Prologue
"Mate"
He whispered, his eyes betrayed the thunder of emotions he was feeling, happiness and love surrounded his entire being.
Her eyes lit up as well and her body radiated with the sudden happiness she was feeling from finding her mate. A small smile formed on her lips and he couldn't hide his. His mate was finally here with him, the one that was created for him, to cherish and love until the end of time. Such a bond so ancient and holy, that few were lucky to experience.
Without realizing it he stopped and stared, she had straight blond hair down to her shoulders and piercing blue eyes. Her complexion was pale with pink undertones and the veins on her arms were visible. She couldn't be more beautiful he thought happily, as his wolf hummed in agreement.
After realizing he was standing there without moving, he smiled sheepishly and went next to her. He softly placed his hands around her waist and pulled her closer to his body. He wrapped her in his arms and held her there, finally happy that he had found his mate. He made sure not to add too much pressure in order not to hurt her as he inhaled her scent.
She embraced his hug, not bothering to hide her excitement. He thought that he was the reason for her happiness and he couldn't be happier, that he already affected her. He slightly tightened his grip around her giving her a light squeeze, happy himself as well that he had finally found his mate.
"What's your name beautiful," he asked with a husky voice, the love in his tone was evident to whoever was in the room.
"Valerie," she said with a slight giggle as she snuggled closer in to his chest
"Valerie," he said testing her name with a sincere smile on his face
She turned to look at him, watching every little detail on his face. Her eyes finally found his, her face not showing any emotion, making it hard to read, until a small smile formed on her lips. It wasn't as wide as his, but this was probably due to the fact that his entire pack was watching their every movement intensely.
"I love you" she spoke softly as she lowered her head once again, Sean's wolf hollowed in delight and he felt his heart flutter seeing how adorable she looked in that moment.
"I love you" he whispered close to her ear and her body shivered, he couldn't determine if it was from happiness or not, but he couldn't believe that his mate accepted him so fast. The bond between them was not only formed but already it was becoming stronger.
Alpha Sean Dawson felt like he had everything a man could wish for. He was the alpha of one of the greatest packs around the world and he had finally found his other half, the luna of his pack, and the one who would rule alongside him.
Unfortunately, his happiness was cut short one dreadful morning.
He didn't come back to his room until sunrise, he had a lot of pack related business to finish. All night long he spent his time trying to sort out everything, so that he could spend the next couple of days with his mate with no worries. He had planned a big surprise for her.
During the night he felt a pain piercing his chest but he ignored it, he thought it was probably the mate bond that wanted him to be with his mate.
"Soon" was constantly reminding himself to finish what he had started. And he finally finished, an entire week's work, a little later than eight in the morning. His thoughts all night long were occupied by his mate’s beauty, he couldn't waste any more time away from her, so he rushed to meet her.
Unfortunately what he saw that morning, scarred him for life. His mate was wrapped in his brother's arms, giggling carefree as he placed small feather kisses on her neck. His entire body froze from the scene unfolding in front of him and the blood in his veins turned to ice. His mate turned to look at him with a smirk on her face, making sure his brother's mark was visible for his eyes to see.
Alpha Sean Dark thornfelt like he had everything yesterday, a pack to lead, and a beautiful mate by his side. Until his life was turned upside down. His mate hadmated with his brother and rejected him shortly afterwards. He was heartbroken and too weak to defend himself. His brother didn't miss his chance to steal his alpha title by humiliating him in front of his pack.
He was too weak to fight and he didn't care, all he wanted is his mate. His one and only, the one person who was made for him. But she wanted power, she wanted to rule and she didn't care with who, as long as she was the most powerful. She hated Sean and his kindness, she thought of him to be weak and weak was what she made him feel.
