The day Vincent Baker snapped my right hand beneath his boot, his first love, Selena Hart, was trying on the Luna gown that had been meant for me. "You're nothing but a worthless Omega with no wolf spirit," he snapped. "The only thing you're good for is being Selena's personal blood supply." Cold sweat poured down my skin from the agony, yet I couldn't make a single sound begging for mercy. For three years, I'd endured endless blood extractions on his estate, all to settle my family's debt to him. He hated my inferior scent. Every single time he finished taking my blood, he'd have me doused head to toe in disinfectant, no exceptions. I bore every humiliation in total silence. It all came to an end at the full moon ritual. Before the entire pack, he placed the Luna bone ring, the mark of the Luna's status, on Selena's finger and ordered me exiled from the pack for good. He'd expected me to grovel on my knees and beg for his mercy. But instead, I severed the long-dormant mate bond I'd held suppressed for a full decade, right in front of the entire pack. "Before the Moon Goddess, I, Chloe Rivers, formally reject Vincent Baker as my fated mate," I declared.
