In a werewolf country cursed to be forever cold, Evadne wished under the full moon for many years to find her mate and escape from her hell of a home where her father, Alpha Marcus of the Moonflame Pack, and Elodie, Evadne's sister, constantly made sure her day won't end without her being bullied or beaten by them. When she finally turned eighteen years old, Evadne find her mate, Alpha Gregor of the Fireheart Pack. She promised him that she would be the best mate and Luna for him. However, Elodie reveals he's her fiance and boyfriend and begs the Alpha to ruthlessly reject her in front of the whole Moonflame Pack at Evadne's very own birthday party. Evadne's heart became even more shattered when her father banished her and ordered her to never return to their lives when she humiliated his favorite daughter, Elodie, on that same night. Alone, she was imprisoned in the dungeons of a pack that thought she was a Rogue-when it was attacked by the Alpha King's forces since the said pack was the only remaining one who refused to bow down to him. As she tried to escape the ensuing chaos, she met him, and never had she thought that the Moon Goddess would let her second-chance mate be Alpha King Kallias himself-the cause of the eternal winter and now the most feared Alpha.
"You crazy bitch-how dare you do that to an Alpha's daughter?!" Elodie whined as she stood up and straightened her dress. She made sure everyone heard her.
I held my chin high. "You may be the Alpha's favorite daughter but I'm an Alpha's daughter nonetheless-even when that said Alpha also despises me." I threw my father a knowing glance. He narrowed his eyes at me.
"ENOUGH!" A voice that rattled the glasses entered our arising drama.
I almost forgot the fact that wherever Elodie is, Alpha Gregor is always there. Of course, he'll be in the Alpha ball; he's the Alpha of the Fireheart Pack, not to mention he's Elodie's fiancé.
"Oh hi, Alpha Gregor. Or should I say, good evening to you 'my mate who rejected me'." I fluttered my eyelashes at him and paired it with a sickly sweet smile.
"You've been stalking me, aren't you?" The Alpha clicked his tongue and crossed his arms. "That's why you're here, Evadne. You're obsessed with me. The likes of you never understand that no one in this world wants you."
I narrowed my eyes at his accusation. He only devilishly grinned and ran a hand on his hair.
"You're free to throw whatever insult at me, Greg. I don't care." I sneered, "I no longer even think of you nor the fact that you still exist."
"Whatever you do, you'll never have me back." He said with unabashed pride.
"And why would I want spoiled goods returned to me?" I countered, flipping my unbound hair. Elodie and Alpha Marcus of the Moonflame Pack, my father, growled behind me in warning. "I'm stronger now, Alpha Gregor. Why would I want the prince when I can have the king?"
His mouth quirked to the side, ignoring the truth I just hurled at him. "Only Elodie is strong enough to be my Luna, Eva. She's always the stronger and you're always the one to be easily crushed."
Elodie and Alpha Marcus giggled behind me, lifting their wine glasses in cheers. Everybody now stopped to stare and watch us. Even the heavenly music ceased and is now replaced with the guests' intense gaze.
This year's Alpha Winter Ball is going to be much more...entertaining.
"If what you say is true, then why not try crushing me here and now?" I challenged him. "Surely the Alphas and Lunas won't mind being entertained by your fragile hands tonight, Alpha Gregor." I gestured to the people around us.
Wicked delight gleamed in those green eyes as if he had always hoped this moment would come-the time when he could show how embarrassed he was to have me as a mate. Or former mate, for that matter. To show everyone why he rejected me and he deserved someone stronger.
Well, I'm no longer the weak and battered Evadne. I now belong to the Alpha King even-if our hearts refused to cooperate.
"Fine, bitch. Just don't come crying at me again to save you." Then Alpha Gregor lunged for me with his signature attack but I, as being trained by the Alpha King's pack...he didn't expect that I was faster than him now.
My hands wrapped on his wrist. His eyes widened at my speed. I didn't waste any time and snapped it once.
He yelled in pain as soon as the sound of his bones crunching reverberated. I stomped on his foot and smashed his toe without remorse.
"Who's the one easily crushed now?" I let my sarcastic tone echo deep in his bones. "Your unfaithfulness deserves to be rewarded. But don't worry, I'll let you walk out of this Alpha Winter Ball with enough bones to bury on your grave."
My former mate threw a punch using his other unbroken hand. It hit my shoulder. I stumbled backward for a heartbeat and stifled a cry of pain. In retaliation, I attacked his groin with a mighty kick and it sent him on the ground a few feet from where I was, holding on to the thing between his legs.
It seems he won't be able to use that favorite part of his for a few days.
I smirked. Everyone murmured and whispered at my much more powerful aura now. I was exuding predatorial grace with ease just like Alpha Kallias.
I glanced behind me and Elodie and Marcus were only watching me intently as if gathering their strength and waiting for the right time to come and meet my fist.
"You're doing great," Mara praised.
Alpha Gregor chuckled. The bastard still stands. "Is that all you can brag? You must really be upset that I rejected you in front of the whole Moonflame Pack that you beat the shit out of me now in front of an audience."
"Maybe I should thank you, Alpha Gregor," I cooed. "If you did not reject me, I'll never meet my second-chance mate, which by the way, is stronger and more powerful than any of you."
The eyes of the Alphas and Lunas widened. "Only the Alpha King is more powerful than any of us," said one of them, confusion evident on his face.
I tilted my head to the side. "Oh? Why, thank you for realizing that he is more powerful than any of you."
Alpha Gregor wiped his tears with the back of his hand. He's fucking crying, and I could've rolled on the ground laughing if he didn't shot right to his feet, eager to strike at me again-
A shattering growl, like a thunder heralding its presence amid a winter storm, splintered the silence.
He always likes dramatic entrances. It was the same growl from that night when he saved me from the pack who chained me to the wall for being a Rogue.
"It's the Alpha King!" one of the Alphas exclaimed. His face was alarmed by the King's sudden arrival.
Alpha King Kallias was in his signature silver and blue tuxedo. His hair was smoothened and combed appropriately as if the trace of Elise's fingers earlier while kissing him had vanished.
One second, Alpha King Kallias was standing ten paces from mine. The next, his hand was now around Alpha Gregor's neck and the poor Alpha didn't even have time to draw breath as he began choking.
"She is mine," Alpha Kallias growled. "SHE IS MINE!" My mate announced to all of them.
My second-chance mate threw a knowing glance in my direction. I returned it with a blush and bit my lower lip. "Thank you," I mouthed the words voicelessly even though I knew he would never reciprocate my feelings.
“Where are you taking me?” I whimpered as the huge wolf carried me on his shoulders. After a couple of minutes, he put me down. Before I could blink, the huge white wolf shifted before me. The man who now stood in its place was handsome, muscular… and completely naked. * * * Elaine Rutherford has spent her entire life wishing for an escape from her dysfunctional family.
