Chapter 1

I couldn't stop smiling.I had tried.I'd stood in front of the mirror that morning and told myself to calm down, but every time I thought about what today meant, my lips curved into another stupid smile.Today was the day.After years of loving Zion, today I would finally stand beside him as his Luna.My Luna.The thought made my heart flutter.I had spent the entire afternoon getting ready. I had changed my dress twice, redone my hair three times, and even sprayed on the perfume Zion once told me was his favorite.I wanted him to look at me and remember why he had chosen me.Why he had loved me.Why he had promised me forever.A knock sounded on my door."Ma'am, it's time."I turned toward the door, my heart jumping."Thank you. I'll be out in a minute."The moment the maid left, I looked at myself in the mirror one last time."Today," I whispered.I smiled.I had no idea that those would be the last few seconds of my life when I still believed I was loved.••The ceremony was being he

Chapter 2

My blood boiled.A favor?They had destroyed my life and had the audacity to call it a favor."I don't need any of your favors!"My voice cracked through the room."You never wanted me anyway. I'm sick and tired of hearing the same thing over and over again!"Mom's expression hardened.She walked toward me slowly."I'm your mother," she said coldly. "And whatever I say, you will obey."Before I could respond, her hand closed around my wrist.Tight.Pain shot through my arm.I gasped."Mom..."Her fingers dug deeper into my skin."Please..."My voice trembled."You're hurting me."For a moment, she didn't let go.I stared at her face, searching for something.A flicker of regret.Anything that would remind me that she was still my mother.There was nothing.Dad stepped forward."That's enough, Grace. Let her go."Mom scoffed and finally released me.I immediately pulled my wrist against my chest.It throbbed where her fingers had been.I stared at the red marks appearing on my skin.My own mother ha

Chapter 3

Sarah's POVNo one came for me.Not Mom.Not Dad.Not even a maid.No one.I lay there staring at the ceiling of the infirmary, listening to the faint sounds of footsteps passing outside my room.Every time I heard someone approaching, a tiny, foolish part of me hoped they had finally come for me.But every time, the footsteps passed.And no one opened my door.I swallowed the lump in my throat.Did I mean so little to them?I had been rejected in front of the entire pack.Humiliated.Abandoned.And apparently, no one cared enough to even check if I was alive.I turned my face toward the window.Maybe I should have expected this.After all, I was the weak one.The sick one.The daughter who couldn't shift.The mate who wasn't good enough.The girl everyone had decided was better off replaced.A bitter ache settled in my chest.Did my own family really hate me that much?I slowly pushed myself up.My body protested immediately.Every muscle ached, and the pain in my chest hadn't completely disappeared

Chapter 4

Sarah's POVI hugged my knees tightly against my chest.But nothing could calm me.Not the cold rain.Not the darkness.Not even the silence surrounding me.I had spent my entire life searching for peace.I had prayed for it.Begged for it.Dreamed of the day when I could finally wake up without feeling like something was wrong with me.But perhaps peace simply wasn't meant for someone like me.Maybe I had never been meant to have it.Rain poured from the sky, soaking through my clothes until they clung painfully to my skin.I didn't move.I couldn't.I just sat beside the trash, staring at nothing.My bracelet was gone.Zion was gone.My family was gone.Or maybe they had never really been mine to begin with.A shiver ran through me.I wrapped my arms tighter around myself.I'm alone.The thought settled heavily in my chest.Not once did Mom come outside.Not once did she ask if I was okay.Not once did she call my name.She knew I was out here.She knew it was raining.She knew I was sick.And she stil

Chapter 5

Sarah's POVThe first thing I felt was warmth.Not the warmth of sunlight.Not the warmth of a blanket.It wrapped around me gently, almost protectively, easing the terrible pain that had torn through my body.For a few seconds, I allowed myself to enjoy it.I didn't want to open my eyes.I didn't want to know where I was.I didn't want reality.Because wherever I was, it couldn't possibly hurt as much as reality did.Slowly, my eyelids fluttered open.A strange room came into view.Dark mahogany shelves lined the walls, filled with ancient books. Moonlight slipped through the tall windows, painting silver lines across the polished wooden floor.The faint scent of cedar and sandalwood lingered in the air.I frowned.Where am I?Then everything came rushing back.The ceremony.The restroom.Zion?My heart clenched.I tried to sit up.Instantly, dizziness washed over me."Don't."That voice.My body went rigid.I slowly turned my head.Zion.He was sitting beside the bed.His elbows rested on his kne
