Destinee POV.Staring up at the woman in front of me, I’m scared out of wits. She was in her mid-40’s; she had blonde hair in a messy bun on top her head. Her eyes were brown. She was a wolf.“Well? Why are you here? Where is your pack?” she tilted her head and let out an exasperated sigh.“Tell her Destinee, she won’t harm us.” I sigh, becoming uncomfortable under this woman’s gaze. Gulping, I looked up at her and I saw her eyes flash to black, my eyebrows furrowed. I took a shaky breath. “I rejected my pack yesterday.” Her face becomes softer, and I can see sympathy in her eyes. “That explains the pack smell on you. I mean you no harm, little Alpha, but we need to leave this area.” Looking at her in confusion, she thrust her hand at me. “Unless you want to become a plaything for the rogues we get passing through here?” gulping, I took her hand as she pulled me to my feet. “I’m Destinee.” I told her she smiled at me and gave me a stiff nod.“Come on, Destinee, we need to get you in

Destinee POV. Looking at the woman I once called Mom, I felt nothing but hatred for what she allowed to happen to me. She looked dishevelled, her usual perfectly styled brown hair was in a tangled mess on top of her head. Her blue eyes were red and puffy from crying. The clothes are wrinkled no doubt she shifted and grabbed whatever was at hand. “Angelica, what do you want?” she winced at the use of her name from her own daughter, a daughter she didn’t protect. “Please Destinee, I am sorry for what happened. I tried to stop him on many occasions, but he didn’t listen to me. Please, my darling, come home.” Tears brimmed her eyes as she tried to reach for my hand. I took a step back and a warning growl rumbled in my throat. “Destinee, there are humans here. Let’s talk outside.” Sadia spoke in my ear. I knew she was right. No point in getting into a fight and being discovered. Humans don’t know of our existents. I glanced at her and gave a stiff nod. Pushing past the woman who was m

Destinee POV.I woke up bright and early, eager to start my new job as a bar manager. Pulling my happy ass up and out of bed, I stretched and greeted the morning. “Morning Aura, are we ready to start our new job?” She stretched in my mind and yawned. I giggled at her laziness.“Well, someone is ready to conquer the world, but first we need coffee and lots of it. It should be a crime for someone to be this cheerful in the mornings.” Aura all but huffed in my head. She is not a morning wolf. She would prefer to sleep. Lazy wolf.“I heard that.” She growled out, and I chuckled at her reaction. I entered the bathroom and got the shock of my life when I looked into the mirror. “Aura, what is going on?” I asked, looking at myself. Overnight I had filled out slightly. My eyes sparkle and look alive and brighter. My hair glowed with regained lustre, volume, and vitality.She giggled in my head, “silly human, you look gorgeous. My healing abilities don’t just heal open wounds, I have healed y

Titus POV.It had been six months since I lost Destinee and there had been no sightings of her. I woke up with my new girlfriend at my side, Crystal Delaney. She was the daughter of a Beta from another pack. Orion had been telling me he will never accept this female and me relieving my tension by using her body was in fact wrong. I scoffed; it wasn’t as if Destinee would feel the pain of betrayal. We may be fated mates, but she doesn’t wear my mark, so she would be fine. Or so I thought.“Morning, Titus,” Crystal said as she woke up. I smiled at her, but the smile didn’t reach my eyes. Call me selfish, but Crystal is only a means to an end, and she knew this.“Morning Crystal,” I replied. Orion growled in my head. It enraged him and understandably so. It should Destinee we wake up to not Crystal. I know I sound like a pig, but men have needs and besides, it’s not like I’m cheating on anyone.I pulled the quilt away and stood in all my naked glory. Stretching, I moved to the bathroom f

Destinee POV.Nightmares were never an issue until a week ago. It has been two years since I rejected my pack and it has been eighteen months since I felt the pain of betrayal, well that was until a week ago. My mate was engaged in sexual activity with another. Aura wasn’t impressed and since the first waves of the betrayal, she has become savage. She is ruthless when she is in control, and it’s frightening. She has told me that the pain of betrayal can turn wolves feral and she is no exception to that rule. If anything, the fact that she is the Moon Goddess in wolf form makes it worse. The mate bond is supposed to be sacred, not something to be betrayed, yet here we are.“Destinee, are you ok?” she whimpered in my head of the memories that have plagued me for the past week.“No, Aura I’m not. Our family and mate should have treated us properly. I can’t keep doing this, Aura. Can we not break the bond? There has to be a way.” I try to fight the tears of the memories in my head of the
