Turning back to me and the pack, he announced, "I am taking a chosen mate befitting of the position of the Luna of this great pack." His announcement didn't come as a shocker to me. I sort of expected it, but I thought he'd surprise me. I thought that the mate bond wouldn't be this weak. Looking at me squarely, he said, "I, Alpha Karsten Shadowcroft of the Blood Moon Pack, reject you, Amelia Holloway as my mate." My knees buckled after hearing his words, and a sudden weakness spread through my limbs. ******* Amelia Holloway had always yearned for a mate to help her escape her miserable life. Despite being wolfless, she had a chance to find him on her 18th birthday because it was the night of the blood moon. But fate dealt a cruel hand. Her mate turned out to be Alpha Karsten, the man who tormented her for years. Not only did he reject her, but he chose another over her, shattering her already fragile world. With all hopes of getting her freedom and finding love lost, a chance encounter with the Lycan King, Alexander Blackthorn, brought a ray of hope into her life. Can Amelia escape her past and embrace this newfound hope, or will betrayal tear it all down? What happens when skeletons from the past come lurking? Will her love triumph over everything?

Amelia’s only goal the last five years was ‘Survival’. She didn’t know why every rogue she encountered wanted a normal human like her dead. She didn’t know why her mother had to sacrifice herself to protect her. All she knew was that she needed to survive. She needed to make it to the Silver Lake pack. Only then would she get the answers that she needed to make sense of the tragic life she lived.

Escaping from the grasp of her monstrous Alpha Father who intends to marry her off to an old fellow, 23 years old Celine runs into the arms of yet another powerful Alpha Kilhan Disregarding her hatred for his kind, she agrees to a One night stand with him in exchange for finance as her father had cut her off from the family wealth. It was supposed to be just one night, but Alpha Kilhan got obsessed, he knew he wanted her from the first sight, he had finally found his mate after years of searching and he wasn’t going to let go. Celine would do everything in her power to avoid fate, she wanted a new life away from evil power hungry Alpha wolves, but what if this fate was unavoidable? Alpha Kilhan would do everything in his power to have her, but first they needed to deal with the obstacles that stand in the way of their love story. Unending crises and family secrets threaten to break this union, dark pasts and evil motives. Can their love triumph against the storm? Or are they meant to never be? *** “Who are you?” He asked. His voice was thick but calm, and his eyes continually searched mine. Before I could answer, a woman spoke from beside him. “She’s a nobody. She isn’t part of the women we prepared for you tonight, boss.” She uttered, while we still kept our intense gaze intact. “I don’t care. I want her.”

Liam's gaze remained unwavering as he continued, the truth finally pouring forth from his lips. “I've tried to deny it, but last night… being with you… I can't deny it any longer. You are my mate.” The reality of his words hung heavy in the air, casting a tension between them. “Liam, this is…this is complicated, but we can do it,” Mia finally managed to stammer out, her voice laced with uncertainty. The weight of her words settled over Liam like a suffocating blanket, the gravity of the situation pressing down upon him. He knew what he had to do, even if it tore his heart in two. “You are best friends with your daughter. And that's why I can't do this. As much as I want to explore every part of you, I can't hurt my daughter like that. I can't betray her trust.” Mia's eyes glistened with unshed tears, her heartbreaking with every syllable that fell from Liam's lips. “So, what are you saying?” A heavy silence hung between them, thick with the weight of Liam's impending decision. With a deep breath, he finally spoke the words that would seal their fate. “I'm saying… I'm rejecting you as my mate.” Mia's breath caught in her throat, the reality of Liam's rejection hitting her like a physical blow. Tears welled in her eyes as she struggled to comprehend the magnitude of what had just transpired. “Liam, please don't do this,” she pleaded, her voice trembling with emotion. But Liam's heart was heavy with the burden of his choice. “I'm sorry, Mia. But I can't let this go any further. It's better this way, for everyone involved.” With a heavy heart, Mia turned to leave, the weight of Liam's rejection settling over her like a suffocating shroud. Mia, an omega, was mated to Liam Carter, An alpha of Silver pack and father of her best friend Tara. What will happen when Liam tries to win her back after the rejection he once did?

"I am Amber Jasper, daughter of the Alpha of the Scarlet Pack. But others only thought I was the lowest of slaves, and no one knew I existed. Because my father never wanted to acknowledge me, he treated me as a stain on his life just because my mother was omega. The day I turned eighteen, my father killed my mate in front of me, just so he could get me to marry his vicious enemy instead of my stepsister. And it was also the day I received the deadliest curse of all. I will never forget him gasping for breath, lifting his head helplessly with rage in his eyes, and saying with his last strength, ""I, Eric Johnson, curse you with my life to never be happy, to be betrayed for all eternity-"". This curse that filled the rest of my life .... *** I am Alpha King Ryan, and I have watched my father be struck down in front of me, a nightmare that has haunted me for years! And now the chance for revenge has come. [Alpha, we've picked up Luke's daughter and will be returning soon.] A grin of pure, unadulterated happiness tore across my face and I laughed triumphantly. I had been waiting for this day for what felt like an eternity. After enduring years of painful memories and biding my time until the perfect moment presented itself to me, as if by magic, that moment had arrived. But as I stood there stoically as the car parked and the back door opened, my heart almost stopped. As much as I wanted to throw her away from me, I inhaled deeply and my wolf surged forward growling a single word possessively as our eyes locked. ""MATE!"" My stomach sank and a wave of disgust washed over me as I fought furiously against my wolf for control. No, it's not possible! I will never accept her as my mate, I will make her the lowest of slaves! I will destroy everything about her, just like her father once did to me!"
