Episode 2

Aurora felt a force acting like a magnet between her and the Alpha, her body wanted to feel him, their eyes met, it seemed like time had stopped at that moment.

"He is our mate! The Alpha is our destined mate! Isn't that wonderful! A voice kept speaking in the young woman's head."

Eka was nervous, her heart was racing, finally, she had found her so dreamed of mate, and it was him, a handsome and strong man, she admired him for his strength and determination, the Alpha of the Stelar pack.

The moment was interrupted, with Alpha Daimon approaching.

"Lucian! You need to choose your servants better! We have been asking your employee for some appetizers for half an hour, and she has not fulfilled our request. You should do your service better, employee! Daimon speaks with pride and arrogance."

At that moment, Aurora believed that her mate would defend her, and announce to everyone that he had found his mate, the future Luna of the pack, but everything happened the opposite of what she imagined.

"Miss Colton, do your job right, and serve our guests properly! That's an order! Lucian orders."

She was stunned by the words spoken by the Alpha, didn't he feel the same? No, that's impossible! Aurora was confused and disappointed.

Without question, the then-companion of the Alpha, leaves immediately, going towards the table where the family of Alpha Damon were, after serving them, heads to the kitchen, placing the tray on the table, then runs towards the forest, she needed to breathe.

Aurora ran for a few meters still in her human form, she hadn't made the first transformation, the wolf in her head wanted to take over, but her human side wasn't willing.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of some branches breaking, someone was approaching.

That smell... Sandalwood, a citrus scent with insinuating woods, it was him, her mate was very close. Aurora's wolf began to stir, and then he stepped out from behind a tree.

"Miss Colton? What are you doing running away from your chores? You shouldn't be here, but at the party, serving my guests."

"Lucian?"

"I didn't give you the right to call me by my name. Should I remind you that I am your Alpha?"

"But you... We are..."

"We are nothing! Don't think I'm going to claim you as my mate because of this stupid bond! I order you to say nothing to anyone! Or I will be forced to reject you, and banish you from this pack forever. Pull yourself together and get back to work immediately! The Alpha says, walking away afterwards."

Tears start to run down Aurora's face, the day that was supposed to be the happiest of her life, turned into her worst nightmare. Her destined mate doesn't want her, and on top of that, he threatened her. She can't tell anyone that she is the alpha's mate, or she will be rejected, and expelled, condemned to live as a renegade, no other pack could because of the pact of union between them, Aurora would live a life of danger, lonely, without even being able to see my parents.

"He must be confused, our mate didn't reject us. Kyra, her wolf, tries to comfort her."

"No! He hated knowing that we are his mate. He hates me!"

"Don't say that! Please let me out, you need to transform!"

"I don't want to! Didn't you hear our alpha? I need to get back to work."

Aurora returned to the hall to serve the guests, there he was, the one the Moon Goddess chose to be her mate, having fun with another woman, Jasminy White, Alpha Deimon's daughter, maybe she would make a great Luna, so she thought, the two were very close, Lucian was smiling as if nothing had happened.

This couldn't be happening! Aurora Colton couldn't be his destined mate, did the Moon Goddess decide to play a cruel joke? How could she choose such a weak she-wolf to be the Luna of the Star pack? A maid! She didn't even have her first transformation, he can't accept such madness! He is a great alpha! He can choose who will be his Luna and mate, and Aurora Colton has no ability to be the mate of a great alpha like him. So Lucian thought.

After saying what was necessary, he left her in the forest, returning to greet the guests.

Jasminy went to meet the young alpha, she was seductively beautiful, but something bothered Lucian, that insignificant maid wouldn't leave his mind.

His eyes wandered around the room looking for Aurora, it was when he saw her looking at him and Jasminy, the look was one of sadness and disappointment. The Alpha felt a pang in his heart as he realized that he was the cause of that young woman's suffering, what was happening to him?

The party was a real success, and as in previous years, the union between the packs was once again made. Lucian's parents were disappointed to realize that their son had not found his mate, well, that's what they and everyone in the pack thought, and if it's up to the Alpha, it will stay that way.

When the party ends and the guests leave, Aurora returns home, when she is climbing the stairs, Mary surprises her by asking a question:

"Rory, did something happen? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

"I'm sorry, it shouldn't be like this on your birthday."

"It's not your fault, and besides, it's not that important."

"Don't say that, you are very important to us."

Suddenly, the door to our room is thrown open, Kayla, her best friend, enters with a beautiful cake in her hands, singing happy birthday, accompanied by Beta Mason and her father. The girl's eyes shone with so much emotion.

"Happy birthday, Rory!"

Rodolf traded with a friend to be present at his daughter's birthday, Mason and Kayla were present, Mary, her dear mother was smiling as she hugged her daughter.

At that moment, Aurora forgot everything that had happened at the party, for a few minutes. That was her family, they loved her, they made her happy, and this, is my place, it was then that I realized, I am willing to endure anything to be by their side.
