Alana did not know the word freedom and happiness having been confined in the basement of her family’s house accused of killing her own mother. She’s beaten, cursed at, and barely survived from crumbs of food thrown at her. She thought this is her final destiny and has accepted the bitter fate of her life not until the night of her 21st birthday, a mysterious alpha appeared at her door telling her that she is the long-lost daughter of the alpha king and claiming her as his mate he’s been looking for several years now.

"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.

"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."

The words stun me even as I say them. My heart aches, but it's what's best. He hates me. No one will ever love me. I cry silently, but I wipe my tears away. Crying doesn't change anything.

“I, Markus, Alpha of the Bluestone Pack, hereby banish you from this pack and strip you of your title as Luna.” The words hit me like a heavy stone thrown at my chest. For a second, the whole world went silent. Then the mating bond between us started to tear. It felt like someone was ripping a part of my soul away. The pain was so sharp I almost fell to my knees. But what hurt even more was the look in his eyes. He didn’t believe me. Not even a little. He believed the words of a guard he had tortured over me — his mate, the woman who had loved him for five years. The woman who had cried in his arms when the pack called me barren. The woman who was carrying his child right now. He had zero faith in me.

I turned to Liam, my voice a snarl. “You should have been mine! She took you from me!” His face twisted shock, rage, grief but I didn’t care. The knife was still in my hand, slick with her blood. I pressed it to my throat, the edge biting into my skin. One quick slice, and pain seared through me, hot and final. I collapsed beside Liora, her lifeless eyes staring into mine as my vision faded to black.

As I kept screaming, I noticed a young werewolf who I had helped treat an injury during a war a long time ago and beckoned to him. “Please, help me. I can’t take this pain anymore. Make it stop, please!!!” I cried as the burning pain increased. The young werewolf glanced at me with pity for a minute and took a bow and arrow. “So long, Sophia.” I smiled weakly as an arrow pierced my chest, ending my suffering and pain.
