“I’m Vanessa,”
Vanessa had been waiting eagerly all morning for the first sign of the future Beta. Rumors had been spreading amongst the pack that their Luna had returned and with them her children.
She’d listened to the gossip about how smitten her Aiden had become with their Luna’s daughter and speculations were made that the girl was his mate. Of course, Vanessa shut this rumor down swiftly.
How could she become the next Beta’s mate when there’s gossip going about that he’d found his mate? Everyone already knew they weren’t mates; it had been the topic of gossip for weeks after her first shift.
Even so, Vanessa was determined to mate with him despite not being his true mate. She’d even go as far as rejecting her own true mate should he ever have the nerve to show his face to her.
