The Alpha's Mistake

It was the night of the full moon, and my mating ceremony had finally arrived. I stood in the altar, prepared to meet my groom and my Alpha, Trent Ford.

But as the hours ticked by, that joy turned to dread. I called Alpha through the mind-link but it was silent. Some of the guests from the pack and the neighboring packs began whispering, the others left. I became a fool in front of them.

My mother had always been fragile, especially with her heart's curse for being mateless. Despite exhaustion, she had always wanted to see me start a new life with the man I loved.
