Echoes of a Hated Moon
Alpha Scott hated me, his fated mate, more than anything. All because I was just a human, a useless creature without claws.
His heart belonged entirely to his childhood sweetheart, Joanna.
After Joanna died in an accident, he hated me for ten years.
But when an enemy pack’s bomb exploded in front of our den, he saved me.
Before he died, covered in blood and lying in my arms, he used his last ounce of strength to push away my trembling hand.
"Elena, if only the Moon Goddess had never let us meet..."
At the funeral, the former Luna—Scott's mother—grabbed my collar, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Scott, it's my fault. I never should have forced you to accept this human. If I had supported your choice of Joanna, would any of this have happened today?"
I didn't answer. Because she was right.
After being dragged out of the funeral, I climbed Skyfall Ridge—the pack's sacred ground—alone and leaped.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day the Moon Goddess designated me as Scott's mate.
This time, I decided to sever all ties with Scott, to give everyone what they truly wanted.
