The day I turned 18 was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. The beginning of my future with my mate but it all turned to hell when I was rejected. He wanted someone powerful, someone equal to him. An accessory that could help him gain power...

"Lily as in my best friend Lily?" I asked in disbelief.
My parents both meekly nodded their heads.
Xavier let out an amused laugh "Wait this is fucking hilarious. Wow from the people I have met so far here and learned this, Dark Moon is kind of a fucked up pack."
I pointedly looked at him and he said putting his hands up "What. Tell me I am wrong."
Even in this fucked up situation Xavier let out a joke to lighten up the mood. Between him and Aiden, I could always count on them to be my hidden saviors. They both show to the world their happy and playful sides but when you mess with the people they care about they like me will raise hell for the people we care about. The three of us have bonded in our mournful pasts, like me, Xavier lost his mate in a rogue attack a few years before I had arrived. With the losses of our mates and Aiden's parents, we used our losses to better the pack. After all, our pack didn't become one of the best warrior packs for no reason.
Breaking out of my thoughts I gave him a smirk and said to him "Nah you're right."
Going back to my parents I asked "How the hell did she become Luna after I left."
My dad started to explain "The entire pack after you left felt the bond break so the next day a meeting was held. Your mom and I couldn't really concentrate since we were so distraught at the time of why you left. On the day of the meeting, Alpha Axel revealed the reason for your departure with no shame. God Ana, the times I wanted to snap that boy's neck for what he did to you. Anyway, a few weeks after that meeting we were called for another one. This time we all learned that the new alpha had chosen a mate. The day of the meeting they hadn't revealed the identity of Axel's mysterious mate yet but the day she became Luna the pack was surprised knowing the connection between you and Lily. The same day I had lost control of my wolf since he was restless that his pup was missing and the bastard that hurt her heart was getting a happily ever after."
Mom continued "Your father was in the underground dungeons for a week with the cause of attacking an alpha. We never really spoke to Lily or the rest of your friends due to their betrayal towards you."
"Wait Grey, Reed, and Ruby were all ok with this?" I asked.
Mom nodded and said, "All of them were completely on board with Lily and Axel's mating."
Once my parents finished my anger started to skyrocket. Lily and I had been friends for a very long time before I had left, so why had she betrayed me? Was it for power, money, or status? My mind couldn't comprehend my best friend that I had shared my longing for a mate had betrayed me. We had always talked about saving ourselves for our mates and giving them our all. So why had Lily not waited for our mates as we had planned? Was she always so power-hungry and I was just blinded by my love for her as a friend? And how had she gotten the rest of my old friends on board with this betrayal? All I know is that in my time in Dark Moon I was going to get the answers I needed.
