Chapter 1
Selena’s POV
I stood in the corner of the hall looking at the grand wedding unfolding in front of me, different people trouping in in pairs and groups as everywhere was gradually buzzing-
However, instead of feeling the same excitement and happiness just like everyone else, I was so sad that I felt like crying. My heart was heavy and the happiness I had earlier this morning over the feeling of finding my mate today still couldn’t help.
This wedding event was not meant to happen. It shouldn’t be happening.
It was my father’s second wedding, and our pack, Silver Moon, was holding the grand ceremony for him as the Alpha to welcome the new Luna, my step mother.
This wasn’t his first wedding, but it absolutely looked like one, with a lot of value attached to it, as everywhere was decorated lavishly in the most exquisite way, so well planned that no one would think he was getting married to a second wife and not his first and fated mate.
The whole hall looked like a paradise, fascinating with smiles on everyone’s faces in respect of the new incoming Luna, who would take the place of my mother and also become my stepmother.
I wished it was a dream that I was going to wake up from. My father had promised not to take another wife out of loyalty to my mother. He claimed he would take care of me and train me to be his next heir without having to bring another wife. But it was just less than a year before this girl appeared in his life, and everything changed.
I couldn’t recognize my father anymore, as every promise he made to me was swept beneath the earth. Nothing mattered to him more than her, not even me or my late mother, his mate. He won’t even want to pay a visit to her grave.

I wonder what this lady did to make my father fall so hard that my words were nothing to him. He only listens to her and wouldn’t mind if I got hurt in the process. Every day, he would keep warning me to never disrespect her or I would get punished severely.
For that, I stayed away, making sure I never crossed her path and praying my father’s eyes would clear someday to realize all this doesn’t look normal. There was every reason to believe my father was under a spell, but there was nothing I could do.
Every night and day, I prayed to the moon goddess to save my father from this bondage, but it was clear my prayers. cross the ceiling. Not only was dad going to marry her/she also has his baby in her stomach already.

My name is Selene, the daughter of the Alpha and supposed heir to the throne as the Luna. As a female, I was supposed to be the next ruler of this pack, and if my mate turned out to be an Alpha, then I was going to choose if I wanted the Beta to take over my father or someone else, or rather bond my mates pack with mine and we rule both as one.
But now, as I watch my father getting married to another woman, I know all these privileges will be gone,
e, especially if she
gets a son.
My eyes roamed through the hall as the cool music began to play through the sound system, lights from the chandelier and walls brightening the whole place, displaying the beauty of every design.
More anxiety waved into me, intense fear pressing against my heart as I wondered what my fate would turn into, adding that I was 18 now and couldn’t either shift or find a mate of mine. Dad had always told me I shouldn’t be worried that it happens at times and I could be a late bloomer. This was his words when my mother was still alive, now he doesn’t care.
At this moment, with a new Luna and a new-born baby of the Alpha, it was glaring that I would become the black sheep.
Weeks ago, my father had introduced this new lover of his, promising me that I would grow to like her and see her as a mother, but when I reminded him of his promise, he threatened to beat me up if I ever repeated that. According to him, I
have no right to question whatever he does and instead I should a b i d e by every of his rules and order.
Diana was the name of the soon to be, Luna, the new woman my father has suddenly become obsessed with. He wants her beside him all day and has given me little or no attention.
I was as if he suddenly hated me after this woman came into his life.
you see why I have tears in my eyes watching this wedding progress. I was so sure she had been poisoning my father’s mund behad the doors.
My dad also seemed to have forgotten my mother so soon and had already gotten entwined in the web of this Diana of a woman, and that’s what hurts me the most.
Dana was once the Luna of her pack but lost her mate to a brutal war two years ago. Then the throne was taken over by the Bet of her pack. They were just a neighboring pack, beneath us in both power and authority. In fact, in the food chain, they appeared to be the ones beneath every pack in the eastern part of America, depending on others for support and protection.
I have no idea how my father could stoop so low to choose someone from that pack to be his mate.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Meanwhile, I thought Diana, who was a Luna from such a low-class pack, would do all she could to treat me right since my father just gave her the opportunity to live a better life here in this pack, but it turned out I was absolutely wrong…
With a slow pace, I made my way out of the hall, unable to stay anymore. I prefer staying at my mother’s grave instead of the wedding hall. Imagine having your father get married today, yet he hadn’t come to check on you or care if you were
In was as if my father had pushed me out of his life to focus on his new wife.
I let out a deep sigh, fiddling with the bracelet in my hand, which was the last gift from my mother before she died. A strange sickness that no doctor could cure took away my mother’s life, and this bracelet was her gift on the sick bed.
My life wasn’t the same anymore since the new Luna came into my father’s life. She had changed him, and now even my pack had turned their backs on me focusing on her since she had a child for my father. I was wolfless and weak, traits that shouldn’t be seen in someone like me.
It actually dawned on me that I had been rejected and every right and authority I thought I got as the Alpha’s daughter was gone. My only hope was finding my mate and today felt like the day for it to happen. I had been feeling it that he was surely going to be among the crowd that would attend the wedding-
I can’t wait to meet him. He is the only one who won’t reject me like others instead love and cherish me. If he turns out to be an Alpha, my joy will have no bounds.
