Second Chance Mate
"I, Spencer Austin Smith, alpha of the Silver Bear Tribe, reject you, Austin Justine Stephens, as my mate and Luna of this pack. I relieve you of all your duties as 'Luna'."
Tears streamed down my face as I stared down at the floor. I didn't have to see his face to know what he was feeling, I could feel the disgust rolling off him in waves.
I slowly turned towards the door, and began to walk out. I glanced back and tried my best to rein in my sobs.
"I, Austin Justine Stephens, accept your, Spencer Austin Smith's, rejection as your mate and Luna of your pack."
I ran down the hallway, ignoring the disgusted glares from others nearby. As I made my way outside, I thought back to the look on his face. I thought I saw a hint of surprise and regret when I accepted his rejection, but I'll never know for sure.

Austin Justine Stephens is the son of the Silver Bear Tribe's Beta, Alvin Stephens. His father's title should have every pack member respecting him, but there's just one tiny problem: Austin is the Omega.
Because of his status in the pack, and some very unfortunate events, Austin is horribly mistreated. His mother died during child birth, resulting in everyone blaming him.
Shunned by everyone, he anxiously awaits his eighteenth birthday so that he may find his mate and hopefully escape the hell he calls life. He lives and breathes for the day he finds his mate, hoping that someday someone will come and save him.
His mate, Spencer Austin Smith, immediately rejects him, humiliating him in front of the entire school. As these books go, he leaves the pack, but takes his brother (Jared Alexander Stephens, who is nine) with him. He leaves only a single note for his father, explaining why they had to go.
Maybe fate isn't so cruel, maybe there is something greater in store for our little Austin.
[ON HOLD]
"I smelled your heat even from afar," he smirked. "Don't you feel mine? That primal hunger that's making you wish to tear my clothes off right now-"
"Shut up!"

I have never left Mistwood, the small, suffocating town that's been my prison for as long as I can remember. My family's tight grip kept me under lock and key, terrified that their only wolf child without a calling might not survive beyond our borders. So, I accepted that my life would always be painfully human.
Then everything changed. My father arranged my mating with Alpha Knox, the powerful, commanding leader of a neighboring pack. He claims to be my fated mate, the key to unlocking my transformation. But I refuse to accept this destiny and run, desperate to escape.
Stumbling into Alpha Khaos's territory, the notorious leader of the Eclipse Pack, I feel the electrifying pull of the mate bond for the first time. Khaos is dangerous and irresistible, with an intensity that makes my pulse race. Held captive by his raw power, I confront the untamed desires surging within me.
Now, I must decide if I can embrace my true nature or remain bound by my human fears.
