Too Late Alpha I’m Already Claimed

Alpha Damon was an exiled monster, feared for his cruelty. He chose Selena—an omega from a worthless pack—as his mate.

There was just one problem.

Our Mating Ceremony, mine and my fated mate Alpha Ethan's, was set for the same day.

When Ethan found out, he vanished for three days.

I found him just in time to overhear his plan.

"At the Mating Ceremony, I'll fake a sign from the Moon Goddess. I'll make it look like she rejected Elara."

"Pack law will force her onto that pathetic excuse for a brother, Damon. Then Selena won't have to mate with him."

"An outcast like Damon doesn't deserve a true Alpha's fated mate. Once Selena is safe, I’ll just take Elara back."

My heart turned to stone.

He was throwing me to a monster to save another woman.

And he thought he could just take me back?

Fine. I would play along with his little scheme.

But once his little show was over, I'd be gone for good.

Except when Ethan came to "rescue" me, he found Damon's mark burned into my neck.

That's when he finally broke.

The night before our Mating Ceremony, my fated mate was plotting my public rejection. He planned to throw me to his exiled brother, the monster, Alpha Damon.

All because he’d heard Damon had chosen his childhood sweetheart, Selena, as his mate.

Ethan finished explaining his plan. His Beta rushed out of the meeting room, never noticing me in the shadows.

“No, Ethan, I can’t let you take this risk for me.”

A soft, female voice drifted through the crack in the door.

It was trembling, on the verge of tears.

It froze me in place.

Selena.

She was here, too.

“Listen to me,” Ethan’s voice was softer than I’d ever heard it. “Faking the Goddess's rejection with a shadow rune... it's a risk I'm willing to take. I'll do anything to save you from my brother's clutches.”

“But shadow runes are too dangerous! If you’re caught, you’ll lose everything!”

“I don’t care.”

“But I do!” Selena’s voice cracked with a sob. “Ethan, you’re the future Alpha King. You can't throw that away for an Omega like me. I'd rather die than see you get hurt.”

My nails dug into my palms. The sharp sting was nothing compared to the numbness in my chest.

What a performance. What a touching sacrifice.

So in love.

But no one cared about me—the pawn they were about to sacrifice.

I am the last of the ancient Silver Wolf bloodline—the only hope for the future and strength of his entire pack.

According to the generational marriage pact between our packs, it was my destiny to become his Luna, to bear the pack's strongest heir.

And Alpha Damon was Ethan's half-brother.

Damon's mother was a half-breed. He was an outcast from birth.

But his raw power terrified the pack. Before exiling him, the former Alpha created the “Exile’s Blood Pact.”

If the new Alpha—Ethan—publicly rejected his fated mate at
