“Reject him! Submit to me! Be my mate,and I'll put an end to this war immediately," he commanded, his words resonating and enveloping the room in electrifying uncertainty.
Caught off guard by this abrupt ultimatum, I found myself rendered speechless. The gravity of the situation silenced me, robbing me of the words I so desperately needed to speak. Vulnerability gripped me as I struggled to find my voice, my heart pounding viciously within my chest.
“I cannot unless we sign the Treaty to ensure the security of our pack.” I stated.
“Okay. The Treaty will be signed only if you reject him now.”
Quelling the turmoil within me, I summoned the strength to utter the words that would alter the course of my life.
“I, Evelyn Green, the Beta's daughter from the MoonCrest Pack, hereby reject my fated mate, Gregory Blackwood, the future Alpha of the MoonCrest Pack. Instead, I submit to Alpha Adrian Lucius as my mate.”
Evelyn had eagerly anticipated her eighteenth birthday to shift for the first time and claim her fated mate, her beloved Gregory, the son of the Alpha and Luna of the MoonCrest Pack. He was scheduled to return from Alpha training that late afteroon. However, fate took an unexpected turn when MoonCrest was suddenly attacked by the rival Knightsmoor pack.
Faced with the choice of accepting a contracted bond with an evil alpha to become his chosen mate or witnessing the annihilation of her pack before her eyes, Evelyn had no option but to accept Alpha Adrian as her chosen mate. What would you do when love demands the sacrifice of love itself?
