I'm Savannah. After winning the silver medal at the Werewolf Dance championship, I felt a mix of pride and relief. My instructor thought I could've won gold if not for my past pregnancy, but I was still happy with my achievement. Stepping off the flight, I was greeted by Mark, whose bouquet carried a fresh, lovely scent. I owed him big for exposing Quinn's cheating. When Harrison showed up at the airport, I ignored him completely. He'd lost the right to be in my life after all he'd done. At my apartment, Quinn and my parents tried to cause trouble, but I showed them the document cutting our ties. Mark stood up for me, calling the enforcers. Later, when they tried to smear me online, Mark came to my rescue again with old photos and videos. In the end, the Whitmores became outcasts. And on my bonding day with Mark, I saw Harrison lurking in the shadows, broken. I'd finally found someone who truly cared about me, my real protector under the full moon.

Chapter 1 Chapter 1

When I was seven moons pregnant with my first pup, my sister Quinn Whitmore got mauled by a Dark Moon Wolf during a hunting run. The pack healer said only my "Lunar Blessing Blood" could save her-turns out, my wolf lineage carried a rare gene. But I was drowning in morning sickness that left me puking wolfsbane tea, too weak to stand, my belly swollen like a full moon but my wolf core flickering dim.

My family didn't give a damn. They dragged me to the Lifeblood Altar, my swollen stomach bumping against stone steps. I howled for my mate, Harrison Sinclair, but he just stood there, s brows knitted.

"You're a strong she-wolf, Savannah. A little blood won't kill you. Quinn's different-she's marked by the Moon Goddess. We can't let the pack's future seer die."

After the transfusion, my vision went black.

"Savannah, you're really gonna abort the pup? You know Harrison's wolf core is damaged-this might be his only shot at siring an heir. Once the Moon Goddess' blessing is gone, it's gone for good!"

The pack healer shoved Harrison's cracked moonstone medical amulet in my face. "Your pregnancy's a miracle-. Are you sure-"

"I'm sure." My voice didn't waver. If no one else cared about this pup, why risk my life to bring it into a world where Harrison's "sister" was his real mate?

I howled for the abortion witch and limped back to Harrison's villa. He stepped out of the kitchen. One glance at my pale face and trembling hands.

"There's venison soup in the cauldron. Drink it-you lost too much Lunar Blood today."

I blurted, "Where are you going?"

Harrison's face contorted.

"To the Moonlight Infirmary-where else? Quinn's blood is still thinning; she needs someone to guard her gland."

He shot me a look of disgus.

"All you had to do was donate a vial of your Blood, and you turned it into a pack-wide drama. I thought you wolves were taught to value bonds-guess your heart's as cold as the Winter Howl."

I bit my lip until it bled.

"Heartless? Me?" I snarled, my wolf core throbbing. "Who am I saving this Lunar Blood for, Harrison? If I wasn't carrying your pup, d'you think I'd refuse?"

The word "pup" set him off

He lunged forward, reeking of rank disgust.

"Still using the pup as an excuse? It's just a vial of Lunar Blood, Savannah-not your life! You think you're too precious to spare it? You really believe the pup's at risk?"

I gaped at my mate, voice trembling.

"Do you even know I haven't kept down a single potion in six moons? Or why I passed out in that Lifeblood Altar?"

A flicker of guilt passed through his eyes, but it was gone in a second, swallowed by anger. He grabbed my chin so hard it hurt, his fingers digging in.

"Oh, so pregnancy's got you acting up? If you hadn't insisted I drive you to those baby checkups, Quinn wouldn't have been in that crash! This is all your fault!"

My chin throbbed, already bruising.

That's when it hit me-he blamed me for everything.

In his eyes, I owed Quinn something.

But I was his mate, carrying his pup, and he'd rather take Quinn shopping than go with me to a healer's appointment.

I let out a bitter laugh, which only made him madder. He saw it as a challenge. His hand flew up, and before I knew it, he'd slapped me across the face, his expression dripping with contempt.

"You put Quinn in the hospital, and you've got the nerve to laugh? I didn't realize you were this vicious, Savannah. You make me sick."

With that, he stormed out of the villa.

I stood there, slowly raising a hand to wipe the blood trickling from my split lip. It didn't matter. Soon enough, he'd know what a broken heart felt like.

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What's worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn't thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn't seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he's different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
