THE REBIRTH LUNA
My heart sank as Ryder Blackmane, the Alpha's son, stood before the gathered pack, scanning the faces with apparent indifference, and declared, "I do not have a mate."
Tears welled in my eyes, but I couldn't bear to let this false statement stand unchallenged. Pushing through the crowd, I confronted Ryder with a quivering voice. "It's not true!" I cried, drawing attention to myself. The surprise in his eyes was evident as he responded with disdain, "What do you mean, you low life?!"
Undeterred by his hostility, I stood firm, chin held high. "Prince Ryder is my mate!" I proclaimed, desperately trying to assert the truth in the face of ridicule.
