prologue

"Are you insane?!" I scream at my father, he just looks at me with a look that can freeze over molten lava.

"You should be honored."

"Honored to be what?" I cry, this cannot be happening. I can't believe my father would do this to me, my whole life I've relied on the idea of finding my mate and finally earning someone's respect. Yet my father won't allow it.

"You listen to me Isabelle, you should feel very special the Alpha chose you." The look in his eyes scares me, the determination and the coldness chills me.

"I don't want to be Luna! I want to be mated to my mate not some Alpha who's twenty years older than me."

"Thats not how it works, your mother isn't my mate but I'm still happy" I scoff at my fathers poor example. Not only do my parents constantly fight they both have so many different bed partners I'm surprised they still remember each other.

"This is the only pack in the country who doesn't allow werewolves to find their true mates." I growl at my father, what right does he have?

"You truly are delusional if you believe in mates, no Alpha of this pack has ever found their mate."

"Dad! We go to a school with three other packs, they are all able to find their mates."

My father spits in my face, "do you think if you ever found your mate he would want you? What I have been telling you your whole life?"

I glare at the floor stubbornly focusing on memories of my father before he changed.

"What have I been telling you?" His voice is tight and I can tell he's about to crack. "WHAT HAVE I BEEN TELLING YOU?"

"If my mate ever found me he wouldn't want someone as weak as me, I should be happy anyone wants me."

"See, that wasn't so hard."

"Its not true!" I cry out tears streaming down my cheeks.

My father gives me a pitiful look, "oh Isabelle there is so much you don't know. Not only are you the weakest member of this pack you are ugly and a burden to us all." He smiles as he tells me and I feel my heart break for millionth time, those words. The ones I've heard my whole life still hurt just as much as they did when I was five.

I look down at myself slightly disgraced, my blonde hair in pigtails. I'd even managed to plait one of them. Slowly I ran my finger over the scar, carved onto my right cheek a prize, a mark. Dressed from head-to-toe in blue I let my tears fall.

"If I'm a burden then why would the Alpha want me? If I'm so ugly why would he mate with me?" I ask as a small shred of hope grows inside me, maybe my father is wrong.

"You are the daughter of a Beta and despite you weak frame you are born to lead."

"I won't mate him."

"You have no choice my dear Isabelle, this is your pack, you will obey the rules and as your father and Beta of the 'Dark Sky Pack' I order you to mate with your Alpha. If not for your good then for mine."

I stare up at my father and finally see him, truly see him. Not the man that raised me like I could do anything or be anyone, but the man who he really his. The one who will blindly follow his Alpha even if it means throwing his family under the bus, the man who's obsession with power has finally eaten him alive and left nothing of the man I called my father. Instead stands a cruel heartless man who cares none of who he hurts as long as there's something in it for him.

"N-No." I say clenching my fists as tears streak down my face.

My father turns away from with an angry look in his eyes, "you still have six years until your sixteenth birthday the day you will commit yourself to our Alpha. There is no other option, I just thought I would inform you of your fate." His cold voice breaks my heart as I fall to my knees. "And Isabelle," I look up hope evident in my eyes. "If you ever yell or raise your voice at me again there will be serious consequences."
