Once Upon a Broken Moon Alpha King is my Second Chance Mate

“You’re a crazy bitch—how dare you do that to an Alpha’s daughter?!” Elodie whined as she stood up and straightened her dress. She made sure everyone heard her.

I held my chin high. “You may be the Alpha’s favorite daughter, but I’m an Alpha’s daughter nonetheless—even when that said Alpha also despises me.” I threw my father a knowing glance. He narrowed his eyes at me.

“ENOUGH!” A voice that rattled the glasses entered our arising drama.

I almost forgot the fact that wherever Elodie is, Alpha Gregor is always there. Of course, he’ll be in the Alpha Ball: he’s the Alpha of the Fireheart Pack, not to mention he’s Elodie’s fiancé.

“Oh hi, Alpha Gregor. Or should I say, good evening to you 'my mate who rejected me'.” I fluttered my eyelashes at him and paired it with a sickly sweet smile.

“You’ve been stalking me, aren’t you?” The Alpha clicked his tongue and crossed his arms. “That's why you're here, Evadne. You're obsessed with me. The likes of you never understand that no one in this world wants you.”

I narrowed my eyes at his accusation. He only devilishly grinned and ran a hand on his hair.

“You’re free to throw whatever insult at me, Greg. I don’t care.” I sneered, “I no longer even think of you nor the fact that you still exist.”

“Whatever you do, you’ll never have me back,” he said with unabashed pride.

“And why would I want spoiled goods returned to me?” I countered, flipping my unbound hair. Elodie and Alpha Marcus of the Moonflame Pack, my father, growled behind me in warning. “I’m stronger now, Alpha Gregor. Why would I want the prince when I can have the king?”

His mouth quirked to the side, ignoring the truth I just hurled at him. “Only Elodie is strong enough to be my Luna, Evadne. She’s always the stronger between the two of you, and you’re always the one to be easily crushed!”

Elodie and Alpha Marcus giggled behind me, lifting their wine glasses in cheers. Everybody now stopped to stare and watch us. Even the heavenly music ceased and is now replaced with the guests' intense gaze.

This year's Alpha Winter Ball is going to be much more...entertaining.

“If what you say is true, then why not try crushing me here and now?” I challenged him. “Surely the Alphas and Lunas won’t mind being entertained by your fragile hands tonight, Alpha Gregor.” I gestured to the people around us.

Wicked delight gleamed in those green eyes as if he had always hoped this moment would come—the time when he could show how embarrassed he was to have me as a mate. Or former mate, for that matter. To show everyone why he rejected me and he deserved someone stronger.

Well, I’m no longer the weak and battered Evadne. I now belong to the Alpha King—even if our hearts refused to cooperate.

“Fine, bitch. Just don’t come crying at me again to save you.” Then Alpha Gregor lunged for me with his signature attack. But I, being trained by the Alpha King’s pack...he didn’t expect that I was faster than him now.

My hands wrapped on his wrist. His eyes widened at my speed. I didn’t waste any time and snapped it once.
