Prologue

I lay on the muddy forest floor, my limbs lax. I shook uncontrollably, trying to calm my wolf. Why did the Moon Goddess hate me so much? Why could never have something that I’ve always wanted according to my wish? Why? 

A sob escaped my lips, unbidden. Pre-monsoon showers had started, but I did not have the strength nor the desire to get up and run back to the pack house. What’s the use? Even if I take my last breath here, no one will care? Especially not my mate. 

I could feel the raindrops soaking my clothes, chilling my bones. I could hear the rumble of the clouds, but I didn’t want to leave. I drew my knees closer, curling up as my tears mingled with the rain. 

Fate had never been kind to me and it seems that it never will. The creature I hated the most, the one whose kin was responsible for my parents’ death, turned out to be my mate.
