His Rejected Mate, The Rival Alpha's Gamma

My five-year contract as his placeholder Luna ended when he left me bleeding in his car to comfort the woman who attacked me.

He publicly announced my abandonment through the pack's mind-link, then stormed back to the house to accuse me of stealing a priceless necklace from her.

He felt the fated mate bond spark between us, called it a cheap trick, and threw me in a silver-lined cell when the necklace was "found" in my bag.

My mother had to trade the last relic of our fallen pack just for my freedom, and we were exiled with nothing.
