Luna's Rejection, Alpha's RegretChapter 1
Stormhowl Pack - Elara and Alpha Cyrus' Wedding day.
Weddings were supposed to be one of the happiest days in the life of any girl but here I was, standing at the wedding stage of Stormhowl pack, my heart pounding with anticipation and growing unease with no sign of my mate and husband-to-be - Alpha Cyrus.
The old joining priest cleared his throat noisily as he shifted from one foot to another. Although he wasn’t saying anything, I had a feeling that he was not happy about the delay and so was I.
The elaborate wedding decoration adorning the pack grounds seemed to mock me as minutes ticked by, turning into an hour of agonizing wait. It was clear – I had been stood up by my mate on my wedding day.
The whispers of the gathered pack members grew louder, their concerned glances, piercing through me like daggers. I clutched my bouquet tighter, the delicate flowers crushing beneath my trembling fingers. How could Cyrus do this to me? We had grown up together, our bond strengthening over the years until we became mates after shifting.
