— Chapter 1 Right before our Mating Ceremony, my mate, Damien, said he needed to mark another she-wolf, Omega Seraphina-the one who’d supposedly saved his life. “T have to give Seraphina a temporary mark. She’s dying, Isla. The Moon Sickness is eating her alive.” Damien’s gaze was heavy on me. I stopped mixing the moon petal elixir in my hands. It was for our Mating Ceremony, said to make the mate bond even stronger. And now, he wanted me to accept him marking another woman.

It won’t affect our bond. In a month, everything will be back to normal.” —- Then he stormed out, slamming the door.

My whole body went numb. Damien got out of the passenger seat and gently helped a delicate, fragile figure out of the car. Seraphina. She looked so pale, like a strong gust of wind could knock her over. Damien’s arm was wrapped around her waist, a protective gesture that sent a wave of nausea through me.
“Watch the steps,” he said, his voice so gentle it made me want to scream. It was a tone he had never once used with me. I watched them walk into the building and get on the elevator.
