I didn't stop running until I hit the woods.
My chest was on fire. Not from running. From his rejection.
"I, Alpha Adrian Blackwood, reject you as my mate and future Luna."
The words kept replaying in my head.
The mating mark on my neck faded to nothing. The bond snapped.
I was officially nothing to him now.
I collapsed against a tree and sobbed. Until I remembered.
3 minutes before the ceremony, I took a pregnancy test in the bathroom.
Two pink lines.
My hands shook as I pressed them to my stomach.
"Hey baby," I whispered. "It's just the two of us now, no matter what, I will always love and cherish you."
Adrian didn't want me. Fine.
But he didn't get to reject our child.
I stood up, wiped my face, and made a vow to the moon.
One day he would regret this.
One day I would be so powerful, so rich, so untouchable...
That HE would be the one begging.
I walked out of Blackwood territory that night with $20 and a secret.
I wasn't going to be the rejected omega anymore.
I was going to be Cloe Grande.
" I am going to burn your world down, Adrian!.
