We were supposed to be together. Yes, Raymond and I. Perfect for each other. Every one saw it. My parents did. His parents did too. We got married and mated only for him to meet his 'true' mate. I could not the explain the feeling of pain and betrayal that went through me as I watched my mate kiss another woman.He turned to me. "Shantelle, I'm sorry. I can't stop myself. My wolf... He is calling out to her." He begged.My eyes dimmed on the younger lady and I caught a slip of smirk on her lips. Funnily, she looked oddly familiar. Where did I know her from?"Maybe if you can be my Luna and she -""I, Shantelle, will never be anyone's second choice." I spat out even before he could finish. I turned around and left in anger. Only if I had known that I was already pregnant with his kids and that I would be returning back to this place where it all started.

“I… I’m not interested anymore, Ivy. I found my mate.” That was all it took for my entire world to collapse—like something fragile shattering at my feet, beyond repair. Danny and I had been together for three years. From the very beginning, we both knew the odds weren’t in our favor. The Moon Goddess didn’t always grant lovers the mercy of being mates. Still, we held on to hope… or maybe I did. I believed—foolishly, stubbornly—that what we had was strong enough to survive even that. I thought love would be enough. I was wrong. Because when it came down to it, he chose her. His mate. Not me. And just like that, everything we were meant nothing. But I refused to break in front of him. I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of seeing me fall apart over someone who could walk away so easily. I wouldn’t be that weak, pathetic girl. So I did the only thing I could think of. I turned. Lifted my chin. And without thinking—without breathing—I reached for the nearest man I saw… …and kissed him. It was reckless. Desperate. Completely out of character. And the worst mistake of my life. Because the man I had just kissed… was Brandon Robinson. My Alpha. Danny’s brother. And my brother’s best friend.
