"I Aiden accept you, Janelle Rose, as my mate and Luna of The White Oak Pack." His words are like a punch to the gut. Sucking all the air from my lungs. "How!?" I gasp, gripping my sides. "He-he… She's not his mate. I'm his mate!" I scream... "You dare stake a claim on my mate!" Shrieks Janelle, "How dare you! Aiden! I will not stand for this kind of disrespect! She needs to go! NOW!" Glaring at her, I turn my attention to Aiden. His eyes soften if only for a second. "I Alpha Aiden Timberland, banish you Vex Riverton from The White Oak Pack!" It's like a knife is plunged into my heart as I drop to my knees. "Remove her!" Aiden says, turning, with Janelle hanging on his arm. "I never want to see her again!" That moment changed my life forever—I was no longer part of a community or even a family... Well, almost... but because of it, I gained a strength I never knew I had and power I never thought I'd possess.

"No." It was the last thing I expected to say to my father. One moment, I was an Avian commander and in line for the throne. The next... I was stranded in a realm that wasn't my own. Getting home is all that matters. Until Ronin. The Alpha's Beta has an infuriating habit of calling me Princess. He watches my every move, questions every decision, and somehow always manages to get under my skin. Every clash leaves me wanting to prove him wrong. The longer I stay, the harder it becomes to ignore the tension between us. Because getting home has never been the question. It's what I'll have to leave behind to do it. "You crossed into my world. You belong to me now, Princess."
