Angelo thought he could throw me away? Bella thought she could take everything from me? They were wrong. So wrong.

My knees buckled, and I hit the ground hard. Someone screamed—maybe me, maybe my wolf, maybe both. “I choose Lily Adams as my true mate.” The pack's shock was palpable. Choosing a new mate minutes after rejection? Even Alpha Jensen looked uncomfortable. “The Moon Goddess blessed your bond with Sophie,” one of the pack elders spoke up. “To reject it is—” “The Goddess's will is mysterious,” Tom cut in smoothly. “Perhaps she showed me Sophie first so I would recognize my true mate when I found her.” I wanted to vomit. How many times had he fed me those same sweet lines? Lily stepped forward, radiant in a white dress. I suddenly remembered helping her pick it out last week. Had she bought it for this moment? “I accept Thomas Bennett as my mate,” she said clearly. “And I accept the position of Luna of the Silver Moon Pack.” Rejected by her destined mate and betrayed by her pack, Luna warrior Sophie finds herself drowning her sorrows at a human bar. That's where she meets the mysterious Christian Knight—a powerful Alpha from a rival pack.
