“BANG!!! The church doors flew open. I turned with a smile I didn't understand yet, telling myself Rowan was late because traffic existed and fate couldn't be cruel enough to ruin today. My heart was already racing, already uneasy, because I wasn't supposed to be standing alone at the altar. An Alpha waits for his mate, not the other way around. Yet there I was, gripping my bouquet, praying my instincts were wrong. They weren't. Rowan stood there. My Alpha. And beside him... Amelia. My sister. Perfect Amelia,The pro pack leader. The daughter my parents praised. The one who was always chosen. While I was always kept aside. The whispers exploded as the Cameras flashed. Paparazzi surged forward as My humiliation went live in seconds And now he was standing with the sister who was always way better than me. I stood frozen in my wedding dress while the world watched me break. Amelia's hand in Rowan as My heart screaming while my pride shattered. I had waited at the aisle for a man who had already chosen someone else. I ran from the church as cameras chasing me, my name becoming the scandal of the city. That was the day I learned love could humiliate you louder than hate ever could. That night, I walked into a VIP section in the cinemas with nothing left but anger and dignity barely holding on. That was where I met him Leo Wagwan, Rowan's arch nemesis. The man who made millions betting against Rowan's empire in the pack stock market.We spoke only once about one thing. A deal for a deal. Never again would I wait at an altar for someone who didn't choose me. Never again would I be the sister left behind, the mate rejected, the daughter ignored. They broke me in front of the world. Now they will watch me rise.”
