Rejecting My Powerful Fated Alpha Mate

“I was the revered daughter of the former Alpha, destined to marry the most powerful Alpha in the territories to protect my pack. But on the day our pack hall collapsed in flames, the horrifying truth was revealed to me. My sweet cousin Karla and my supposed lover Jarrod had been plotting our ruin all along. Jarrod laughed as he plunged a silver dagger-a courtship gift from my own fated mate-into my loyal guard's chest. Then, Karla smiled as she forced a goblet of poisoned wine down my throat. As I lay dying in the ashes of my home, I looked up at my fated mate, Alpha Gavin. There was no love in his cold, silver eyes, only absolute disgust and suspicion. Thanks to their whispers, he truly believed I was the traitor who had sold our people out to our enemies. I died as a despised pariah, hated by the man I was bound to by the Moon Goddess, and betrayed by the family I trusted with my life. Until my last breath, the agonizing pain of the poison was nothing compared to the injustice of watching my entire world burn because of their lies. Opening my eyes again, the acrid smell of smoke and scorched flesh was gone. I was back in my bedroom, exactly one week before my doomed union ceremony. This time, I will formally reject my fated mate and tear those vipers apart piece by piece.”
