“I, Rhys Blackford, reject you, Felza Blackford, as my chosen mate.” His words felt like sharp blades slicing through my body, and I couldn't seem to stop those knives or the words from penetrating me. “Rhy…Rhys! Don't do this,” I croaked out shamelessly, even after catching him with his destined mate. I know this all seems confusing, but yeah, I caught my mate and husband with his destined mate in our bedroom, and he chose the cowardly way of punishing me for his sins by rejecting me. “We vowed to never hurt each other, Rhys! Even if we meet our destined mates,” I reminded him, standing up straight and looking into his eyes. “It was before meeting her, but now that I know the feeling of a real mate bond, I don't want you anymore,” he threw the words carelessly with indifference. I know the Moon goddess paired mates to have a symphony in packs, but sometimes bonds and destiny didn't stand a chance in front of true love and soulmates. But now I know it's bullshit because the so-called true love and soulmate kicked me to the ground and ruined me.

Regret for not marrying my fated mate, but rather marrying my chosen mate.We don't have any other option than me sacrificing my mate and my happiness for our pack, and I will happily do anything and everything for my pack.“I'm so sorry that we are putting you in this tough situation, honey. If it is in our hands, we will never let you sacrifice yourself,” my sweet mother put her hands on my shoulders, hugging me from behind while I was sitting on the stool like a happy bride, but I was not.“Why is he so cruel, Mom? Doesn't he know what mates are and what mate bonds are? Why did he choose me?” I asked, still in shock from the way my life had turned upside down.“I don't know, darling. Rumors say he doesn't have a heart and is ruthless, but I hope the moon goddess always protects you from his wrath,” her voice trembled, but she is staying strong for me, but everyone knows what my life is going to be like.Rhys Blackwood may not look like a literal monster, but he is a monster who is snatching me away from my pack and the mate who may come and whisk me away if I don't get married to him, but he does not let me have that moment.We need his protection and help from the rogues who are going to ambush my pack and kill everyone, but as ruthless as he is named, he proved that by putting the condition of marrying me.“I hope so too, Mom,” I whispered, feeling helpless and heartbroken, but at the same time, a relieved sigh escaped me at the thought that my pack was safe from those dirty mutts, even if I had to bleed for the rest of my life.“Wow! You look so beautiful,” a feminine voice sounded behind us, startling both of us. When I turned around, a very striking and beautiful she-wolf was standing at the door with her eyes shining with admiration and a big grin on her pink lips.“Um! Thank you,” I said, a genuine smile replacing my scowl.“I am Vanessa, the female beta of the pack and Miles's mate,” she introduced herself with a proud glint in her eyes, making the jealous monster rear its head inside me.Her Alpha snatched away my only chance at getting my mate. I shook my head to clear it as it was no one's fault but the man himself who was going to be my husband and chosen mate.“Come, let's go. Everyone is waiting for you,” she forwarded her hand, waiting for me to take it, but the anxiety and dread I had felt since I heard about this marriage had increased tenfold, and my body was alert in flight or fight mode.My mom nudged my shoulder slightly, pulling me from my dilemma, and I took Vanessa's hand with a small smile.If she had seen my discomfort and sadness, she wouldn't let me know.Three of us walked towards the doors and exited into the long hallway, which was empty and cold.I'm getting married in an old church, which is located outside our pack. It screams old ghosts and vintage. I don't exactly know in which year it was built, but it's so old that it creeps me out.We slowly walked to the end of the hallway where my father was waiting for me. His eyes seem sad and filled with regret.I am the literal daddy's princess, and it's killing him to give me away to someone who is not my mate. He first rejected Alpha Rhys’s proposal and told him to never step foot in our pack, but I pleaded and begged him to think about our pack and made him agree to this wedding.“You look beautiful, Princess!” He took my hand from Vanessa's and held it tighter like he didn't want to let go and wanted to hide me away.“Thanks, Papa,” I gave him my brightest smile, but he could clearly see it was my fakest smile.“There is still time, Felza. I can send you to my sister's pack, and I can still find some solution to our situation.” If we defy Alpha Rhys on the wedding day in front of the guests, then he will find me and hang me or will do worse than that.“No, Papa! He will find me no matter what, and I don't want to risk anyone. Please let me do this,” I pleaded, knowing this was the only option we had because we were surrounded by every way, and we didn't have any other choice than to take Rhys’s proposal and his help.“Your attraction towards him is a bonus point,” my Wolf scoffed in my head, and I could feel her anger and resentment towards me.She is not at all happy or agreed to this arrangement, but she knows too that we need to do this in order to save our pack and our people. She is so protective over our loved ones.I didn't acknowledge her taunt and just moved along with my father. We came to a halt at the large double doors, and my heart started picking up its beats rapidly, leaving me breathless. I can feel the sweat gliding down my back, and my feet cold.The doors opened abruptly, making me jump in fright, but the hold of my father on me stopped me from face-planting in front of everyone.“It's okay, I got you,” my father whispered, patting my hand and increasing his hold on me.“Thanks, Dad!” I blinked back the tears threatening to spill through my eyes. I don't want to show weakness; I want to show how strong I am.He guided me forward, and a slow song was playing in the background. I haven't looked around me yet. My eyes are unfocused, and my heart is aching so terribly.With each step, my heart broke, and the dreams I had had with my mate shattered down my heels.I slowly focused my eyes at the end of the long aisle, and my stupid heart stopped, and my breath stuck in my throat.I shouldn't be having this effect at the sight of him, but I can't stop the reaction; it just comes naturally because standing at the altar is the most beautiful man I have ever seen, but his cold eyes! His cold eyes show his inner ugliness and a cold-hearted man.He is towering over everyone in his six-foot-seven inches, his raven slicked back, his dark eyes raking all over my body, and his sharp jaw clenched showing his high cheekbones and plump lips.Like a devil, he is wearing head-to-toe black.Everything faded around me. My wolf is also so silent that I thought she was not at all with me.My father walked through the aisle, and we came to a halt at the altar, in front of the man who easily snatched away my dreams of a mate and a happily ever after.His cruel smirk made me clench my jaw and palms so hard with anger and hate.If he thinks he has won, then I'm going to show him how much of an insanity he has brought upon himself.I matched his cruel smirk, to which his eyes narrowed, but he took my hand, which my father was giving to him.Let the game begin.FELZA’s POVAxel had a mate? He met his mate? I still couldn't get that revelation off my head as I fought some rouges. Axel had surprised me greatly; coming to fight for my pack even when we humiliated him was a great sign of strength. A rouge charged towards me, his teeth bared, as he tried to slash his sword through my neck. I ducked and cut off his legs instead. He screamed out loud and I chuckled at how beautiful that sounded. Earlier, I couldn't handle the picture of Rhys getting tortured that way. I'd killed Lisa in the blink of an eye, and I was quite surprised I felt satisfied by it. I ran towards Rhys to give him a helping hand, “You need to rest.” “Not when I have the chance to finish this up forever.” He smiled, slashing the rouge's throat. At the same time, our gaze landed on Sebastian who was guarded with a few rouges. In just a few minutes, thousands of rouges lay dead on the ground, and I even sighted a few of Rhys' pack warriors. Axel must have freed them from the
RHYS’ POVI thought I'd experienced pain several times, but nothing could be compared to what I felt now. Sebastian had chained Felza to a chair, forcing her to watch me get tortured. In the same position, my hands were chained to the ceiling, while my legs dangled freely like I was about to get executed. Even though I couldn't see them, about two rouges continued slashing my back with a leather whip with thorns, while Lisa focused on piercing my nails with needles, serving me exactly what my men had done to her. Another slash on my back and I wondered if I could really take this anymore. “Leave him alone, please.” Felza whimpered, crying out loud, as she trembled in the chair. She'd tried closing her eyes, but each time she heard me groan, her eyes fluttered open as tears spilled down her cheeks. I'd pressed my lips together, swallowing down my groans, but when Lisa pierced my thumb, a loud groan escaped my lips, “When are you going to stop, huh?” I whispered breathlessly, closing
AXEL’S POVActing on Chris' words might as well be the most stupid thing I'd ever done. Alright, alright, his idea was the best thing that's ever happened to me. I held a banquet, the most talked about in my pack and I found a woman, a stark contrast to Felza, but she enchanted me almost immediately—my mate. I was struck by her beauty, her elegance and her kind heart. Within the last few weeks, our bond grew, and I kept thanking the moon goddess for making me find her. Every night we prepared dinner together and talked about our whole day while having our meal filled with love. Diana made sure she painted my world with beautiful colors, her smile, her laughter and her encouraging words. In just a few weeks, my life changed in ways I couldn't imagine. My aggressive nature was all gone and I couldn't thank Chris more for his perfect and slightly insane idea. “Let's serve dinner since Chris is coming over with his girlfriend.” Diana's voice settled in my ears and I smiled, turning to
LISA’S POVThe plan went extremely well. Better than I could have ever imagined. While the whole pack was asleep, hundreds of rouges—which I lead, infiltrated the Bluemoon pack. We killed a few pack warriors and kept the others chained in the dungeon, and that was just the beginning of their nightmare. Rhys had no idea what's gotten to him when he saw me. He looked shocked, perhaps by my sword dripping with blood, or with the fact that I was back to take what truly belonged to me. A day like this was perfect, perhaps the most perfect day I'd had in a few years.It felt like being on a rollercoaster, listening to the screams of the same pack warriors who made my life miserable. Picking between Rhys and his family wasn't actually a problem. I knew my rouges would get them captured before they got any far and so, I spent my time with Rhys in the dungeon. I had him chained on the wall, his legs and hands set aside like he were hung on a cross. I picked up a dagger, my favorite dagger, a
FELZA’S POV“We shouldn't have left him behind.” I whispered, as we walked through the woods. We'd managed to leave the library, but I could still feel someone on our tail. I tightened my hold on Halo, as we made our way foward, “I wonder what they're going to do to him. We have to go ba—”“No!” Eric snapped, turning to face me. His brows were furrowed deeply as he said, “I care for the Alpha, but your safety matters as well. As soon as we get to Vanessa's, we'll think of a plan to get him out of there.” He seemed sincere, but there was a chilling glint in his eyes when he gazed at me. I swallowed hard and nodded, hoping the moon goddess would keep my husband safe. Halo tightened her hold around my neck, sniffing as a few drops of her tears caressed my skin, “would father be fine? We still have a memories to fill, to make. He's coming back right?” Unsure of the answer, I nodded slowly, “He will come back.” I assured Halo, or maybe I was assuring myself as well. We walked for a few mo
RHYS’ POV“Rouges” “Rouges” They were definitely behind Nora's death. Eric took slow strides towards me, “they must have used the secret entrance to sneak in at night.” And only Nora could have given them the exact spot of the secret entrance; it explained why Sebastian tortured her to death. I balled my hands into fists, anger surging through my veins. I weaved my hands through my hair, gritting out, “we have to kill them all.” “Or you have to get your family to safety. They're taking over the entire pack house. They've killed almost all our men. They infiltrated the pack at night. If we fight against them, we would lose our lives.” For the first time, I felt the urge to punch Eric in the face for being a coward. “You expect me to leave the pack house in ruins? Fleed just because I want to be safe?” “You have a daughter. She's only four; do you want her to live without a father?!” Eric yelled back, his eyes glistening with tears. He ran towards the door, locked it up and faced me
FELZA’S POVIn the last few days, I'd never seen Rhys in such a dejected shape. For hours he kept staring at Nora's room, perhaps wishing she would open up the door and jump in his arms—but she didn't. He did it continuously, walking across the hallway to come to a stop in front of her room. It's been a few days, but Rhys couldn't take the news of Nora's death. Even her parents. Vanessa had refused to bury her, hoping she would sneeze and yell “momma” Her body was still preserved, but Rhys stood on having her buried. He was meant to be at his morning meeting, but here he was, staring at Nora's door with longing in his eyes. It hurt me to see him that way, but I knew how much Nora meant to him. Even with the few moments my daughter and I spent here, I could tell he loved her as much as he loved Halo. Perhaps even more. I cleared my throat and placed my hand on his shoulder, “you should be having your meeting, Rhys.” “The pack is fine.” His hoarse voice rang out, clenching my heart. I
RHYS’ POV“This is for you.” I placed some meatball on Halo's plate, watching as her cheeks flushed red, “thanks, dad.” she smiled, slowly reaching for her fork to begin eating breakfast. Felza had volunteered to prepare breakfast for everyone today, stunning Vanessa for a few seconds. Her gaze lingered on Felza for a while, “I'm yet to have a taste, but I'm sure this would taste heavenly.” She commented, and Felza smiled brightly, “then I hope everyone enjoys it.” I picked up my fork, but I noticed the absence of my second daughter, Nora. Her space was vacant, and Vanessa seemed to be aware of it. I frowned slightly and flipped my attention to her, “where's Nora? It's unlike her to be late for breakfast.” I said, watching as Vanessa slowly placed a meatball in her mouth. She wiped her mouth and leaned backwards, “we had an episode last night. She still refused to tell me about her supposed mate.” “And?” “She's probably sulking, still upset from what happened last night.” She conti
LISA’S POVDragging witches to Sebastian's presence seemed to be my job today. Sebastian kept killing them to satisfy his bloodthirsty urge, snapping their necks just because they enraged him. I hate to admit it, but I felt some kind of pity for them. He was just about to kill another because she refused to speak to him. And when she did, Sebastian smiled brightly at the gem he'd just found. He walked around her, circling her like a desperate predator, “I've been capturing your kind for the last few years, but no one's ever given me the answer and the solution I truly desired. With you, I can tell that my victory is near.” he raised her chin to gaze into her eyes and she smirked, “Since it's nearly midnight, we should proceed now.” Her voice was soft, but the chilling glint in her eyes couldn't be compared to another. She was just like me, slightly different in her own ways. I leaned against the soft cushion and tapped my feets on the ground, watching the interaction between Sebasti
