The full moon hung above the Black claw pack where everything thing changes. The entire pack gathered to witness what was meant to be the happiest night of my life.
My Awakening.
My heart was pounding,feet cold , hand was trembling as I stood at the center of the pack , tonight I was choosing my fated mate to finally belong.
"Maria Mooncrest," the elder called
I stepped forward.
The air shifted.
I felt it, the sharp and invisible pull the longing the obsession was undeniable .My mate was here.
My eyes Lifted and looked onto Alpha Marcus.
But his face was hardened
"Do you take Maria Mooncrest as your fated mate"? the elder asked.
"No", he said coldly.
His word sliced through me.
"I, Marcus Blackclaw," his voice carrying across the courtyard, "Reject Maria Mooncrest as my fated mate and also the future Luna."
Immediately the bond snapped.
Gasped echoed around us, as a sharp pain filled my chest as if a claw tearing my heart as my feet buckled, tears rolling down my chin ,the mate bond was shattered like glass burning through my veins.
He repeated "I reject you" his eyes was filled with disgust"you are too weak for me he shouted". I don't need an omega who is unfit to stand beside me.
"You don't even have your wolf weakling" He said.
"I Alpha Marcus needs a Mate who is strong to stand by my side and not a fool who can't even wolf.
Laughter and whispers followed as I buried my face in shame.
Leave he ordered". "Before sunrise "
That night, I left my pack with nothing but a broken heart.
I ran towards a dark forest unaware that it's belongs to the lycan king far more powerful than the Alpha.
