In this world, status was everything. It determined living conditions and also mating conditions. Only alphas could mate alphas. But when I got mated to James, everything changed. Everyone saw it as a sign from the moon goddess that it was time to forgo the attachment to status. Even though my parents were alphas and my twin sister was also an alpha, James didn't mind that I was the odd one out. I thought he didn't. He loved me. He was kind to me. I stared at James with pleading eyes, hoping to glean some empathy from him. Just last year we had been mated. I was overjoyed to be mated to the alpha's son then, and the one I had a massive crush on for the longest time. He got crowned alpha and I became Luna. Little did I know that he had been in love with my own sister for years. And they were fucking behind my back.
