The Mate He Never Expected: His Crazy Obsession

Priya's pov,

My heart raced as I stood in the middle of the pack hall, and was surrounded by almost everyone in the Defanly pack.

Even my family was present. My father, and my two elder brothers, Kingsley and Dylan.

Their gazes were piercing as they stared at me without hiding their hatred.

They did not even try to hide the contempt they had for me.

I lowered my head to the ground because I felt greatly intimidated and confused.

My hands gripped my trouser tightly, and I could hear the sound that my own heart made as it beat fast against my chest.

I had been summoned here to the pack hall by my Alpha mate, Hunter. I had come with anticipation, thinking that he was finally ready to tell everyone that he was going to make me his official Luna.

It happened three years ago, when I was eighteen years old and my wolf had newly awakened.

Hunter happened to be celebrating his coronation as the Alpha's new heir.

You see, Hunter was not the first born of the Alpha.

The first born had died four years ago, and the next year, Hunter was named the Alpha's heir, even though he was the third son of the Alpha.

According to what I knew and what everyone knew, the second child of the Alpha was a lady, and here in our Defanly pack, it was a taboo to let a woman become the Alpha.

She could only become Luna, but Paige stepped down, as she didn't want to marry.

Everyone thought that she was a crazy werewolf for doing something unreasonable like that, but I knew the main reason behind why she did that.

Ever since I existed in this pack, everyone was indifferent towards me, but the only person who was not bothered by my presence was Paige. The Alpha's second child.

Before she ran away from the pack three years ago, she told me that she had her reasons. That she didn't want to be trapped. I have not heard anything from her ever since then.

She was not even there during Hunter's coronation.

Neither was she there when the moon goddess at last answered my request for a mate during the same coronation day.

But I never knew that my mate would end up being Hunter, with everyone being a witness to that moment, including Kingsley and Dylan.

That day, which was supposed to be the special day of my life, ended up being my worst nightmare.

I was a mate to the person who hated and despised me, and he never tried to hide it.

I thought he was going to reject me at that moment. At that spot. But surprisingly, that never happened.

That gave me hope and made me become delusional and helplessly in love.

In my mind and in my heart, I believed deep within me that our mate's bond was very strong, and that he actually cared for me. That was
