I walked along the path beneath the old lamppost, feeling the chilly autumn breeze.

With my high heels in one hand, I walked barefoot along the riverside promenade, feeling a bit tipsy as I looked ahead.

Oh, right. It was the same route I used to follow Alpha Austin at Lunar Crest Academy during our university days, the same time I chose him over my pack and settled here in the Silver Moonlight pack.

It was a constant reminder of the heavy decision I would soon regret….

Flashback….

On my 18th birthday celebration, my loving father, the Alpha of our pack, Atticus Morgan, together with the elder, widened their eyes when they saw what the Astral orb revealed.

"It can't be. My daughter should not be mated to him!" Dad roared, stood up from his seat, and gazed at me with terror. "Your mate…"

"What about him? Is he an Alpha, and why are you scared? I once dreamed my fated mate was Alpha," I said, unable to anticipate meeting him.

While I was cheerful and curious, Dad looked hot under the collar. He was down in the lumps, observing how ecstatic I was.
