Rewind to seven years ago...
I had turned 18 at the time. I was so ecstatic with joy. Although I knew what I would do was foolish and unlikely to win my parents' approval, it was what I wanted. When I first saw her in sixth grade, I knew she would be mine. I was going to announce it formally tonight.
At my birthday celebration tonight, I would pop the question to her in front of everyone. Nobody else could think of who I would prefer to have as my mate. My wolf wasn't exactly delighted with the idea, but I knew he would change his mind once he realized that I needed this.
She embodied perfection in every way. She stood at 5'5" and had long, silky blonde hair, perfect curves, and stunning green eyes. I was fortunate enough to get her to date me because she was the gorgeous female I had ever seen.
Everybody was focused on her whenever she entered the room. Everywhere she went, she turned heads. I'm aware that many of the males envied her for picking me. I was hers, and she was mine.
I exhaled nervously as I rubbed my sweaty palms across my jeans. I took the ring box out of my pocket and examined it. A platinum, gold, and diamond ring was worn. She was worth every last penny, even though it had cost a lot.

I overcame my anxiety and gathered all my strength to leave my room and locate Victoria. I went to her room and entered without knocking because that was how we always did things.
She may have already departed for the party because I couldn't find her anywhere inside. After leaving her room, I then made my way to the ballroom where the celebration was being hosted.
Despite my absence, the party was in full swing. Given that I didn't know who half of the guests were, I believe this celebration was more for my parents than for me. My dad tapped my shoulder from behind and said, "Son, we've been looking everywhere for you."

I'm trying to find Victoria. Do you recognize her? I inquired, immediately wanting to locate her. "No. My father pulled me from where I was heading and said, "There are a few people here that we'd like you to meet." Again, here we are. I was presented to one person after another, but I couldn't recall their names at the end of it all. Finding Victoria was the main thing on my mind.
I saw her right as I was going to walk away from a bunch of girls who were much too close to my king. She headed outside, closely followed by a second boy.

I quickly excused myself and moved behind the group. Now that I was outside in the backyard, I was unsure where they had run off. As I paid close attention to my surroundings, I kept a sharp ear out for movement.
A short while later, I heard a moan. My heart was racing as I moved towards the direction of the commotion because I was afraid of what might be around the corner.

A recognizable voice groaned, "Faster, faster, faster, yes, right there", I heard. I instantly froze when my thoughts finally registered what was happening around the corner. I turned the corner and saw her, still unable to believe she would cheat on me. She was being held against the wall by the guy, who had his torso wrapped around her tan, smooth legs. Her dress had bunched about her waist as it had ridden up.
They were both so engrossed in the action that they were unaware that I was present. I watched the guy have sex with my girlfriend while standing there like a moron. Girlfriend.
That term had an unpleasant flavour.
When I eventually got their attention, she pushed him away and adjusted her clothing as soon as I cleared my throat.
She added as she approached me, "It's not what it appears to be.
Oops, really? I inquired, my voice dripping with contempt. He questioned while adjusting his clothes, "Who is this dude?" I said to the moron, "Her boyfriend, no, ex-boyfriend." He made fun of my reply. "You are such a moron. Did you honestly believe that Victoria belonged to you? I stayed silent while he grinned.
Victoria is a whore who I hired to woo you into giving me information. She was the source of the leaks concerning your pack. He said, laughing, "She is the reason for all those rogue attacks. Is this accurate? I gave her my full attention. She did really appear humiliated as she looked down. Red was all I could see after that.

It wasn't until it was too late that I even realized what had happened. I was covered in my ex-and girlfriend's the jerk she was screwing's blood. Their lifeless bodies lay on the ground, torn apart.
Flashback over.
That is how I assassinated my first love. Because of this, I don't trust women.
That was my motivation, for I was happy to learn that I couldn't locate my match. Despite my father's persistent asking, I felt relieved and bereaved when I failed to find my partner.

I don't know what to do with her now that I have her. I chose the best course of action because I needed to figure out how to handle the circumstance. So I disregarded her.
Marina's POV
3-week period.
Three weeks have passed since I last saw him. I last saw him when I learned he is the North pack's alpha.
My wolf was whining, not me, though. For the past three weeks, she has been a hot mess. She occasionally wouldn't communicate with me for days; other times, she cried while sitting in a corner. I wanted something to lift her spirits because seeing her in such a state was distressing.
I was confident she would feel better if she was close to him. Therefore, that was the plan for the day. I was going on a wolf hunt for my partner to please my wolf. If fighting someone who didn't want anything to do with us was what it took to save her, then so be it. She was priceless.
I've become accustomed to hearing people refer to me as their Luna for the past three weeks. Even if their alpha was a total jerk, it was still strange at first, but I had become accustomed to the notion that I was their Luna.
Since I started working with Elder Victoria, I've been able to control my powers. I now knew how to regulate it so that I wouldn't accidentally murder myself while I was healing someone.
I took a deep breath and changed into the dress Sophia had assisted me in choosing. Ryan has been staying out of my way, but he has always ensured I have everything I need.
He was extremely kind. Not.
It was a short dress that hit just above my knees and was worn with sneakers. It wasn't overly constricting, but it did highlight my small curves. Moreover, I wasn't donning this outfit for him; instead, I was wearing this dress because I never got to wear clothes like this in my old pack.
Shaking my head to eliminate all the depressing thoughts trying to break free, I focused back on my reflection in the mirror. I gave myself a small pep talk and patted my shoulders to assure myself everything would be fine.
I stood there in front of the mirror for a few minutes practising what I would say when I saw him. So far, I have had nothing. Like, what does one even speak to their mate?
'Oh hey, my wolf is lonely, so you must spend time with her."
'Oh my god, like babe, we have to spend the day together, I said out loud in an exaggerated girly voice while twirling my hair.
This was a lost cause.
My wolf became irate and yelled, "Grow some balls and go to our mate!"
She found it simple to say. She wasn't the one who was going to stand in front of him and humiliate herself. I should stop pursuing a person who doesn't desire me and instead move on.
Now what?
As soon as I realized what I was thinking, I laughed. I was supposed to spend eternity with this person, but I could just as quickly move on from my spouse.
Why are you doing that? While struggling to contain her laughing, Sophia enquired. Standing in front of the mirror while chatting to myself, I must have appeared strange.
"It's fortunate that you are here. What location can I find the alpha at?" I enquired while blushing from the cheeks.
She smiled and wriggled her eyebrows, "You mean your mate.
"Uh yeah"
"Since this is his room, he usually spends some time here. Even the pack house has been weeks without his going there. "She paused, her face reflecting thought.
"Wait... He rejected you, or did you leave him? "She enquired in horror.
"Not at all. I want to know his location."
"Since he's not here, he must be at his cabin in the woods," I said.
"Could
this lodge?"
Please let me know precisely where I may find
"Oh. I see. "She moved her brows.
I am slyly glancing at my attire.
I remarked, "It's not what you think", after realizing where she was headed with this.
"I get it. You find your man, "She applauded.
She then exited the room after giving me the directions. She closed the door behind her, and I exhaled a sigh of relief, to which she laughed on the other side. All I had to do was travel to the location where I now knew he was.
What are you holding out for? My hurriedly. Wolf growled.
Don't just stand there, I say. She yelled, "Go get our mate... NOW!"
As I hurriedly left the room in pursuit of our partner, my feet began to move on their own. I was moving in the direction Sophia had instructed me to travel; I prayed this was the correct path. My inner wolf alerted me to our approaching proximity when it started to jump and squeal.
I continued on my journey until I came to a clearing with a tall cabin in the centre. He seemed to be inside, and I knew that he was aware that we were outside as well. It was constructed from glass and wood.
I could see inside through the floor-to-ceiling windows from where I was standing, but I couldn't see him.
I strolled up to the door and stopped before knocking. He hadn't moved because I heard nothing. I tried hitting again, but nothing happened. Although it is evident that he didn't want me there, the fact that he was there substantially calmed my wolf. After learning why he didn't want me, he could resume ignoring me.
I yelled, "I know you're in there, " to get him to open the door.
Nothing.
I said again, "I'm not leaving until you open the door."
Nothing.
I stayed put, though. I took a seat on the porch's stairway landing. I've travelled too far to return empty-handed to the pack house.
I yelled from the steps, "Fine, stay in there, but I'm still not leaving."
I was once more faced with silence.
"It's okay, and you can act like a coward all you want. When you were just a tiny bit- I genuinely thought you were the huge evil alpha everyone feared." A thunderous roar that shook the cottage and sent birds scurrying away interrupted my thoughts.
A large brown wolf emerged in front of me immediately after. I smirked as I got to my feet, quickly moved, and approached the beast. I attempted to manipulate him, and it seemed to work by magic. I give myself a mental high five.
