Nora Jackson got married through an arranged marriage. During the 3 years, she did her part as a good wife but then this didn’t soften her husband’s cold heart. The man never looked at her differently. Daniel Wilson was only interested in what her body could offer him. According to him, Nora was good in bed, she was just irresistible. She could satisfy his wildest fantasies but he couldn’t allow himself to fall in love with her. Nora patiently waited for him until the worst happened. His childhood sweet heart came back and everything didn’t make sense any more. The day she caught him in his lover’s house while she was practically naked, Nora decided that she was done with him. She gave up on their marriage and gave him the divorce papers. When Nora saw the disbelief in his cold eyes, she said” You were forced to marry me but I have realized that you will never love me. This is your chance to get rid of me and be with the love of your life” “Alright let us get divorced” he agreed arrogantly. Daniel later discovered her secret identity that she was the mysterious cardiologist that he has been searching for the last 3 years. He couldn’t help but ask” Nora, how can I repay you? At least let me make it up to you by remarrying you” he continued talking nonsense but Nora wasn’t interested, she was past this. “I have no interest in marrying a person like you, aren’t you supposed to be getting married to the woman you love?” “I can cancel the wedding for your sake”

"You can't hide forever. Sooner or later you're going to have to face what you feel for us.” We were standing so close I could feel his breath on my face and my heart raced at his words. "I don't feel anything for you!” I snapped angrily, pulling my wrist from his grasp. "Give in to us, Mallory. The longer you resist, the harder it will be for you when the inevitable happens. And we are inevitable.” I shivered at his closeness and my argument died on my lips. Mallory Edwards was just an Omega, something the Black Moon Alpha triplets reminded her of everyday, never missing a chance to taunt or torment her.

I never met my real father. Living in a small werewolf community, there were always rumors. But I never really paid much attention. I only listened to what my mother said about him and she never talking about him. So I assumed that it was something painful and I accepted that and left it alone. Being a single teenage mother, she was shunned by the rest of the pack but she wasn't sent out to be Rogue. She managed to finish school, go to college and become a Doctor. She is one of the most highly respected professions but they still treat us like vermin. So when I started getting in numerous fights at school my mother decided it was time to pack up and leave. Go to a new pack and start fresh. And that's where my story begins.
