My sin was being born with my twin sister Savannah, causing my mother’s death, and “stealing” part of the gift the Goddess had given Savannah. Hated by my father, humiliated, hidden away in my own pack, I became someone with no name, no identity… just my twin’s double. Until the day an accident left her in a coma, and I was forced once again to take her place, only this time somewhere even more dangerous. My father sent me to HighMoon Academy, where the elite forces are trained, and I’m supposed to serve Lycan Prince Aurelius. That arrogant, rude, savage wolf. Savannah’s dream was to claw her way to the throne. Mine… is to find my freedom. This time, I’m not following my father’s plans. So I ensured my absence. I thought that would get me off the prince's radar. Until the night I end up pinned against the Academy’s cold walls, his dangerous wolfish eyes burning into me with anger, one hand on my chin and the other on my waist. “Do you really think pretending you don’t care is going to save you?” he growled against my lips, sending shivers of pleasure racing through my whole body. I wasn’t going to back down from him. We were both hiding dark secrets, playing a game so dangerous it could destroy us… or bind us together forever. “Because I’m not who you think I am, Lycan prince, and the real Savannah will be back soon.”

"For years, I belonged to him. Not his mate. Not his love. But his bedmate. His Gamma. His shadow in the night. Alpha Calhoun made sure no man dared touch me, no wolf dared look at me. I was his possession, his secret, his sin wrapped in skin. And I endured it all—his rough hands, his dark devotion, his kisses that tasted like fire and chains because at least, for a while, he was mine. Until she returned. His destined mate. His so-called true love. And suddenly, I was nothing. Cast aside, silenced, left to wither in the shadows of a love that had never been mine to claim. But the thing about being claimed by a man like Calhoun… is that he never truly lets you go. ""Try to leave me, Elodie,"" his voice had been a snarl against my throat, his grip bruising my waist. ""I'll burn down every border, tear apart every wolf that stands in my way, until you crawl back to me. You're mine, even if the Moon Goddess herself wants to rip you away."" He didn't know then that I already had one foot out the door. And when I finally left his pack… I took more than just my broken heart with me."

“I, Julius Armstrong, reject Doris Charles as my mate.” The laughter came right after. This was the second time my mate rejected me because I cannot talk. In the pack, they call me dumb not because I am stupid, but because I am mute. When I turned eighteen, my first mate rejected me for that reason. Today, it was the Gamma. He is twenty-one, the same age as the Alpha and Beta. This was his third rejection. The first girl was too fat, the second was too short and now, I was dumb. I never wanted to attend the mating ceremony. I knew how it would end, but my stepmother forced me to go, and my stepsisters came just to watch me get mocked again. The next day, wolves who had found their mates returned to officially claim them before the Alpha and pack leaders. I went only because I was forced, just to stand there and watch my stepsister get chosen. Then something happened that no one expected. The Alpha claimed me as his mate in front of everyone. Was I shocked? Yes. Did I believe him? No. Did I think it was a cruel joke? Absolutely. Because no Alpha would choose a rejected, mute girl like me.
