The Alpha's RegretChapter 1: The Forgotten Ritual
It was a night I had dreamed of for years—the night of the full moon when my mating ritual would finally happen. I stood in my shimmering dress, the moonlight reflecting off the fabric, waiting for Scott Stone, the man I thought would be my forever. But he never came. As the hours passed and the moon rose higher in the sky, I realized the ceremony wouldn’t happen. I waited, eyes gleaming with hope and hurt, but in the end, I was left alone.
By the time the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, I had become the subject of whispers and ridicule among the pack. My mother's heart was already fragile and didn't survive the shame. She passed away that very night, her life ending as mine shattered. Before the day ended, Scott’s first love, Winona Lei, posted a picture. “You’re always there for me,” the caption stated. The photo showed their closeness together.
