Luna's Humiliating Bloodline Trial
Right after Ethan and I announced our mating ceremony, his childhood sweetheart from the pack, Sophia, came rushing back.
And she flat-out demanded I go through a "bloodline trial."
"Someone like you, a wolf outcast, you're definitely up to no good. You have to pass this month-long bloodline trial before our pack will accept your mating!"
With Ethan basically giving them the nod, Sophia and her pack betas put me through hell.
They deliberately messed with my moonlight alchemy circle, almost tore my mind apart.
The backlash from the moon energy tortured me until I almost broke. My body felt like it was being ripped to shreds.
They contaminated my sacred water potions. The choking fumes nearly suffocated me.
The betas were cruel and vicious. "She's just a lone wolf anyway. If she dies, no pack will back her up."
Then, Sophia stole the Moon Goddess sacred artifact my grandma left me—the Moon Alchemy Cauldron.
She taunted me, all cocky.
"If you've got the guts, try summoning the Moon Goddess's power on the blood moon night to take it back! Otherwise, I'll use your family's crappy old cauldron as a chamber pot!"
I’ve had enough. I’m so sick of these ‘trials,’ and there’s no way in hell I’m mating with Ethan.
