At the proposal ceremony I had spent months preparing for, my destined mate dropped to one knee. Not in front of me. In front of another she-wolf. Victor Blackwood, the Alpha who had sworn before the Moon Goddess that I would be his one and only Luna, lifted the champion's ring he had promised me and slid it onto someone else's finger. The crowd cheered. Cameras flashed. The girl in front of him laughed through happy tears and leaned into his arms as if she had been born there. I stood at the edge of the crowd in the white dress he had chosen for me, feeling the mate bond inside my chest split open like a wound. That night, I turned away from Victor. Three days later, I married another Alpha. And when Victor finally understood that I had not been bluffing, that I had not been acting, that he had lost me forever, the mighty Alpha of Blackstone Pack fell apart in front of everyone.
