When My Mate Betrayed Me For Power

Synopsis

The acrid smell of bleach burned my nostrils as I scrubbed the damp stones of the pack house dungeon. My knees ached against the cold floor, hands raw and red from hours of cleaning. This was my life now—Sophia Bennett, once destined Luna, now the lowest Omega, tasked with the jobs no one else would touch. Four years. Four years since my Coming of Age ceremony when my wolf failed to appear. Four years of whispers, mockery, and the pitying glances that hurt worse than outright cruelty. Four years of watching my sister Charlotte rise as I fell. "The mixture has been effective for years now. I don't understand your concern." The pack healer's voice drifted from around the corner, making me freeze mid-scrub. "My father wants assurance it will continue to work." James Crawford's voice—my childhood mate, the future Alpha who had once promised to love me forever—was cold, businesslike.
