"And who is your mate?" he asked, his eyes searching hers.
Luna took a deep breath and braced herself for his reaction. "It's Damian," she said quietly.
Her father's face darkened, and Luna could see the anger and disappointment in his eyes. "A vampire?" he spat. "How could you let this happen, Luna? How could you betray your pack like this?"
Luna hung her head, feeling the weight of her father's disappointment. She knew that he would never approve of her mating with a vampire, especially one who was an enemy of their pack.
"How could you do this, Luna?" her father asked, his voice filled with anger. "You know the danger that he poses to us, and yet you choose to bond with him?"
Luna felt a pang of guilt and shame, but she refused to back down. She had no control over the blood bond, but she knew that she couldn't deny the pull that she felt towards Damian. It was as if they were meant to be together, despite everything that stood in their way.
