Chapter 1

The moment Alpha Scott Hansen slipped that silver ring onto Julie Boyd’s delicate finger, the pack erupted into thunderous applause.My heart thudded in my chest, like it wanted to claw its way out and run. Alpha Scott lifted her veil. Slowly. Reverently.Julie. His first love. The fate mate he used to dream about, cry over, and, I suspect, occasionally howl for when he thought I was asleep. She looked… well, she looked like someone who belonged in a painting. Big doe eyes, porcelain skin, a smile so sweet .Meanwhile, I was wearing a hoodie, covered in rogue patrol dust, with mud still clinging to my boots. My wolf, snorted in the back of my mind.“At least you didn’t wear the funeral black. That would've been too poetic.”“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” the pack chanted, some in wolf form, tails wagging, tongues lolling. Wolves love a good show.Julie tilted her chin up, lips puckered. Picture perfect.But Scott hesitated. Just a flicker, a pause. And instead of her lips, he kissed her cheek.T

Chapter 2

The Coming-of-Age Ceremony at eighteen is supposed to be the most magical day of a werewolf’s life.You get your first shift, and if the Moon Goddess doesn’t have you on her blacklist, you meet your fated mate.But I did not meet my fated mate.What I did meet was pain—raw, bone-snapping, muscle-twisting, shift-into-a-giant-ball-of-fur kind of pain that made me see stars. Nyra, my wolf, howled through the entire process . We both barely survived it.But even that agony wasn’t the worst part of the night.No. That honor goes to the moment I saw Alpha Scott—the wolf I’d secretly loved since puberty hit me like a silver truck—lock eyes with Julie. And then… boom. The mate bond snapped into place like a cruel cosmic joke.Everyone around us cheered like it was a fairy tale.Me? I stood under a sycamore tree, trying not to heartbreak.I had begged the Moon Goddess every full moon for years—burned herbs, left offerings, even fasted once . I prayed she’d make Alpha Scott mine. But I guess sh

Chapter 3

I went to the hospital that morning, got my tests done, and scheduled the surgery. I had just stepped outside when I bumped into her.Julie.She greeted me with a sugary smile, like she’d just spotted an old friend at a garden party.“Hi, I’m Julie,” she said warmly, as if we hadn’t both been tangled up in the same Alpha's mess.Of course I knew who she was.She used to be a model—tall, radiant, and so impossibly perfect it made you wonder if the Moon Goddess had handcrafted her in her free time.Standing next to her, I suddenly became very aware of my oversized hoodie and the faint scent of antiseptic from the hospital room. She, on the other hand, looked like she'd just stepped out of a glossy magazine—glowing skin, effortless curls, not a single wolf hair out of place.Back when Alpha Scott lost everything—his rank, his fortune, his confidence—she had left him without looking back, jetting off abroad to "pursue her dreams."But you know how it goes.What we can’t have always shines

Chapter 4

Here’s something funny—I used to love oranges.Sweet, tangy, bright little things that smelled like sunshine and made my wolf tail wag just a bit.But Alpha Scott?He hated them like a vampire hates garlic.Back when we first started dating—back when I still had stars in my eyes and no clue how Alpha politics worked—he took me to one of those big werewolf gatherings. You know the kind. Long tables, too much meat, and someone always ends up breaking a wine glass when they get too excited during a story about the last rogue hunt. Classic.He introduced me as his mate.His mate, people. My poor heart practically rolled over and showed its belly.I thought it meant something.To him. To his wolf.To the Moon Goddess.Clearly, I was an idiot.When dessert came out, I tried to be sweet. I offered him a slice of orange cake—just a friendly, supportive fiancée gesture.He froze.The entire table went silent. Even the pack omega stopped mid-bite, her ears twitching. Someone’s fork clattered to

Chapter 5

Alpha Scott found out I was pregnant.Blair looked at me, full of guilt. “Eva, I’m so sorry. I swear I’ll give Leroy hell when I get back!”Meanwhile, Leroy’s voice came through the phone, all serious and infuriatingly calm: “Eva, you two have been together for years. Give Alpha Scott a chance. Give the baby a chance.”Blair snatched the phone from my hands and yelled, “Alpha Scott hasn’t done one decent thing! If Eva didn’t have such a good temper, I’d break his damn arms and send him flying off with Julie. Let them be a cute little disabled couple!”I almost laughed.Blair was my best friend. Leroy? Scott’s childhood sweetheart. We used to tease them, even played matchmaker. They got married two years ago. Just signed the papers last week—only the ceremony left.And me? After seven years with Alpha Scott, I didn’t even get a clean ending.But he still came.He rushed in, panting, drenched in sweat. His shirt clung to his back, his eyes frantic. And when he saw me stan

Chapter 6

I tore myself out of his arms and slapped him—hard.He just stood there, stunned, one hand on his cheek, completely at a loss.Blair stared at me. “Eva, why did you—?”I covered my mouth and ran straight to the bathroom.I vomited so violently it felt like I was throwing up my heart, liver, and lungs.Blair followed quickly, handed me a bottle of water, and kept patting my back to help me breathe.“Why are you throwing up like this? You’re really suffering, girl.”Alpha Scott stood at the door, a flicker of distress on his face.Red fingerprints burned bright on his pale cheek.I shot him a look full of hatred. “Do you know how disgusting you make me feel? That bottle of perfume—you picked it on purpose, didn’t you? The same scent Julie used to wear.”He knew exactly what I meant.His face turned ghostly pale in an instant.What the hell had he been thinking when he did that?Didn’t it disgust him, too?“Eva,” he said, voice low, “back then, I didn’t get it. I thought it was the scent

Chapter 7

The operation was over quickly. Too quickly.When I woke up, the lights were too bright, the sheets smelled too clean, and the room was too quiet—until I saw Leroy sitting beside me, his jacket wrinkled like he’d been pacing for hours.“Leroy…” My throat was dry as sand. “There are two rings in my bag. Can you return them to Scott?”His brows furrowed, but he didn’t question it. Just nodded once and left the room like a silent shadow.Those rings? They meant nothing. He’d picked them out completely distracted, probably imagining Julie instead of mine.Blair slipped into the room with a scowl already on her face. “Eva, listen to me. Alpha Scott isn’t worth it.”I knew that she had deliberately revealed the news of my pregnancy to Leroy. I gave her a tired smile. She didn’t know it yet, but I’d already made peace with it. Sort of.She still believed this whole mess was because of Julie. Like, if Julie vanished tomorrow, Scott and I would suddenly have fallen in love again.But she didn’

Chapter 8

The days that followed were quiet—eerily so. I stayed in the rental den Leroy found for me. Cozy. Smelled like fresh pine and overpriced candles. Healing, they called it. More like hiding.Blair visited often, usually barging in with snacks and complaints.“Scott’s been pestering Leroy every day, asking for your location. Like a mutt chasing a scent trail,” she huffed, plopping onto the couch and tossing me a protein bar. “ I'm really annoyed!”I spooned another bite of orange pudding into my mouth and smiled. “Let him sniff around. He lost our mate bond the moment he chose her.”Blair narrowed her eyes. “You’re way too calm about this.”“Side effect of betrayal and mild blood loss,” I said sweetly.But of course, peace never lasts long in a wolf’s world.One afternoon, my phone buzzed—and guess whose name lit up the screen like a bad omen?Julie.She wanted to meet.And I? I said yes.Maybe I was curious. Maybe I was bored. Maybe I wanted to see if she really sparkled in the sunlight

Chapter 9

After weeks of licking my wounds,I finally accepted an invitation to transfer packs. A fresh start. A clean slate. So, I packed my bags, signed the transfer scroll, and moved to the Eclipse Pack.Mississippi’s not huge, but it’s big enough that if two wolves go their separate ways, the Moon has to really want them reunited.Funny how things work out. Back when I first mated with Alpha Scott, I left Eclipse behind like it was nothing. Abandoned a secure spot in the packhouse just so I could help him build his little empire.Then, once he was basking in status and power, I slunk back into my own field, hoping to salvage what was left of my career.Looking back now, all I can think is: damn. That was dumb.Still, setting heartbreak aside, the professional experience had been decent. I’d led a few inter-pack negotiations, helped draft treaties between rogue enclaves and mid-tier packs, even did some fundraising for the Moonstone Orphanage.But none of it went the way I planned. My career

Chapter 10

After arriving at the hotel, I realized that Julie was also there. She was sitting in a wheelchair, with no makeup on and her lips looking a bit pale. She still had that pitiful look. She called softly, "Alpha Scott." Alpha Scott frowned slightly without being obvious, but still rushed towards her. Blair looked at Leroy beside her. Leroy quickly distanced himself. "I didn't invite her here." He glanced at me. "Maybe she's afraid that Alpha Scott will be taken away. After all, a thief is most afraid of meeting someone of the same kind." I raised my eyebrows. "I'm not of the same kind." Leroy shrugged. "People with a dirty mind think everyone else is dirty." Blair sneered. "Fine. Since she has no shame, I won't hold back either." Soon, the auspicious time arrived. The background music of "Love Story" started playing. Blair, wearing a white wedding dress, walked slowly towards Leroy. Standing below the stage, I couldn't help but feel tears welling up in my eyes. I didn't
