As I joyfully awoke and made my way to my vanity area, the hands of the clock ticked, indicating that it was now 9 in the evening. I took a seat and I could not help but gaze at myself in the mirror until my hazel blue eyes landed on my face while I brushed my fingers through my waist lengthy sandy blond hair.
It is now finally the mating ball where everyone has a chance to find their mate- and I was so excited to wear my long gold gown hanging on the wall. It was adorned with fake diamonds which shone brightly whenever they hit the light.
But sadness visited my face as I remembered my mom who passed away many years ago. According to my aunt, my mother left this sophisticated gold gown for me for the mating ball. I touched it gently as if I were touching my mom. My aunt said she died in a mysterious way and protected me while my father was killed by a mysterious Alpha.
As I put on my gown, I stared at myself but something was missing. Damn! The necklace that my childhood friend named Matthew is the one I forgot to wear. When I took the necklace out of my cabinet, I grinned since it was the ideal complement to the elegance of my gown. Time flies so fast that I forgot that I have a friend like him. Unfortunately, he just left without giving any reason.
I caressed the pendant while I reminisced about the times of us being happy together playing in the Enchanted Garden where we first met. And until this very moment, I'm still missing him and wish he were here.
"Please wear this every day as it will serve as my reminder that I am always at your side! Please do not let others steal this from you!"
These words that he said will be forever instilled in my heart and I'll never forget his rakish smile while he was putting the necklace on my neck.
I can still remember my aunt telling me that I had to give her the pendant in order to pay off the debts that my parents had left behind, but I protested and said that I would sooner work as a slave for her family than give the most priceless gift that Matthew had given me.
The memory of them berating me in the past while trying to take my pendant by force is still vivid, but I have kept my commitment to Matthew to this day.
My aunt, along with her family, is not really related to me. They just adopted me and turned me into a slave when my parents died. It's quite challenging to live without parents, siblings, or close friends.
I often experienced being bullied by the high-ranking members of the pack who are mocking and laughing at me every day and those harsh words they said have crushed my heart multiple times. It seems that the world is my enemy. Omega she-wolfs like me have been denied so many possibilities in life that I was unable to enroll in wolf school, where I could have learned more about the history, culture, and agriculture of our pack-a luxury only granted to the most powerful wolves.
I only learned how to read and write when Matthew was still with me- and now that he's gone, I no longer found education interesting.
Only the housework and errands for them are the only things my aunt trains me to do. And I simply occupy the backyard, which is close to the trash.
I clenched the knob, but I couldn't find the courage to twist it. I debated going because I suddenly got the feeling that something bad would happen to me. Before I left, I closed my eyes and asked for my mother's guidance.
"Please, I don't know what lies ahead, but the time has come for me to find my fated mate and he will be my knight in shining armor who can protect me from the hands of those who mock me!"
As I stepped outside, creepy noises were common and made worse by the fierce wind and ominous thunder. I just hoped it wouldn't turn into a snowstorm. Taking a deep breath, I slowly dragged my feet outside. I touched the smooth wooden railing with my fingertips and turned my gaze to the road. The only discernable light was the moon shining above the sky.
I walked at a brisk pace and I made it clear to myself that I needed to attend the mating ball and meet my fated mate.
I quickly made it into the enormous mansion where the mating ball was taking place.
I'd never been inside the mansion before, but as soon as I stepped inside, the aroma of food welcomed me. When I looked around, I noticed that there were many people present and the mansion was well-lit by chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. They are all conversing with one another while holding a glass of wine.
With their elegant attire and pricey accessories like handbags, watches, and necklaces, the entire crowd gave off an upscale impression. As soon as the music began, I noticed that some of the attendees began to smile. I cannot hide the fact that I can only brag about my necklace as part of the crowd and not myself. I considerably belong to the lowest rank so I know where to put myself.
Each rank had its own allotted table, but someone like me lingered in a corner by myself, roaming my eyes around and looking for someone I might know.
In the middle of my search, someone tapped my back. I turned around and my eyes widened in shock when I saw my old friend, Cindy. She is a daughter of the Lexwell family- one of the most wealthy in the pack and my only friend in the entire pack. I looked at her from head to toe and she was so gorgeous in her long red gown with a butterfly necklace to match.
Sophia is an Omega werewolf, the lowest-rank of their pack. When Moon Goddess Ashlea told her that Ace is her fated mate, the highest rank of their pack, she immediately told him about this but he rejected her during her birthday party. But Sophia knew from the very start that Olivia has something to do with this, and she is exploiting her powers and wealth to ruin Sophia's only happiness. With the help of her Step father Conan, they found out that there was a deep reason behind Ace rejecting Sophia...

Thought to be born to peasants, Madisyn was shocked to find that her real father was the richest man in the city, and her brothers were renowned figures in their respective fields. They showered her with love, only to learn that Madisyn had a thriving business of her own. "Stop pestering me!" said her ex-boyfriend. "My heart only belongs to Jenna." "How dare you think that my woman has feelings for you?" claimed a mysterious bigwig.
"I heard you're going to marry Marcelo. Is this perhaps your revenge against me? It's very laughable, Renee. That man can barely function."

Belinda thought after divorce, they would part ways for good - he could live his life on his own terms, while she could indulge in the rest of hers. However, fate had other plans in store. "My darling, I was wrong. Would you please come back to me?" The man, whom she once loved deeply, lowered his once proud head humbly. "I beg you to return to me." Belinda coldly pushed away the bouquet of flowers he had offered her and coolly replied, "It's too late. The bridge has been burned, and the ashes have long since scattered to the wind!"
"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
