I stupidly believed him, offering him my innocence. I was madly in love. I believe my saving grace was when he wanted our first time to be when I finally had my wolf. “I want to deflower you when you have your wolf and know we're mates. I heard it's a magical feeling. I'd want to experience.” he had said. “What if I'm not your mate?” I asked, but he never answered. I should have known his earlier declarations were false. He won't love me if I'm not his mate. Today is my 21st-birthday. My worst nightmare came. I'm not his mate. But here he was marking me as his chosen mate in the woods at our usual spot. But everything went astray when the devil lycan king, Hunter, a hybrid, rumored to have murdered his parents in cold-blood at the age of seven, appeared. He's ruthless. Cold. Deadly. Unforgiving. The incarnation of pure evil. His arrival changed everything… I returned home only to find out the man I risked my life to help escape from the lycan king had found his mate. So he forgot about me. My position as his Luna for the past three years flushed down the drain. I became a laughingstock, often bullied by his new mate. What if my thirst for freedom lands me in the arms of the man I dreaded? Am I willing to accept his deal to become his toy? Is it worth my freedom? What if I also have a secret I'm hiding from him? Will I ever tell him about the son conceived from our first encounter in the woods?
