As the younger sister of the most powerful Alpha in the Southern Territory, I dated Damon, my brother's biggest rival for Alpha King, for five years without telling my brother and parents. We were in love for five years, and he gave me everything. He always tells me his wolf can't control its desire when it sees me. That's why he likes to have sex with me anywhere, anytime—even out in the wild, he doesn't care. But the day before our mating ceremony, I found out that my fiancé was dating me just to threaten my brother to quit the election with our sex tape. After knowing the truth, I decided to give up everything and leave, but my fiancé humbly knelt on the ground and begged me to come back.

The night of my first shift at eighteen, my two older brothers brought home a twelve-year-old orphaned Omega. My alpha brother seized the rare healing herb I'd spent all my savings on—herbs meant to ease my first transformation—and gave them to her instead. "You're strong enough," he growled. "You don't need such precious herbs." My beta brother snarled with fury, pointing toward the door. "Get out! Don't come back!" I said nothing more, just grabbed my packed bag and left. They assumed I was merely throwing a tantrum, that I'd return in a few days. My brothers, finally free of my presence, took the orphan girl on an international vacation to the Caribbean islands I'd always dreamed of visiting. Many days later, when they returned to the pack, they were shocked to discover I'd accepted an offer from the neighboring pack's Head Healer. The position required fifteen years of isolated herbal research. I could never return home. That night, they fell apart.

After a wild college party, Isla woke up and her eyes almost pop out of their sockets. Damien Da Silva was lying beside her. He was her crush, her first love, the boy she's dare not look in the eyes because she's not in his league. When he wakes up, he said to her coldy; “Get out of my sight. And don’t tell anyone what happened, or I’ll make the rest of your life hell.” But the next day, the video leaks. He shows up angrily and spat to her face; “You’re just desperate for my attention. Everyone knows you’re not my type.” Eight years later, at a business gala, Isla and Damien bumps into each other. “Isla Pereira?” he calls out. “Khan,” “What?” “It’s no longer Pereira. It’s Khan,” she flashed her sapphire-halo diamond ring before his face. He looks surprised and disappointed. “You’re married?” Isla smirks, “You’d rather I waited for you?”
