The Girl Nobody Wanted
The cold rain poured heavily over the Black Shadow Pack as Evelyn Carter ran through the forest barefoot, her breathing uneven.
Branches scratched her pale skin while mud covered the thin white dress she wore. Behind her, angry growls echoed through the night.
“Find her!”
“She dared to reject Alpha Damon!”
“She must be punished!”
Fear tightened Evelyn’s chest.
Reject Alpha Damon?
No.
She never even had the chance.
Hours earlier, the entire pack had gathered in the Moon Hall for the annual Mate Ceremony. Every unmated wolf stood nervously while the Moon Priestess called out names.
Evelyn already knew what would happen.
Nothing.
Just like always.
She was the weak omega orphan nobody respected.
No wolf.
No family.
No rank.
And worst of all…
At twenty-one years old, she still hadn’t shifted.
The pack treated her like a curse.
“Evelyn Carter,” the priestess finally called.
Murmurs spread across the hall immediately.
“She’s still here?”
“What alpha would want that useless girl?”
“She should’ve been exiled years ago.”
Evelyn lowered her head, pretending the insults didn’t hurt anymore.
But then—
A powerful scent filled the hall.
The doors slammed open.
Alpha Damon entered.
The most feared Alpha in the Northern Territories.
Tall. Cold. Ruthless.
Every woman in the room stared at him with desire.
His dark eyes landed directly on Evelyn.
And for the first time in her life…
Her wolf stirred.
Mate.
The voice whispered inside her mind.
Evelyn froze.
No…
It couldn’t be.
Alpha Damon slowly approached her, his sharp gaze burning into her face.
The entire hall fell silent.
“You,” he said darkly.
The Moon Priestess gasped.
“The Moon Goddess has chosen.”
Alpha Damon’s jaw tightened with visible disgust.
“No.”
The single word shattered Evelyn’s heart instantly.
“She cannot be my mate.”
Whispers exploded around the room.
“He rejected her!”
“An omega rejected by an Alpha!”
“How humiliating!”
Evelyn felt like she couldn’t breathe.
Alpha Damon stared at her coldly before speaking the words that destroyed her completely.
“I, Damon Blackwood, reject Evelyn Carter as my mate.”
Pain exploded through Evelyn’s body.
She collapsed onto the floor screaming while the mating bond tore violently inside her chest.
Nobody helped her.
Nobody cared.
Even the priestess looked away.
Tears burned Evelyn’s eyes as she forced herself to stand.
She would not cry in front of them.
Not again.
But just as she turned to leave—
A second scent suddenly filled the hall.
Stronger.
Darker.
More dangerous.
The doors opened once again.
Another Alpha entered.
Alpha Kael.
Leader of the Blood Fang Pack.
Silver-haired. Tattooed. Merciless.
His crimson eyes locked onto Evelyn instantly.
The moment their gazes met—
His wolf growled possessively.
“Mine.”
The entire hall gasped.
Evelyn’s knees weakened.
No…
This was impossible.
One girl could not have two mates.
But before anyone could speak—
A terrifying pressure swept through the hall.
Windows shattered.
Candles exploded.
And a third voice echoed from the entrance.
“You are both wrong.”
Everyone turned in horror.
Alpha Lucien had arrived.
The legendary Lycan King.
The monster kings feared.
His golden eyes glowed unnaturally as he stared directly at Evelyn.
Then he smiled slowly.
“The girl belongs to me.”
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Evelyn’s heart pounded violently.
Three Alphas.
Three impossible mating bonds.
And every one of them looked ready to kill for her.
The Moon Priestess suddenly fell to her knees trembling.
“The prophecy…”
Alpha Damon’s expression darkened.
Alpha Kael growled.
Lucien continued staring at Evelyn like she was prey.
“The Chosen One has finally appeared.”
And Evelyn realized her nightmare was only beginning.
