As she attempts to reclaim her life, the stakes grow higher. When Winona Lei, Scott's first love, digs deeper into her past, a sinister rivalry emerges, threatening to unravel everything Ariana holds dear.

The moon still shines bright, but for how long before the darkness consumes her?

Rejecting My Unworthy MateChapter 1: Forgotten Mate (Ariana's POV)

The full moon bathed everything in silver light, and I stood there, dressed in shimmering satin that clung to my every curve, feeling like the goddess of the evening. My heart raced with anticipation, waiting for Scott Stone, my Alpha and the man I thought would complete me.

The night of my mating ritual was supposed to be perfect—a moment I had envisioned for years but as the hours ticked by, anticipation turned into humiliation.

The pack members who are invited to witness the mating ritual started murmuring, their pity and judgment suffocating. I reached out to Scott through our mind link again and again, but all I met was silence. My mother, frail and barely clinging to life, was seated at the edge of the crowd, her face pale but hopeful. She had held on for this day, for so long. She won't give up and missed to see my happiest moment.
