A Fleeting Dream, a Lifelong Regret
One day, I get lost in the forest. Frozen out of my wits, I accidentally barge into the Bloodmoon pack.
That's when Raul Wolfgrim, the Alpha King, stares at me, as though he's looking at the personification of a miracle. He claims that I'm his fated mate, and that he's spent years looking for me.
From that day onward, Raul gives me everything he has.
He gives me the spot next to him as well as the pride and glory of being the she-wolf who has power over the other wolves in the pack.
Every look Raul gives me is filled with hot, passionate love. Every touch proclaims his possessiveness toward me.
I used to think that I've finally found my actual home. Hence, I give up on looking for my name, my past, as well as my position in the world beyond the pack. Instead, I choose to stay next to Raul.
But five years later, Raul brings back another she-wolf named Eva Grayback after surviving a battle at the border.
As he stands before the pack with his hand intertwined with Eva's, he declares solemnly, "Eva is my actual fated mate."
As for me? I'm nothing but a liar.
While Eva is forced to suffer in life as a Rogue, I'm the one who have apparently taken up her slot in Raul's bed and shared countless nights of pleasure with him.
That's why he must rectify this mistake.
On the day before Raul and Eva hold their bonding ceremony, I'm tossed back into the forest. The beasts' fangs tear through my flesh, while wolfsbane burns in my blood like fire.
When Raul finally dispatches a squad to look for me in the forest, everything is far too late.
I've already remembered who I am and have awakened my hidden potential. That's when I decide to leave him with the unborn pup in my belly.
