Prologue – The Goddess Said NoBethany (Beth) had spent her life believing she was forgettable. The orphan of an omega, raised out of obligation, tucked into the corners of her pack like a shadow no one noticed. Books became her world, knowledge was safer than people, safer than the cruel reminder that her bloodline would never make her worthy. Beth was beautiful both inside and out, but her beauty was hidden behind books, behind her geeky looking glasses and her scraggly hair.But there was something she had, something no one knew, something only gathered Goddess knew.Irrespective, fate didn’t care about bloodlines in the least.Liam Carter had never had to beg for worth. He was the son of the Alpha of their pack, Captain of the baseball team, the boy who carried an entire legacy on his shoulders and still made it look effortless. He was the one everyone wanted, the heir, the athlete, the future Alpha.He was charming, popular, their wealth was beyond what you could imagine, he was arrogant and thought way too much of himself.When his gaze collided with Beth’s, when his wolf stirred in recognition, the world snapped into place. Fated mates. Fire and gravity. A bond written long before either of them had taken their first breath.But Liam’s heart was not ready, his pride, his father’s plans, his arranged future, none of it left room for a mate like her, so when the bond burned, he did the unthinkable, "I Liam Carter, reject you, Bethany Summers"The words should have ended it, should have cut the thread clean, but instead, the tether only pulled tighter, glowing with a force that refused to unravel, because the Moon Goddess, Litha, had already decided and when Liam said no, the Goddess whispered back through the bond, "You are mistaken. She is yours.”Entangled. Irrevocable. Beth was not weak. And Liam was not free.No matter how much he tried to deny it, no matter how far he ran, the Goddess had spoken and destiny never repeated itself.It simply waited.
