond. Logan could smell me better.I started walking to my room. I shut the door and locked it. I didn’t want to see my brother. I didn’t want to talk to him. I wanted to be alone. I laid on my bed and stared at the ce

Emma POVI felt Logan’s eyes on me the entire night. I didn’t look up at him once. Every time Jacob touched me, there was a low, menacing growl coming from his direction. What the hell was his problem? He was the one who rejected me. He was the one who was sitting there with his new mate and future Luna.Before they came to the diner, I told Amy and Jacob about me and Logan.They were shocked to hear that he had rejected me and that he had chosen Sienna as his mate. They knew all about her and they were the only ones who believed me. She was a bitch to them as well, so it wasn’t hard for them to believe that I was telling the truth about her. “I want to kill her for doing that to your hand, beautiful.” Jacob said quietly. “It’s okay, Jake.” I said. “I will heal.”“No, it is not okay, Emmy.” Amy whined. “She hurt you. Until now she only used her words, but I am afraid of how far she is willing to go now.”“Amy is right.” Jake nodded. “She hates the fact that you are Logan’s mate. I
