My Life, My Choice

In a world where werewolves roam, Chloe, burdened by the tragic loss of her parents and ostracized by her own pack, including her once-loving brother, finds her last hope shattered when her destined mate brutally rejects her. Broken but not defeated, she makes a desperate choice: to leave everything behind and face the harsh unknown as a rogue wolf. Will she find strength and belonging, or will the wilderness consume her?

The throbbing ache in your back is a constant reminder of last night's beating, a dull counterpoint to the sharper sting of betrayal in your chest. You limp back to the cramped space you call a room, the scent of blood and silver clinging to your skin. Another day, another round of abuse. You need to clean your wounds, but the pack will expect dinner soon. Failure to comply means worse pain. Sometimes, you think it would be easier not to wake up.

You remember the forest, the screams, the blood. Your parents, gone in a flash of fur and teeth. Your pack's faces, twisted with blame.

Later, you walk the familiar halls, mind drifting to the mate you've never met. What would he be like? Just as you round a corner, you collide with something solid. Sparks erupt, a jolt of recognition searing through you. Your inner wolf cries out one word: "MATE!"

You look up, hope surging, only to have it brutally crushed. It's James, the Alpha's son. And his beautiful green eyes hold only contempt. His words, sharp and cruel, shatter the last remnants of your heart. He rejects you, calls you weak and ugly, unworthy of being his Luna. As he walks away, leaving you crumpled on the floor, you realize there's nothing left for you here. It's time to leave.
