Wren POV
Alpha Charlie holds me close to his chest while I cry. Why does everything have to be so difficult? He is my fated mate. Destin is supposed to love me unconditionally, and as far as I can see, he despises me. All because I am not am not Macy. Then I realize this is one final f**k you from the Moon Goddess. She chose Destin for me because she knew he would reject me. I am being punished for the actions of every werewolf that fought against her. Awesome.
"I can't do this," I whisper into his chest. "I am a mess."
Alpha Charlie pulls away from me. "Just make it short. Your mother doesn't have to know, and I will be by your side the whole time."
"My make-up…" I cry.
"You look beautiful," he whispers.
I suck in a sharp breath and hold my head high. "I can do this."
