Chapter 1

Lilith could remember when her life had changed. From being the odd bubbly werewolf to being turned into a hybrid and falling in love with one that saved her life. When she was left rejected, broken-hearted, and dying, that all happened on her eighteen birthday. Talk about one hell of a birthday; Lilith could remember it perfectly. Demien, her older brother, age twenty-five, is the beta and second in command in the blood moon pack, one of the pack's best since their father. Some say that Demien has an eccentric and weird demeanor, but despite that, he is not easily fooled. He is sometimes called abnormal. According to his ex-girl, his mate Angel says he's a "creative, fun spirit."

Damien had also changed from the Carefree, fun Spirit to a very cold-hearted sarcastic bastard. There is Cora, age twenty, who is mated to Demien. Cora is an extremely warm individual gifted with the ability to love the people around her passionately. She has always had strong maternal instincts, and Cora is very kind and gentle. The people around her are genuinely drawn to her gentle personality. Those always made birthdays memorable by making her favorite breakfast or surprising her during either lunch or dinner with presents. It was her 18th birthday, the day she would find her soulmate, or so she was told, but that was a problem for another day. 

After saying goodbye to her older brother and sister-in-law, Lilith made her way to school. The walk toward Lichen Hill High was nice and quiet. Lilith took her chance and looked at the scenery, noticing that the leaves had changed colors from vivid green to light orange-yellow signifying that fall had reached their door. She couldn't help but smile; fall was always her favorite season; it reminded her of her parents. Her father's wolf, from his Dark Autumn fur, always seems to be in place in the frost. At the same time, her mother was Kincha Brown, who always seemed to be in the fall. So lost in her thought, Lilith didn't notice that she was being watched. 

Lilith’s eyes widened when she heard the deep, amused tone of someone chuckling. Looking up at the person, Lilith couldn't help but blush. This man was gorgeous; his raven black hair, beautiful, unique eyes, and that very well-toned body would get any girl swooning. Snapping out of whatever daze she was in, Lilith apologized, only to have the man chuckle it off and say, "It's okay. It's not every day that a cute girl bumps into me. They both seem to hear the school bell going off in the distance. He smirked as he looked at Lilith. “By the sound of the bell, there is no doubt that you're in a hurry. I suggest you head towards school, sweetheart, if you don't want to be late." The man whispered in Lilith's ear teasingly, causing her to let out a small eep and jump away from the man, who just chuckled at her reaction and began to walk away.

Lilith couldn't help but glare in annoyance as she continued toward school. Lilith ignored the popular kids, and their groupies did not want to deal with them, and headed straight to her locker. The bell rang, indicating that students only had five minutes before the first class started. Lilith was just getting her books from her locker, attempting to go unnoticed. “Move your dumbass out of my way, Brookes,” Brittany sneered, shoving Lilith into the lockers. The sound of Lilith’s body colliding could be heard throughout the hall. 

This caused Lilith to growl menacingly at the girl, who cowered back slightly, knowing that Lilith was trained by her late father and was physically stronger than her. Brittany was the so-called queen bee of the school; Lilith didn't know why or how she got the title. Everyone feared her because she was dating the soon-to-be Alpha Oscar Barlowe, who, by the way, is the largest Douchebag on the face of the earth.

 Lilith didn't care as she walked towards her class, leaving the queen bee and her clique behind gobsmacked. Lilith took her seat at the back of her first-period course and tried to tune out the grating voices around her. Only to smile when her best friend Dimitri sat down next to her and whispered. “Hey, Lilith, did you hear the latest rumor?” Lilith shook her head and said, “No, I haven't; what is it?” With that, Dimitri told Lilith about the son of an Alpha who was exiled from his pack by his father's order and wandered around the nearby territories. This Alpha is a real piece of work, hazardous, and enjoys hurting others.

Lilith was about to ask more when she was suddenly assaulted with a foreign scent… it was the most beautiful thing she'd ever smelled, and it was coming closer! This caused her inner wolf to howl and enjoy finding the scent of their mate. For some reason, Lilith had to resist the urge to howl in joy as the lovely aroma strengthened.  'Oh please,' She thought as the scent moved further down the hall without coming into her class. 'Please come back!' When the teacher entered and closed the door, Lilith almost got up to follow the euphoric smell. Resisting the urge to kill the poor woman for blocking her from her desire, Lilith regained her scowl and tried to pay attention to the useless lecture.

Lilith could not focus on her classes as her inner wolf was always jumping and howling, enjoying finding the scent of their meat. But that wasn't the only reason why she couldn't focus. She kept thinking about the mysterious Alpha who was exiled from his pack. Lilith didn't notice the bell ringing signifying the class was over, and lunch had just started. Quickly grabbing her books and her bag, Lilith headed toward the cafeteria.

 Lilith growled under her breath as she walked out of the class and through the hall. To get to the cafeteria to grab something to eat.  Where she accidentally ran to Brittany and her little group once again. Brittany had Platinum blonde hair and muddy brown eyes that always looked brutal. Her face was caked with makeup like always.

 Lilith let out a sigh and muttered to herself. “This is what I  don't need right now,” trying to walk around Brittany and her followers. 

“Not so fast, Loser. I’m not done with you.” she started, pushing Lilith back and causing her to fall into someone.

Sparks flew all over her body as soon as she made contact with the person. Lilith turned around and saw the last person she ever expected to see, Oscar Barlowe. “You're my mate,” Lilith stated, In disbelief and horror.

All the wolves from the pack near us stopped what they were doing with gasps of disbelief. Not a single wolf could understand why Lilith, the odd, quirky girl, could be the soon-to-be luna of their pack.

“ What did you just say, you little bitch!” Brittany screeched.  Lilith turned towards her and gave her a look saying are you that stupid?  “I asked if we are mates,” Lilith answered while I looked at Oscar. She realized the scent she smelled earlier was coming off him, but that didn't matter as  Lilith got a better look at Oscar and Boy. He looked pissed and disgusted that she would even say that.

“We are not Mates. I would never be mates with an ugly, worthless excuse for a wolf. I don’t know who would even consider accepting a loser like you. I, Oscar Barlowe, soon to be alpha of the Dark Moon pack, Reject you, Lilith Brookes, as my Luna  and my mate.” Everyone around her started laughing as he walked past Lilith and into Brittany's arms. The entire team quickly tried to make his way to his best friend, who looked to be on the verge of tears, but he wasn't fast enough as  Lilith promptly made her way out of the school building.

 Not caring about the weather and how bad editions  Lilith needed to get out of there and fast, not noticing or caring that Dmitri was calling for her As he ran after her but lost her due to the heavy rain. Dimitri was worried for his best friend as he went back inside the cafeteria, glaring at Oscar, the soon-to-be Alpha, and saying with a voice filled with hatred. “I hope you're proud of what you have just done. Do you realize that Lilith was the daughter of your father's beta, the strongest warrior in the pack, or did you forget that Lilith was part of the family Pack's strongest Warriors and Hunters, and let's not forget your soon-to-be beta is her brother?” 

Oscar paled dramatically as he just realized what he'd just done, and there was going to be a massive shitstorm when Damian found out what he did to his little sister. Every member of the pack who laughed at Louis Misfortune just realized the deep shit they got themselves into no doubt that Damon will make their lives a living hell for what they have done to his precious little sister, the only family he has left.

Well, the pack and the soon-to-be Alpha realized the trouble they had just gotten into. On the other hand, Lilith was running through the forest in tears, ignoring the pouring rain soaking her to the bones. A burning pain went through her heart as it shattered. No matter much much she didn’t like him or want him as a mate, he was still her mate. Lilith's wolf was howling in pain at her mate leaving her. This experience was nothing like her parents had described finding their mates. Then again, they didn't go through the experience of set mates rejecting them for the pack's slut.

         Lilith didn't understand why this happened to her and why she deserved this kind of pain, but she could never get the answer as she continued running through the rain, not noticing a speeding car heading straight toward her. By the time she heard the honking of the vehicle, it was too late. Lilith was struck down by the speeding vehicle. She could not see it due to the rain and her tears, which were highly careless of her; she was a werewolf and couldn't hear the vehicle coming.  Lilith couldn’t do anything as she lay on the road bleeding out. She could listen to the voices of the two men  in the car and say, “hey, we hit her!” Lilith noticed that this was terrible, really bad. Hoping that they would take her to the hospital, but her hopes were in vain as she heard what they said next, Sending dread into her heart “it's okay, nobody saw us.” 

“Let's get out of here.. Hurry,” one of the men said as they both ran back into the car and left. Lilith’s mind went into Panic along with her inner wolf. No way, a  hit and run, please wait, don't leave me here. We're Lilith's last thoughts as her blood that was being washed away by the rain. This couldn't be the end? The sound of footsteps with only thing that  Lilith could hear was a person who was standing right in front of her looking down at her dying body.

 His glowing crimson and Amber eyes were the only things Lilith could see correctly. As he said in a monotone voice. “you're going to die; you know there's nothing to fear”  Who is this? Lilith thought as the man stared down at her and continued, “death can be something pleasantly warm if you welcome it.” this was the last thing Lilith could hear before She lost consciousness.
