I was at the pack gathering, moments away from signing the mate bond documents with Ronald.
A servant delivered a message, and Ronald left the venue immediately.
"I have urgent business to attend to. Today's ceremony is canceled."
He left me alone, forced to offer apologies to the powerful elders.
All because the woman he loved had accidentally injured her hand during training.
He sent a servant to relay a message to me.
"Miss, the Alpha says the signing will be postponed until tomorrow. Elizabeth Winters has injured her hand; it's urgent. He asks for your understanding."
Understanding?
I stood frozen in place, a bitter smile twisting my lips.
I'd lost count of how many times Ronald had abandoned me for Elizabeth.
This kind of thing had happened countless times before.
Each time, I would get angry, Ronald would placate me, and then it would be brushed aside.
But now, I couldn't even muster the energy to be angry anymore.
Ronald's sister looked at me with sympathy, offering comfort:
"Louisa, don't blame Ronald. I'll handle this for you…"
My expression turned cold as I refused:
"No need. This ceremony will proceed as scheduled."
Immediately, I contacted Will.
"Is our previous agreement still valid?" 
I used to believe love was enough. That being the perfect Luna, the perfect wife, would make my mate love me back.
I was wrong.

He’s gentle where Ryder was cruel, protective where Ryder was arrogant. He says we’re fated… and the bond between us only grows stronger every day.
But how can I love the brother of the man who destroyed me?

Today I had my first kiss. It wasn’t planned. It was also with a complete stranger. As I walked through the halls of my school, Higala Shifter Academy, I paused when a familiar sense washed over me. My boyfriend, Scott, was nearby, and he wasn’t alone. “You are so naughty, Scott,” the she-wolf Sarah chuckled. “Only for you, babe,” he replied, muffled as her lips closed around his. At that moment, I felt sick to my stomach. “Oh, Scott. Stop it. You know we can’t be seen together. What if your girlfriend finds us?” “She’s in class. She’s never late. You don’t need to worry.” My heart was heavy in my chest, but also a wave of fury and resentment crossed me.“Lila?” Scott breathed, staring at me in shock “What are you—” Before he could get the entire question out, I turned to the gentleman beside me, placing my hands on his shoulders and pulling him toward me. He went easily, though his eyes showed nothing but confusion. I closed my eyes tightly so I wouldn’t have to see his expression any longer. Then, our lips touched. Later, I walked into my class but found,It was him… The man I kissed only moments ago in the hallway. The man I had given my first kiss to, was my professor.

He scoffed. “A peasant, clearly.”It was a fragrance I knew… I knew it all too well, in fact. It can’t be, I thought to myself, swallowing as I slowly turned back to face the figure standing by the window. “Miss…” He turned, and the light from the room illuminated his features. As soon as he saw me, his eyes widened in recognition, his posture straightened, and his voice trembled just slightly as he continued. “... Miss Morgan. Good evening.”
