I didn't leave my children because I was strong. I left because if I stayed one more night, I was going to kill my own sister. For four years, I was the Luna who scrubbed her own pack house floors on my knees - even while pregnant. My husband, Alpha Andel, called me ugly and useless. He slept with my blood sister, Lena, in my own bed. His sister held me down and ripped my nail off with pliers while he watched and kept walking. Then I overheard him on the balcony: "I drugged Catherine's drink. She gave it to her parents. They drove off the cliff." For seven years I thought I killed my own parents. At 2:13 AM I smelled my three babies' heads one last time and left blood on his white pillow: I KNOW. - C Five years later, I'm back. Not as his Luna. As his stepmother. The Lycan King holding my waist is his father. And now the Alpha who ruined me is on his knees in the rain, begging.

At 6, I gave my sister my doll. So she would stop crying.At 10, I gave her my dagger. So our parents would call her strong.At 13, I was supposed to give her my spot at the Alpha Academy. I said NO for the first time.At 18, on my birthday, I found my fated mate.He is Kael. Future Alpha. The boy every she-wolf wants. And he looked at me like I was the only one in the world.Then my family walked in and asked me to do it again."Give him to your sister, Lyra. Be a good girl. Elara has nothing. You have everything."They want me to reject my own fated mate. To give the Alpha heir to my older sister.But Kael grabbed my wrist and whispered:"You don't have to be good for them. You just have to be mine."Will I finally learn to keep what is mine? Or will I lose my mate to be my family's good girl forever?Fated Mates | Alpha Heir x Beta's Daughter | Sister Rivalry | Rejected Mate | Second Chance | Possessive Alpha | She-Wolf Who Learns To Say NO
