As I strolled through the hallway, wearing my wedding gown, I overheard a shocking scene - my fiancé, Christopher Lee Parker, with another person. He was supposed to consummate our bond on our special night, but instead, I found him pushing an Omega to the ground. Fueled by anger, my inner wolf emerged, roaring with indignation.
"I reject you, Beta! I, Dahlia Selene Knight, reject you, Christopher Lee Parker. You are utterly despicable!" The connection between us snapped, and as he tried to grab me, I spun around, swatting away his grasp. My heart heavy, I dashed down the hallway and out into the woods, tears streaming down my face.
Suddenly, I collided with something solid, not realizing it was a person at first. Strong arms caught me mid-fall, halting my momentum. Looking up, I met the most mesmerizing honey-colored gaze I had ever seen – Alpha Damien Allister Diaz, from our rival pack. Renowned for his ruthless reputation, Damien had lost his mate and child five years ago, turning him into a feared figure in wolf folklore.
"What brings you here, little one? And are you indeed the intended bride for Beta Parker?" he asked, his voice a mixture of curiosity and speculation.
