Chapter 1

I caught my ex Alpha cheating, so I texted the Lycan King I REJECTED:

“Still want ME?”

His reply came in 0.2 seconds:

“On my knees in 5 minutes. Keep the door unlocked, baby.”

I thought I was the one crawling back…

Until the most powerful Lycan on earth kicked my apartment door off its hinges, eyes glowing gold.

...

"I, Evelyn Blackwood, reject you, Blake Drake, as my mate."

The pain of the bond snapping hit me like a freight train, but the betrayal cut deeper.

I never thought my fiancé would screw my best friend.

At eighteen, I awakened as a Healer, a rarity.

At the Pairing Ball, my wolf sparked with Blake’s. I became the girl every Alpha wanted, the future Luna of the pack.

Our binding ceremony was only a month away.

He was in New York for the Global Pack Summit. I flew in to surprise him, but the surprise was on me.

When I pushed open the hotel suite door, my keycard hit the floor. He was balls-deep in my so-called bestie.

"Does Evelyn make you feel this good?" Vanessa moaned, her back arched.

"Honey, she’s a dead fish in bed," Blake gasped.

"I close my eyes and imagine your face every time I touch her. Once the ceremony is over and I take over the company, I’ll have her power. That’s all I need her for."

I pulled out my phone, hit record, and walked in.

"I got it all on video," I said, my voice cold as ice.

"The engagement is off. I reject you."

I headed straight to a dive bar, drowning the pain in whiskey.

Just as a group of creeps started closing in, a suffocating pressure filled the room.

An Alpha’s command.

"You have three seconds to get lost."

"Or you die."

A man stepped out of the shadows.

6'7", black shirt, and piercing violet-gold eyes that made my soul shiver.

"You smell like..." He leaned down, his breath hot against my ear.

"My mate."
