Fate Bound by Moonlight

Synopsis

I, Ella Blackwood, was the only half-blood who couldn't shift among the pack. At the mating ball, Raymond Nightshade, the Alpha's younger brother, threw the fate necklace in my face. The clasp sliced my eye, and blood dripped into my wine glass. He forced me to my knees. With the Alpha's ring on his finger, he ground it hard against the back of my hand. The sound of my bones cracking was barely audible. "You're a good-for-nothing who can't even shift. You think you deserve to be my brother's mate?" Raymond sneered. The whole crowd burst out laughing. No one noticed the faint glow of the necklace at my neck, and no one heard the voice echoing in my mind. It was Kaelen Nightshade, the Alpha, asking, 'Who dares lay a finger on my fated mate?'
