"Rayne stood looking at her reflection in the mirror. Her a pale green ballgown clung to her curves and left little to the imagination. Her jet-black curls are swept up and pinned to her head, leaving her neck exposed. Tonight was the night that most of the unmated wolves in all the North American packs would hopefully find their mates. She was sure all of them were just oozing with excitement.
She was not.
She didn’t want a mate. She didn’t need a mate...."
“...but the sudden scent of jasmine and vanilla hit her nose from somewhere close. That meant only one thing. Her mate was near..."
Rayne met her mate at the Moonlight Ball when she was eighteen, her mate that she never wanted to find, that she never wanted in her life. He showed up out of nowhere. His actions that night unknowingly set her free. She took the freedom he gave her, ran away, and never once looked back.
Now five years later he shows back up in her life after rejecting her five years ago, demanding that she take up her rightful place by his side. He walked away from her after calling her weak. No way was she going to just let him back into her life as if he belonged there. Rayne never wanted a mate, would he being here now change that? Her body and soul beg for him to claim her, yet her heart belongs to another.
Can her mate convince her to give him a chance? Will her lover convince her to stay with him? The Moon Goddess paired her with someone not of her choice, all Rayne has ever wanted was the chance to choose for herself. Who will win? Rayne or the fate that the moon set for her?

Also why didn't his wolf knew the child wasn't there, normally both parents scents will come from said child. Did she B.I.T.C.H used witchcraft on him or what

I know all books is different, but most ones I read said you can only get your true mate pregnant, and it might happen once in a blue moon to get something (not really a blue moon) just an old saying, not you mate pregnant. But this Alpha was so p.ussy whipped he ignored everyone who was telling him about the thirsty wh.ore and know the fu.cker what back his mate he left in the dirt l😡😡 personal if me were her I kicking him in his d.ick and reject his sorry a.ss
