The Alpha’s Broken Vow

The night of uniting the two rival packs didn’t happen. I stood at the altar, waiting for my mate, Alpha Talon Night. The hours passed, but he never appeared. As the crowd began to murmur and disperse, I reached out to Talon through the mind link. Still, I couldn’t get in. The eyes of the pack burned into me, whispering behind my back about how Nightclaw’s Alpha humiliated me and my pack.

My mother, fragile from the pain of being mateless, had held on just to witness my union. But when Talon didn’t arrive, the heartbreak was too much. She passed away that very night.
