The Heartless Alpha’s Beloved Luna

Avery watched her boyfriend Ryan cheating with her half sister Zara right in front of her eyes on the Mating Day, the day she was meant to be claimed by Ryan as his chosen mate. The worse thing is that Ryan and Zara had the right to do so, because they just found out they were fated mates. Heartbroken, Avery fleed into the forest, only to fell into the arms of a dangerous stranger whose scent triggered her mating heat. Avery believed he was a rogue, so she just wanted one night of forbidden passion in the dark and ran away the next morning without even knowing what he looked like exactly. However, after she got home, she panicked as she found out she was marked by that stranger... Avery's father threatened to kill her if she couldn't secure a husband who could accept her. Just when Avery thought no one would want a marked girl, Alpha Gideon choose her as his bride, and something about him just seemed familiar....

Avery's POV

I had agreed to sleep with my boyfriend Ryan for the first time tonight, on our first Mating Day.

When I flung the door to his room open, I saw him looking all sexy and naked like I imagined.

But with another woman on top of him.

My younger half sister, Zara.

"What the-" I froze in his doorway.

Zara was straddling Ryan, facing me. When she spotted me, she smirked and moaned, dipping her head to nip at Ryan's neck.

"Oh yes. Just like that!" she said, breathing in his ear. Ryan grunted and lifted her up to roll over on top of her.

My stomach flipped. I felt like I was going to throw up.

Then Ryan noticed me and froze. "Avery," he breathed.

Guilt flushed across his face, but his hands didn't leave Zara's hips. The room was silent for a moment.

"Zara and I just found out we were fated mates," Ryan's words hammered into my heart.

Fated Mate.

On Mating Days, werewolves over 19 could smell and recognize their fated mates.

The attraction between fated mates is irresistible. They can trigger each other into heat just from smelling each other at a distance. Once fated mates find each other, they will mate and mark each other, forming a resilient bond of intertwined attraction that lasts their whole lives.

The only way to resist a fated mate was to mark a chosen mate before you met your fated one. That's what Ryan and I wanted to do tonight on our first Mating Day.

I knew I would never get a fated mate because my wolf seemed dormant. When everyone started to shift into their wolf form and communicate with their wolf, I got nothing.

I could feel my wolf there back in my mind, though. No one believed what I said, so it became a joke amongst my bullies, especially from my sister Zara's little group.

"Wolfless freak."

"Pathetic human liar."

They would say
