Alpha Lost His Moon Priestess

Synopsis

At the mate confirmation ceremony held on the blood moon night, I, Evelyn Ashby, attended alongside Alex Sterling, the Alpha Heir, with my commoner maid, Selena Lupin. When the silvery light of the Moon Goddess's Eye shone down on the three of us, the entire court erupted in cheers, urging the future Alpha to kiss his fated mate. My cheeks flushed as I was about to tilt my head up, but Alex chuckled under the watchful eyes of the pack. He turned aside and, amid the wild howls of the wolves, kissed Selena passionately. As the silvery light faded, Alex let go of her, still savoring the moment. Meeting my stunned gaze, he carelessly wiped away the lipstick at the corner of his mouth. "Sorry, it's my body reacting instinctively during the heat. Maybe it's because we've hooked up too many times on full moon nights." Selena, standing nearby, covered the fresh moon mark on her neck and lowered her head in shame. Alex stroked my hair gently to soothe me. "Your blood is too pure. I could never be rough with you. Selena's different. She's wild to the core and doesn't hold back." He stared at me like his reasoning was plain common sense, his gaze warm and upright. "I give her my body, but I honor you as my Luna. That doesn't change the fact that you're the one my soul truly loves." The mating imprint's backlash hit me so hard my blood nearly froze, and a sharp ringing stabbed through my nerves. Amid the court's buzzing chatter, I fixed the pair huddled close together with an icy glare. "Alex, send the bond rejection request to the Council of Elders."
