Introduction
"And let me make this clear to you Taylor, if—if at all you have your way with me being your husband...your mate," he corrected.
"I'd make sure I will be with other she-wolves and make sure you feel every pain of betrayal; I'll see to it that you feel how I felt when you killed my Odette," he said, walking closer to me. The back of my throat stung with tears that were already brimming.
Odette has always been the apple of everyone's eyes, even after her death. Meanwhile, Taylor was always overlooked, and hated by everyone. Everyone wished for her death --- including her parents, and Killian, her mate. She never had been loved by anyone, always in her sister's shadow but everything changed after her sister's death. Instead of being simply ignored, she was the object of hate, and to be bullied.
Taylor still bore all the guilt, even though she was the one chosen by the Moon Goddess, until she realised, Killian, who always thought Odette as his future Luna to be his mate turned out to be mated to her! Unable to bear the thought that the mate she always wished for to turn out to be the man, who always hated and taunted her, and even mistaking her for Odette, she was at the breaking point!
Determined, she forced Killian to accept her rejection. But what will happen when Killian realises the truth behind the plot, and instantly regrets it? Will he chase her back? Will Taylor forgive and accept him, or will she never forgive, and be with the man she's destined to be with?
Chapter 1
(Taylor's POV)
“Where's Mrs. Catherine?” I flinched at the sudden question while someone rested her hand on my shoulders.
I was dumbfounded for a while, fearing I had been caught when she repeated again. “Where's Mrs. Catherine?”
“Mrs. Catherine Jones?” I sighed out of relief as I rubbed the tear dripping down my cheeks before turning towards her.
“Yes, the Beta’s wife.”
I smiled and pointed at the distance toward my mom. “Over there.”
“Thank you, Miss…”
“Taylor,” I replied, giving her a polite smile as she nodded and made her way towards my mother. “Taylor Jones,” I murmured, glancing at her as she walked away.
I continued to force a smile while I helped the guests settle down, trying to keep myself busy in this commotion as if I was trying hard to forget about everything.
My eyes glistened with tears as I looked at everyone around me. Everyone was dressed in black, and looked gloomy while some even wailed in silence.
Today was my birthday, my 16th birthday. And, this was supposed to be my birthday celebration. But, now, it has turned into a funeral. The funeral of my older sister, Odette, the favorite child of my parents, and the apple of the pack members’ eyes. Meanwhile, I, the youngest daughter of Beta Elliott, had been forgotten. None of them even remembered my existence, just like that guest.
We were both the Beta’s daughters. I was the youngest daughter but I’ve lived my life like a dead person. We were both their daughters, but I was always ignored while she had always been the center of attention and the heart of the pack. I had always been her shadow.
No one in the pack, and even in this home even remembered the youngest daughter of the Beta, Taylor. It was as if Odette was the main character and I was the supporting character which made her shine.
My birthday was never celebrated, forgotten every time as if I never existed here. This was the first time my birthday was going to be celebrated. And, it was all thanks to my sister, Odette’s engagement. Odette was soon going to be engaged so I was finally allowed to have a celebration. It was going to be the first time but now… Everything has changed. All the decorations and food have been changed and repurposed for my sister's funeral. No one even remembered today was my birthday as well. And, like every other year, even my parents have forgotten about it.
She was the eldest and my parents’ pride and joy but… “What about me?” My thoughts escaped and I unconsciously said it aloud.
My parents turned a strange look around me, raising their eyebrows and frowned.
“What's the matter?”
My lips widened but words kept stuck in my head. My mom frowned, with displeasure written in her face.
“I… Today…” My father crooked his eyebrows when I paused and shook my head, looking down. “It's nothing… Take care of yourself, today.” I murmured when my father turned away, disinterested.
My mother pulled me by my shoulder, looking sternly and warned, “Behave yourself today. Don't cause any trouble. Today is your sister's funeral day.”
“Mom…”
Her gaze turned colder upon hearing me call her. “Remember why this happened to your sister. It's all because of you. Now, just behave yourself well.” Mom warned me for the last time before she turned away and left.
I bit my lips and went away from there to the corner while my mom's words kept repeating in my mind.
A tear escaped from my eyes uncontrollably. My chest felt stuffy, looking at everyone around me. Everyone came here on the day of my birthday but this was for my sister's funeral. Never once has anyone ever celebrated my birthday. It was as if no one ever wished I was born.
My sister was the one who was always looked upto, loved and respected. She was widely recognised to be the mate of the Alpha's son — Killian. She was to-be the future Luna of our pack.
Even though they weren't mated as Odette was yet to turn 20 but everyone assumed she was going to be the future Luna, mated to Killian as if it was very natural. After all, who else except Odette could be the future Luna? Everyone was already preparing for their engagement even before she left for college.
I looked down while recalling Odette’s face. She… Was she really going to be the pack’s Luna, Killian’s future mate? I sighed. Even though no one knew how Odette really was, I knew her well. She… wasn't simple.
I bit my lips as I rubbed my tears off my face. I knew it was pretty to think about all of these at her funeral but even before, when she was here, no one cared for me. And, no one still cares even now.
I frowned, taking a deep breath while I tugged my hair beside my ear. My heart thumped, feeling impatient and frustrated. I looked at everyone coming for my sister's funeral. It was going to be even bigger than the birthday celebration my parents set up for me. Though they even forgot it was my birthday today.
I released a deep breath, trying to hold onto my tears. I didn't want to be this unreasonable and make a scene.
Maybe, just maybe, anyone would still remember that it was my birthday today. Especially my parents. This time they were going to celebrate my birthday. So, they might remember it this time.
“Even if they forget about it this time, it's just because of Odette's death… She was their favorite after all… It's normal if they forgot about it in their sorrows…” I whispered to myself while clenching my fists, trying to sooth myself.
I shouldn't be petty. Today was my sister's funeral.
I put on a painful smile, shaking off my thoughts as I focused on the guests entering.
“I can't let anyone badmouth my parents for my behavior…” I murmured, nodding to myself. This time there were many present, both from the pack and also from other packs. I had to behave for my parents and my pack. And, I can't let my parents worry about me while they're still disheartened…

He used one of his hands to stroke my cheek and tingles erupted everywhere.

Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha
"You want me to fuck you, I know it"
"As much as you don't like me, you're my mate and you can't deny it."
He stood up behind me, one hand holding my hip, and leaned down, his breath ragged against my neck, his voice was husky,
"You'll listen to your body... what it wants... and my body... what it needs. Only the pleasure that a small bite can bring."
At the age of 15, I was shocked to hear the ruthless Alpha claim that I was his mate.

I wanted to pour out my pain, to feel his embrace. But when I saw the WOMAN beside him, I gave up.

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."

His hand is cool when it brushes a loose curl from my cheek, but I don’t jerk away from him. I have no idea what’s going on. I don’t understand why I’m here. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow.
