Rejected By The Heir, Claimed By The Alpha

“I stood alone on the altar, waiting to marry Caden Fields, the future Alpha of the Black Forest Pack. But the groom never arrived. Instead, a messenger rushed through the crowd with a careless, unsealed letter: Caden had eloped with a lowly Omega. The wedding guests erupted into a roar of shock and cruel laughter. Mocking whispers hit me from every direction. They sneered that a "wolfless" bride like me could never hold an Alpha heir. Even my own family looked at me with deep disgust, treating me like a failed business transaction, just damaged goods ready to be discarded. The heavy tide of humiliation threatened to pull me under. But why should I bear the crushing shame of his selfish betrayal? They all expected me to break down, to weep and run away like a pathetic joke. Instead, the despair vanished, replaced by a core of pure, sharp ice. I tore the delicate lace veil from my hair and threw my bouquet to the cold stone floor. Turning my back on the jeering crowd, I locked eyes with the most powerful man in the territory-Caden's father. "According to ancient pack laws, the wronged party can demand compensation from the offender's bloodline." I raised my hand and pointed directly at the reigning, untouchable Alpha. "I demand to complete this union today. And I choose you, Alpha Fenton Fields."”
