"You can't be serious!" Tristan chuckles, clearly dismissing the situation as a joke, but his laughter pierces my heart. My eyes well up with pain as I shrink under his cold gaze, feeling insignificant in his eyes. The disdain I see there intensifies the burning sensation in my chest.
"I'm sorry," I manage to choke out, but his response is a disgusted scoff. My feeble apology seems to fuel his anger, and he cuts me off. "It doesn't matter. Dahlia will be my Luna, and you hold no value to me." He declares, his voice like a knife through my soul. "Tristian Parker, Alpha of the Moonlight Pack, hereby rejects you, Daisy Summers, as my mate and Luna."
A wave of agony courses through me, causing me to collapse on my knees. Tears roll down my cheeks uncontrollably, while he turns away, indifferent to my pain. I should have known this would happen, knowing our complicated history and his connection with my twin sister, Dahlia, who is the beloved beta in our pack.
"I, Daisy Summers, accept your rejection..." I whisper, trying to find solace in the formal acceptance.
As the black sheep of my family, an omega born into a beta household, I had dreamt of finding love and belonging at eighteen. But now, my mate is the very alpha who torments me, and my heart is shattered by his cruel rejection. The bullying escalates, pushing me to the brink. In this desperate state, I take a bold step, hoping to confront Tristan.
Can love ever bloom between them, or is it too late for us to heal?
