“For eight years, I was the secret mate of Xavier, the most powerful Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. Because of my low-ranking Omega blood, he refused to mark me or make me his Luna. One freezing winter night, my disabled father traveled miles to bring me rare herbs. But Xavier forced him to stand in the biting wind for eight hours. The reason? He claimed my father's sour scent would disturb his Beta secretary, Sylvia. When I demanded an explanation, Xavier just swirled his whiskey and threw a limitless credit card at my father's face. He shielded Sylvia behind his broad shoulders, roaring that my family's filthy stench was polluting his pristine territory. He thought I was just throwing a childish tantrum to get his attention. He completely forgot that when I miscarried our unborn pup in a pool of blood, he was out attending a dinner party with that very same Beta. For eight years, I endured his volatile temper, waiting in a cold bed while he paraded his secretary around the city. I looked at the man I had loved with all my soul, and felt nothing but cold ash. Why should I remain his invisible, disposable shadow while my own flesh and blood was treated like a stray dog? That night, I packed my bags, took my father, and left his estate forever. As my dormant White Wolf bloodline finally awakened, I picked up my phone and pressed send. "I, Serena, reject you, Xavier, as my mate."”
