Chosen Mate

The soft glow of the lamp on your bedside table illuminates the dark-decorated room, casting an ethereal light. You sit before the mirror, elegant and lost in thought, your fingers tracing the beautiful diamond necklace around your neck. Your life feels like a whirlwind, a stark contrast to the quiet peace you’ve always desired.

Your parents, the Royal Beta and his mate, have always dictated your life, pushing you towards a future you don’t want. "As if they will ask about want we want," Sharon, your wolf, scoffs in your mind-link, sensing your distress. "And, You knew that I will always stand by you no matter what, so stop thinking about them," she adds, trying to comfort you.

"I know that thank you, Sharon," you reply softly, standing up to leave. Just as you reach the door, you run into your mother, Elena.

"Are you ready for the party?" she asks, her tone impatient. You force a smile. "Yes, Mom."

Together, you walk to the living room where your father, James, waits. "Let's go, or else we'll be late for the party," he says gruffly. The evening of the Prince's mate selection has arrived, and your fate is about to be sealed.
