I Refused the Alpha
Gabriel Steele was the most disciplined Alpha in the northern territories.
A man who ruled his pack by order, law, and absolute authority.
Which was exactly why our mating was a disaster.
Last life, when my father handed me the Steele Marking Contract, I signed it without hesitation.
I thought becoming Luna meant belonging somewhere.
Instead, I spent years being laughed at.
At pack galas, noble she-wolves whispered behind my back.
“Wait—that woman with the green hair and the tiny skirt is our Luna?”
“She looks like she walked straight out of a nightclub.”
“No discipline, no manners… how embarrassing for the pack.”
Cassian didn’t defend me;
“Forgive her. She still has much to learn about pack discipline.”
Discipline?
Like I was some unruly wolf that needed breaking.
So I buried my claws, silenced my instincts, and lived inside his laws—
until the wolf inside me withered away.
When I opened my eyes again—
I was back at the moment the mating contract was placed before me.
This time, I wrote another name on the contract.
Amelia.
She can have the disciplined Alpha.
As for me—
I’d rather be a wild she-wolf than anyone’s perfect Luna.
But the moment Gabriel realized the bride wasn’t me—The Alpha who lived by iron law
Broke every rule he had ever sworn to follow.
