The Alphas Touched Mate

I never imagined that falling for Anthony Johnson would bring me such immense heartache. We were officially paired together for the past five years, and today, on my 21st birthday, during the pack celebration, I was standing by his side at the event. Suddenly, I heard Anthony's clear voice rise above the crowd, and as he stood up, a young woman approached him, her wolf calling out, "Mate." In response, Anthony's wolf echoed, "Mate," and in that moment, my world crumbled, leaving me weak-kneed and collapsing to the ground. My friends rushed to assist me, and as I struggled to regain my composure, a terrible realization washed over me – choice is not within our control in matters of the heart. This is my punishment for believing I had a say when I never truly had one. Oh, Goddess Moon, what have I done to deserve such a painful awakening? Tears streaming down my face, I cried out, questioning my fate.
