Farewell Forever: Be With the Mate You Want

"Selene, your bloodline is too lowly. You don't deserve to be a Luna! You must let your Alpha mark his sister-in-law!"

My mother-in-law despises me because I'm a lowly Omega.

When my mate's brother dies in an accident, my mother-in-law wants me to allow my mate, Eugene Latham, to have pups with his sister-in-law, Kristy Unwin, because of her superior bloodline. Otherwise, Eugene will lose his right to become Alpha!

He wraps his arms around me and says, "You're the only one in my heart, but you need to understand that the pack can't go without an Alpha. I'll announce to everyone that you're my Luna once Kristy's pregnant and I become Alpha, okay?"

I love him deeply, so I believe his lies. However, when Eugene goes from sleeping with Kristy once a month to sleeping with me once a month, I realize he's no longer my mate.

When Kristy announces that she's pregnant and that she and Eugene are going to get married, I'm the only one who's kept in the dark.

My heart shatters into pieces when I see the glimmering Luna's ring on her finger. I'm in so much pain that I can't breathe.

If this is what Eugene wants, I'll fake my death and leave him. I won't ever return.

My sister-in-law, Kristy Unwin, lounged lazily in the arms of my mate, Eugene Latham. She lifted her hand and admired the precious moonstone ring on her finger.

Her gaze flitted to me for a moment. Then, she put on a conflicted expression and said, "This ring is the Nightwind pack's heirloom. Only a Luna can wear it. Technically, this should be given to Eugene's true mate. But you gave it to me. Wouldn't Selena be upset?"

My mother-in-law, Grace Wilson, laughed and said, "She's just a lowly werewolf, so she doesn't have any right to be angry. The others in the pack have long wanted you to be the next Luna. Now that you're carrying the pup with Alpha bloodline, you're the only rightful Luna."

No one cared what I thought.

I looked down at my bare ring finger and didn't know what to say. Tears welled up in my eyes.

Finally, Eugene noticed me standing to the side. He let go of Kristy and gently took my hand.

His touch was tender, but I could smell the sickly-sweet scent of wine mixed into his usual woody musk. That scent belonged to Kristy.

I held my breath as he explained, "Ever since my brother passed away, Kristy's been deeply unsettled. Moonstone has calming properties, so I let her wear the ring. You don't mind, do you?"

I pressed my lips tightly together and said nothing, staying silent to show my disapproval.

How could a woman not mind her husband giving a ring to another woman? It was even worse when that particular ring symbolized the Luna's status.

I found it unacceptable.

Upon seeing my reaction, Kristy rolled her eyes and immediately made a great show of
