“I was chained to the cold iron walls of the Citadel, looking down at the jeering faces of my own people. Below me, my stepsister Jasmine nestled against my fiancé, Beckham, wearing the silk gown meant for our union ceremony. She stroked her stomach with a triumphant smirk, announcing she was already carrying his child, the next heir. "A wolfless Omega like you was never fit to be my Luna," Beckham spat. "Your only purpose was to secure the support of your mother's family." Before the hollow betrayal could fully sink in, a silver-tipped arrow pierced my chest. As my soul floated above my lifeless body, a massive, ink-black Lycan burst through the crowd, slaughtering the guards in a feral rage. It was Alpha Killian, Beckham's crippled rival, whom they claimed they had just poisoned. He gathered my bloody corpse into his arms, weeping blood-tinged tears, and our dormant mate bond suddenly flared to life. "Next life, I will find you." He choked out the words before plunging his own claws into his heart, dying beside me to protect my body. I had spent my entire life as a blind, obedient pawn, never realizing my family's treacherous greed or the profound devotion of the fated mate I had completely ignored. A warm, silver light from the Moon Goddess suddenly enveloped my shattered soul. When I opened my eyes again, I was sitting in the sunlit chapel, back on the exact afternoon of my union ceremony.”
