Broken MateUpdated at Dec 23, 2020, 05:00
Rain has survived more than most wolves could bear. Broken in body and spirit, she moves through life because she has no other choice. Ever since she witnessed her father’s death as a child, she’s been mistreated, silenced, and forced into servitude in a pack that sees lower‑rank wolves as disposable. Evan, a man obsessed with her, only adds to her torment with unwanted advances and cruel games.
But fate has other plans. Rain’s mate is none other than the Alpha’s son — a man who sees her worth even when she can’t. Bound by duty and politics, he must tread carefully, knowing his parents would never accept a servant as their future Luna. Yet he’s determined to mend the pieces of her shattered soul and claim the woman destiny chose for him.
As danger closes in and old wounds resurface, Rain must decide whether she can trust the mate who wants to save her… or remain trapped in the life that’s been slowly destroying her.
Evan comes near the table, smirking at me, and starts to pour his own drink. He is inches away, but I keep staring straight, trying to ignore him. That's when I feel his hand caressing my arm and then he starts whistling that tune. The tune that reminds me of him, my body shakes, and the tray that I was holding falls with a loud shatter but I'm not in this room anymore. My mind is back at that moment, back in that room with Evan.
"No no no no no no no." I say in a whisper and whimper as I kneel on the floor with my body moving by itself, picking up the mess. But it's like a am not seeing what is in front of me anymore. My body wants to automatically run as I remember what he tried to do that time.
I feel someone touch me and say something but I can't make it out. I panic and start swinging my hands, trying to get them away from me.
"Don't touch me! Don't touch me!!" I yell, and then I feel someone slap me.
I look up with tears streaming down my face and finally notice the Luna, she is looking at me pissed. I look around the room and everyone is looking at me in shock,d except for Alpha Cristian, who has a bloodied nose and looks at me like he can't believe what just happened.
(Oh no....did I hit him?... I am so dead.)
