Introduction

At the annual matchmaking ceremony, Fiora found herself unexpectedly chosen to be the Luna of a renowned pack. The choice was bewildering—she was an outcast in her own family, overshadowed by her sister Freya. Yet, there she was, standing before the alpha, Brynmor, who had singled her out amidst the sea of eligible she-wolves.
Fiora's initial refusal was met with her mother's wrath and the alpha's enigmatic smile. With no other option, she reluctantly accepted her new role. But as she settled into her new life, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. Brynmor's intentions were as mysterious as his smile, and Fiora found herself questioning the true nature of her new mate.
As the days passed, Fiora discovered that Brynmor's pack was not just any pack—it was her family's sworn enemy. The revelation sent shockwaves through her, and she began to wonder if her selection was a cruel twist of fate or something more sinister.
What exactly was Brynmor's plan, and why had he chosen Fiora, of all the she-wolves, to be his Luna? The questions haunted her, leaving her to wonder if she would ever uncover the truth.

Chapter 1

  Fiora Pov

  "Tonight the wedding ceremony of all the wolf nations will take place. You're already 25 years old, how long will you be alone? When will you get your mate?"

  I couldn't say anything, mom was always pushing me to get a strong and mighty alpha, just an alpha not anything else, that's why I still didn't have a mate.

  "Mom, it's just-"

  "You want to fight me again? What are you thinking Fiora! Look at your old face, what alpha would marry your form that even makes me sick! You look at your sister, Freya! So beautiful, even all the alphas are waiting outside to ask permission so that tonight they can be her mates!"

  Freya, and Freya again. I sometimes think that I'm not a biological child of the Starfire family. Freya is the only one they consider to exist.

  "Mom, I'll come," I replied and she looked very happy.

  "Yes, you will or you won't. I don't care, tonight wear the perfect outfit so the alphas want you! Don't make me angry if a lower caste man chooses you!"

  Just a nod was enough to make mom shut up, who would an alpha want me? They all knew that I was the daughter of a beta family who was not wanted at all. I was a useless family disgrace.

  I grabbed some clothes from the closet, as I closed the closet door Freya's reflection appeared in the closet mirror. I sighed, this time it was what she wanted.

  "Are you sure you're coming?" I turned around and nodded. Freya then laughs with her face full of makeup.

  "Mom forced me."

  "Yes, I did. You're already 25 and you don't help out at home at all. Just cleaning without anything else? You'd better go get married."

  She arrogantly pulled her hair back. Then smiled like the sweetest woman. I admit she's pretty, but she's very rotten.

  "I can't determine that, if the Moon Goddess wants me to have a partner, she'll show me."

  Freya smiles a smirk, what is she thinking now. "Yes, you're starting to fight back now." My hair hurts, she pulls it then forces me out of the room.

  With all her might she throws me against the wall. I held my bumped head and looked up slightly at mom and dad. Why do I always get into trouble, what else are the three of them going to do now.

  "What's wrong sweetheart?" Honey? Did you also forget that I'm his son? Why doesn't he ever call me by that title.

  "Fiora taunted me saying that she's going to get a great alpha tonight." They all laughed immediately, I tried to stand up by holding my bumped head, it still hurt.

  "I know one alpha that matches she, Alpha Rey... hahaha." They laughed again, insulting the one who had no faults and was the most righteous.

  "Alpha Rey? That matches! The discarded alpha with the useless wolf woman."

  "Don't forget Alpha Rey is 70 years old and a widower. Fiora is the most appropriate woman to be with his."

  I could only smile, they didn't even care about my feelings. Alpha Rey? Yeah I guess it's fine to marry him, rather than in a house hungry for power and money.

  Tonight is the night that all werewolves look forward to, but not me. The full moon graced the sky, illuminating the no man's land where we gathered.

  Once a year, on a night like this, they come from all over, leaving their respective territories for one purpose, to choose a mate.

  I saw all the wolf nations that were here, very much in love. They stand tall, proud and strong, showing their courage and strength. I know, it's useful for luring the opposite sex.

  Suddenly everyone began to back away and prepare a path, "Alpha Brynmor!" shouted every female here.

  It was the meanest alpha and yes my family's sworn enemy. But he was handsome, oh my god what was I thinking. I pinched my own hand to wake up.

  "Fiora! Why are you still standing here! Go flirt with the alphas! Or do you want to marry alpha Rey!"

  I nodded as she started pinching my arm. I walked down each street, but as I got closer they all started backing away slowly and talking about me.

  "Just surrender," I muttered then looked for a seat.

  The mate selection began, the Alphas were called up one by one. "Alpha Joy!" Everyone looked at Alpha Joy and that guy was the Alpha of the Tiger Wolf kingdom.

  "Which girl from which circle will Alpha Joy choose as his mate!" Everyone started shouting and the women were being sweet and pretty with their gestures.

  I'm sure it's not me, if he chooses me then he's crazy and blind and stupid. Choosing me would be tantamount to being ridiculed by everyone.

  But for some reason Alpha Joy's eyes looked at me, I quickly looked away, don't tell me he's really crazy and chose me.

  "What are you doing!" whispered Mom who suddenly came while pinching me, it hurt like hell. "Show your face!" I nodded, and finally straightened up, but when our eyes met Alpha Joy immediately looked away, thankfully she wasn't crazy.

  "Daughter of the Storm family. Lucile Storm!"

  I breathed a sigh of relief, even though mom's face was very creepy. Lucile then climbed to the top of the setting, ah yes they kissed under the moon hoping the Goddess would approve of their marriage.

  "Now it's Alpha Brynmor's turn." Everyone became silent, what's wrong with this alpha.

  I know that he is 35 years old and every year can't find the mate he wants, but as always the alpha is always the target of the women.

  Although everyone became silent, the women again began to strike seductive and charming poses.

  "Stand up Flora!" I then stood up as mom pulled my arm up. What now.

  "If you don't marry the alpha tonight, I'll make your whole body a sacrifice."

  Being a sacrifice was better, but as I looked at Alpha Brynmor for some reason he was looking at me with a strange smile.

  Don't tell me he's crazy and will choose me, I immediately looked at something else but after peeking he smiled even more and looked at me strangely.

  I'm dead, slowly the direction of his gaze changed I became a little relieved. "Fool! Why are you relieved like that!"

  "Mom, like we said earlier, which Alpha would want to marry a she. It would be stupid if there were." Freya always comes along and heats things up. "Brynmor's famous Alpha is mighty, strong, even evil. There's no way he would want to be with her."

  "Fioraluna Starfire!"

  "What!"
