My fingers rubbed gentle circles on my neck to soothe the pain Osiris left as a parting gift. Since Ariel left me, my healing is slower than normal, but that didn’t matter.

That slithering bastard tricked me!

Osiris promised if I helped him, I’d get what I wanted. Jumping at the chance to help the devil proved to be my undoing because he left me nothing! All I wanted was my Alpha’s heart–is that too much to ask for?! Neron’s heart was mine from the beginning; it’s not fair that a former slave has more rights over it than me!

How long have I coveted for that treasure? The prized diamond was unmatched to the hearts of man. Ever since I laid my eyes on the handsome heir, my heart knew it belonged to him. Love at first sight, as the humans say. When Neron needed comfort, I became his confidant. A heart needed mending, and I had the needle and thread. From there, our bond grew from friends to lovers. Beauty is in the beholder’s eye.

Neron was the first person to claim and protect my heart. His eyes were only for me and we were deeply in love with each other. Goddess, I loved him so much. No other she–wolf could compete with the Alpha’s partner! Fury and jealousy raged from those dumb females for days, but I didn’t care.

I got what everyone wanted.

Until she came in and ruined everything!

Every damn thing was about that pitiful avatar. There’s not a damn thing special about her.

Kiya was more of an annoyance when we were younger; always vying for her sister’s attention like a mosquito to a lightbulb. I came to Zircon Moon with nothing under the care of my aunt. Goddess rest her soul. The brat was the first to welcome me with that bubbly smile, along with that high–pitched voice. Kiya was sweet, but I was drawn to kids my age. That’s how Raina and I became friends–because we shared common interests and were closer in age.

Along the way, I met Neron. My childlike heart thudded like a drum when he gave me that sweet, boyish smile. He treated me with kindness–Neron made me feel like I was worth something. My crush on him developed instantly. In our private world, it’s just me and him. The soon–to–be Alpha and his precious arm- candy next to him.

I had it all figured out. I had to make Neron fall in love with me. Terrified I was, I prayed to the Moon Goddess every night in hopes he’d be my destined mate. We looked beautiful together, so why not?

Devastation couldn’t describe the hurt when we realized we weren’t destined to be. But he made a promise to me that no matter what, I would always be the one for him. And I believed him because I was head over heels for my powerful Alpha. No matter how cruel he was, he’d made me feel important.
