The Strongest Beta is My Luna

Every 3 years, warriors from packs all over the world were forced to attend the cruel training camp ran by the ruthless Avondale pack. Knowing only few could survive, Clare Miller volunteered to go in her brother’s stead. She vowed to defeat the ruthless alpha, Leonel Wood, after she became the strongest beta. However, when it was time to choose where her loyalties lie, her mind was made up but her heart had a different answer. *** “Mate,” he commanded and I froze. His hand cupped my cheek firmly. The fire in his eyes raged between anger and understanding, judgment and mercy, life and death… “What do you want?” I asked. My heart thundered as I waited for the verdict. Slowly his thumb ran over my lips and his hand smoothed a hot trail from my cheek through the valley between my breasts over my belly and lower. "You." His eyes held mine as the heat rose inside of me. "But I don’t always get to make the easy choice.” “You always have the choice.” I looked him in the eye. “Until now.”

Chapter 11: Dealing with Rejection

Leonel POV

I stared unblinking into the starry night sky, stunned at what I had just experienced. Never in history had someone blatantly rejected their fated mate as easily as Clare had rejected me. I knew that I was not mistaken about her being my true mate; it was an instinct that every wolf could recognize deep in their core when they finally came into contact with ‘the one.’

But she rejected me. For the first time in my life, I felt shattered. I had lost something that I never had and it broke me. The entire situation was unnatural and made me feel as though the very earth had been pulled from beneath my feet.

Was this sorrow? Heartbreak?

I hardly knew Clare at all, so it was not love; it was our destiny that she denied. It made sense that there would be consequences to going against nature.
