Pregnant and Banished from the Pack

Annotation

"Tell us now! Who you spent the night with!" "Yes, answer us! Was he your mate?" "What a disgrace! She won't tell us anything. It's clear she gave herself to a man who is not her mate!" The wolves surrounding me kept shouting and accusing, pointing their fingers at me relentlessly. I wished I could disappear into the ground. "Milan is my mate! Or was, rather," Lucas suddenly declared boldly, shocking everyone into silence. I was stunned and bewildered. What did he just say? I was certain he didn't want others to know about our bond as mates, which was why he heartlessly rejected me last night. "God, she's such a sl*t!" "I can't believe she cheated even though she was mated to the Alpha's son." "By the moon goddess, this girl is disgusting." "No, no, let me explain..." I tried to beg as I listened to their accusations and insults, hoping they'd give me a chance to explain, but my attempts were worthless. "Does she want to tell us that the Alpha's son was the one who slept with her last night?" Another person spoke up, and Lucas responded before I could say anything. "I've never slept with Milan and have no plans to do so. She's just a filthy wh*r* who can't close the filthy hole between her legs." "No!" I screamed. "I see now that rejecting you last night was the best thing I'd done in a long time, Milan." *** On the night of her 18th birthday, orphaned Milan looks forward to her first shift and the chance to meet her fated mate. But her hopes are shattered when she finds her mate, Lucas, the Alpha's son, in bed with another woman. Crushed, humiliated, and rejected, Milan stumbles into the forest, desperate to escape the pain. There, under the intoxicating pull of the mating season, she shares a night with a man who claims her as his mate. By morning, he's gone, and worse, Milan finds herself surrounded by her pack. Lucas, who cheated and rejected her first, now publicly accuses her of betrayal. Labeled a wh*r*, branded a traitor, and now carrying a child she can't explain, Milan faces banishment under their brutal pack laws. Meanwhile, the man, a strong but cursed Alpha from another pack, Jake Anderson, searches relentlessly for the mate he's determined not to lose. Will he find her before it's too late?
