"I understand that you don't wish for our mating bond, Zander, Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack," I interrupted, summoning courage I hadn't felt since before the tragedy struck my life. His eyes widened in shock as he gaped at me, a flash of anger evident in their depths. I braced myself for the consequences, determined to put an end to this once and for all. "I, Avy Grace, daughter of Jacob Grace, hereby reject you as my mate," I declared firmly. "Please, let me explain first," I nodded, acknowledging his authoritative tone. "I won't accept your rejection, and I definitely won't back down, Avy Grace," Zander insisted, his determination clear. --- Avy Grace was originally a respected third-commander's daughter within her pack, a peaceful wolf. However, her world turned upside down following a mysterious rogue attack that claimed her parents' lives, plunging her into a living nightmare. Zander Black, poised to become the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, had harbored resentment towards wolves since his youth, viewing them as threats, especially those like Avy, who he relentlessly tormented in memory of his mother's passing. What fate awaited them when the Moon Goddess intervened, decreeing their mating bond? Only time would tell in this tale of destiny and conflict.
