My Adopted Sister Stole My Mate

I was the true-born Luna heir, mistakenly switched at birth, while another had been raised in my place. When I was thirteen, my birth pack found me, bringing me home after a lifetime of being misplaced. But instead of the happiness I deserved, I was met with nothing but betrayal.

My birth parents favored their adopted daughter over me. My destined Alpha was stolen by my so-called sister. The Beta mate who saved me from despair turned out to be part of a carefully laid scheme.

Unloved by my own parents. Provoked by my sister. Abandoned by my Alpha. Deceived by my Beta. Happiness was never meant for me—so why should any of you have it?

Since I can't have it, I choose to leave;

On the night before my fated mating ceremony, I was abducted, degraded, and subjected to two nights of relentless torment.

When my pack finally ransomed me back, the healer delivered a cruel verdict—I might never bear pups.

Without hesitation, my powerful Alpha mate abandoned me, turning instead to the Luna heir who had replaced me—Thalia Lovell.

Whispers spread like wildfire, poisoning every corner of the pack.

Drowning in despair, I sought an escape, choosing to end my suffering in the depths of the river.

As the icy water closed over me, darkness creeping in, a figure plunged in after me—Beta Corwin Graves, my mate’s younger brother. He fought against the raging current, risking his life to pull me back.

He swore to claim me as his mate, to stand by me, to cherish me forever.

Moved beyond words, I accepted his vow.

Two years passed, and against all odds, I discovered I was with child. Overcome with joy, I rushed to share the news with Corwin.

But just as I stepped forward, their hushed voices reached my ears.

"Thalia lost control and sent rogues after Selene that night."

"Thankfully, you paid a fortune to silence them and protect Thalia’s name."

"And you still took Selene as your mate, knowing she might never bear an heir. We’ve thought it through—"

"You cannot be the last of your bloodline, Corwin. Thalia’s first pup will take the Alpha’s title, but the second heir must come from you."

Corwin’s voice, low and weighted, cut through the tension.

"That won’t be necessary. My brother’s pup will be the sole heir of this pack. As long as Thalia is happy, that’s all that matters to me."

"And Selene… I will spend my life atoning for what she’s lost."

A sickening chill spread through my bones. My breath turned shallow, my body shaking uncontrollably.

So the one who orchestrated my abduction—the one who condemned me to suffering—was my own pack sister, Thalia.

And Beta Corwin… the male who had pulled me from despair… had done so only to shield her crimes.

Even my own blood—my parents—had chosen her
