"You're my mate?!" Tristian laughs as if this is some big joke. My heart aches and all I can do is coward under his glare. He looks at me like I'm nothing. The hatred in his eyes makes my eyes burn. "I-I'm sorry." I choke out and he only scoffs in disgust. My weak answer must make him hate me. "I-I didn't... I didn't mean to..." He cuts me off. "It doesn't matter. Dahlia will be my Luna. You're nothing to me." His next words cut through my heart. "I, Tristian Parker, Alpha of the Moonlight Pack, reject you Daisy Summers as my mate and Luna."

Temptation is a hard thing to fight, and I guess in this case, it is a fight that we both lost.

“Omega! A mere omega! The moon goddess dares to pair me with a mere omega!” He laments in fury and I’m tempted to roll my eyes. That’s a very typical thing for a spoiled brat like him to say. “Alpha Carter …” I start to talk but he cuts me off with a shout. “Shut your mouth! You do not talk when I’m talking!” He orders and I quietly nod my head. “Now you listen to me, you are my mate, but I’m not going to accept you. You are nothing but a mere omega. As if that’s not enough, you are the daughter of the man who tried to kill my father. I will never accept you as my mate” He sneers and I just keep looking at him like he has lost his mind.
