Cursed By Fate: The Cruel Alpha’s Mate

Skylar's povMother had said we were all born for purpose but I was born to die.I was not supposed to live but the consequences of my father's action changed my life forever.It all began on the 26th of May in the Year of the Moon. The summer I turned 18, I was told I was going to die.In the fields, a few of the maids and I harvested oats, strawberries, avocados, peas and some green. Our harvest every year was always bountiful and we were always at the top of highest producers. However, this feat was not achieved easily. The last 5 years and the year before was hell for us.The SilverMoon had lost her Luna and I had lost my mother but my father lost a part of himself. He would ramble from place to place sobbing and calling for mother, his voice wailing loudly in the wind.The pack’s priestess had ruled him incompetent to rule and the throne was vacant.

Alpha Devon's scent filled the air of the carriage and I basically breathed it in.He was my mate. It was undebatable. My wolf had sniffed him but how?

Ugh, thinking about it was giving me a migraine.“Can you stop doing that?” I heard him ask and turned to face him.“Doing what?” I asked, confused. The only thing I was doing was breathing.
