Eighteen Again

“Just—just get it over with.” He paused, titling his head. “Get what over with?” I glare at him, “The rejection. Just do it.” He stared at me, the smile he wore on his face suddenly dropped, “You think I intend to hurt you? That I will reject you?” Fine, if he wanted to play this way then no problem. “Fine. If you won’t reject me, I reject you.” I don’t even have time to react before he’s in front of me. “Try again, little wolf.” He leans in, lips ghosting over my ear “Reject me all you want. The moon goddess brought you here for me and now you’re mine.” ~~~~ Emma had always been nothing. An orphan. An omega. But when she turned eighteen, the Moon Goddess gave her hope, her mate was Aiden Blackwood, the future Alpha. For the first time, she thought she belonged. But Aiden shattered her. He rejected her. He used her. And then, in front of the entire pack, he claimed another as his mate and Luna. Broken and betrayed, Emma ran. She didn’t care where she ended up, until she crossed into forbidden land and was thrown into a cage, waiting to die. Only for him to appear. Kieran Valerian. The Lycan King. A man whispered about in fear. A ruler with blood on his hands. And when his golden eyes locked onto hers, the world seemed to stop. “Mate.” But Emma refuses to be weak ever again. She will never beg for love. Never trust an Alpha’s promises. Not even when the most powerful Lycan alive looks at her like she belongs to him. Because she learned the hard way that mates can destroy you. And this time, she won’t go down without a fight.

As for the license date, it shows February 14th, three years ago. So this is why she hasn't shown up the last eighteen times. It turns out that she's already somebody else's wife.
