Alpha and Luna: Destinies shattered by betrayal

I never really understood why he found me so despicable. It felt like we were meant to have a long life together—filled with struggles, sure, but also happiness. But that full moon night, when he invited me to dinner, all my hopes came crashing down. I honestly thought Alpha Aiden was finally going to propose. It was so clear how perfectly we matched. He smelled amazing—woodsy with a hint of mint. I still couldn't believe I'd imprinted on the Alpha of the Pack. Turned out he wasn’t just any alpha—he was my soulmate. "I brought you here to end this nonsense. You shouldn't be happy about something that’s never going to happen." I never imagined the perfect man I built up in my mind could be so cruel. My wolf, my Luna, whimpered inside me, and I didn’t have the strength to comfort her—because I was just as broken. Me—Aurora. The girl who dreamed of her destined mate, who wanted nothing more than to make her wolf the happiest in the world—was being rejected. My world shattered. I felt lost... and alone. --- **“What do you mean you were ambushed?”** “Black wolves, Alpha. They were highly trained—we didn’t stand a chance. They outnumbered us. A lot of our pack got hurt. They’re in the infirmary now. Nothing too serious, but they’ll be off-duty for a while. They’re after you, my Alpha. They want to take you down.” It was my duty—to protect my pack. But more than that, to protect my Luna. She’d already revealed herself to me, and I had to admit—the goddess couldn’t have chosen better. Aurora Taylor… with her delicate face, curvy figure, honey-colored hair and eyes—I fell for her instantly. I just didn’t expect I’d have to make a choice. "You have to protect your Luna, son. She’s your weakness, and we still don’t know who our enemy is. If they hurt her, they hurt you. I’ve already lost one son… I can’t bear to lose another.” I knew what had to be done. I just wasn’t sure if I had the guts—no, not the guts, the strength. My bond with Aurora was already strong, even though I hadn’t claimed her yet. But I could feel it—our hearts beat in sync. I had no choice. It was safer to keep her away. I’d rather see Aurora in someone else’s arms and alive... than by my side, only for me to witness her death.
