Bound to His Rival
Vera Nightingale was the only human in the werewolf pack, raised alongside Alpha Kieran Ashford since childhood.
When she was 14 and rogues cornered her, Kieran was the one who fought them off.
When she was 16 and a Beta confessed to her, Kieran kissed her in front of the entire pack and made it clear she belonged to him.
The day she turned 18, Kieran announced to everyone that she was his mate, his future Luna.
Vera thought she had found her happily ever after. Then their marking ceremony arrived, and Kieran did not show.
She waited until moonset. When he finally arrived, he had an Omega with him.
"She reminds me of how you used to be," he told her. "I want to keep her."
Vera agreed. Kieran thought her love for him meant she would share.
He was wrong. In Vera's mind, betrayal only happened once. After that first time, everything that followed did not matter anymore.
If that was how he wanted to play it, she would find herself a new mate.
