The whispers always followed me. “Cursed child.” “Worthless Omega.” “The Moon Goddess made a mistake with her.” I grew up at the bottom of the pack, treated worse than dirt. Even my own blood the Alpha’s blood meant nothing when my wolf never awakened. At fifteen, I was already branded an outcast. The children of Betas and Gammas laughed as they threw scraps at me, and I swallowed my shame with every insult. But deep inside, something burned. A promise. One day, I will rise. One day, they would regret casting me aside. And that day came sooner than I thought… the night the bond snapped into place and my mate was revealed. The future Alpha. The same boy who had broken my bones and spirit countless times. The same man who sneered as his eyes glowed gold and he whispered the words that shattered me: “I, Damian Blackwood, reject you.” The whole pack roared with laughter. My heart shattered. My wolf howled in silence. But that rejection was not my ending. It was my beginning.
