Left with no option, Adriana reluctantly agreed to wed the lycan king, unaware that fate has entwined her with the stranger from the bar.

“ What would be the fate of Adriana?”
Will she be able to win back the lycan king even though his long-lost love was back?
Chapter 1
CHAPTER 1
ADRIANA'S POV
“Lucian!” I called when I saw him kissing a lady. I bit back the cry that was about to escape my lips as I watched my mate kiss another lady right in front of my eyes.
Why am I the only wolf in this pack who is Ill-fated?
Why don't I deserve happiness?
I looked up only to see a devilish smirk dancing at the corners of his lips. I am sure he knew what he was doing.
“ Oh, my mate is here” Lucian said in a mocking tone and all his friends present burst into laughter, while I stood rimmed to the ground.
I was too heartbroken to say a word. I thought my sufferings would be over if I found my mate, but I was certainly mistaken because my suffering was doubled when I saw who my mate was.
My mate turned out to be the alpha of our pack, Dark Howls pack. I never wish for an alpha as a mate, I always pray for an ordinary male-wolf, who would love me to the moon and back, cherish me and give me that love that I was denied of since the death of my mother.
The lady who Lucian was kissing turned to face me, and my heart flew into my mouth instantly.
Isn't she my step-sister, Stella?
Why would she be kissing my mate?
I wasn't aware of when I fell on my butt, looking so pale as tears rolled down my eyes.
Kissing a stranger wouldn't have hurt much, but kissing my step-sister hurts much that I literally felt my heart shattering into a thousand pieces.
I know me and Stella weren't always on good terms because she maltreats me alongside her mother, even though she was my younger sister, but it hurt to see her kissing my mate.
Stella smirked at me and I couldn't believe it. So she did it deliberately?
She was aware that Lucian is my mate, yet she seduced him? How cruel can she be?
Being maltreated by her and her mother wasn't enough, now she had seduced my mate and made him hers without my consent.
Lucian is the alpha of our pack and the most handsome man in the Dark Howls pack, he had curly black hair with brown eyes that could have drawn any soul in them.
I knew he was going to reject me eventually the minutes I found out that he was my mate. No alpha of any pack would want to make an ordinary omega without a wolf as his Luna and wife. He wants an alpha blood female who would rule the pack with him and make the pack the strongest among others, not a weak omega without a wolf like me.
“ Bastard!” I muffled under my breath as he smooched Stella's lips right in front of me.
" Do you think I would accept an omega like you as my mate?” Lucian said after he broke the kiss with Stella, who was rubbing his chiseled chest.
“ But I am your mate, Lucian” I stated, reminding him that I am his mate and he was supposed to be kissing me, not my step-sister.
" You're my mate, and so fucking what? Don't tell me you came running here because you thought I was going to welcome you with wide arms?” He laughed in a mocking tone. All his friends and pack members also joined him in the laughter, making me look like a fool and a weakling in front of them.
“ So aren't you welcoming me with open arms? Are you going to choose my step-sister over your mate?” I gathered the courage to speak, and Lucian chuckled coldly before moving forward to where I stood.
With every step he took, my heart beat became faster as he drew closer to me. He stopped just an inch away from me as he looked at me with those cold eyes of his, making me shiver.
The aura emitting from him was screaming danger, but I wasn't backing out so easily. I am not a trash that could be tossed around because I am weak.
“ Give me two reasons why I should choose you over your sister?” That was the first question that left his mouth when he drew closer to me.
I lost my tongue because my head immediately went blank because of his hot breath which was fanning my face.
“ I….” I couldn't form a word, and he smirked.
“ I can't make a weakling like you as my mate, you don't even have a wolf, do you?” He mocked, and I tightened my fists in anger.
Growing up for me was like living in a total different world as I faced criticism because I didn't have a wolf, and I was a weakling.
For the past eighteen years after the death of my mother, I have grown accustomed to their hateful and hurtful wards towards me because I had no one to fight for me except for my mum, who was now dead.
I felt tears sprawling from the corners of my eyes as my heart bled like I was stabbed by a dagger.
“ I am not a weakling, Lucian! My wolf would come out soon” I defended as my shoulder trembled in anger because of how I was mocked.
I knew I was a weakling, but must they rub it on my face?
Lucian was already furious because of how I talked back at him, so he raised his hand and landed me a deafening slap. I fell to the ground, hurting my knees in the process.
“ I, Lucian Grim wood, Alpha of Dark Howls pack, reject Adriana Brown as my mate and the Luna of my pack.” He said with a smirk dancing on his lips and at that instant, I felt a sharp pain like an arrow shoot into my heart, making me to grip my chest in pain as I began to wallow and wail in pain.
My vision became blurry as I was blinded with tears, but everyone around me burst into laughter, including Lucian as he watched me wallow in pain like nothing happened.
Why is my life filled with misfortunes? My only hope of escaping the torture of my stepmother and step-sister shattered that minute.
I could see the amusing look on his face as he watched me withered in pain like it was fun to him.
