The Alpha King's Omega

"I, Alpha King, Xavier Romano, hereby reject Artemis Nightshade Black as my soulmate. From this point onwards, we are strangers and nothing was ever between us." I fall down to my knees, clutching my chest as pain, unbearable as it can get, tears through me. Tears stream down my face and my sobs echo throughout the deserted hallway; he left.

According to werewolf law, every werewolf of mating age is obliged to attend The Mating Ball, which The Royal Family hosts every year for werewolves to find their mates. If one person doesn't attend, the person in charge of them is punished.

All Artemis wants is to be free and get away from her abusive pack. She longs for a mate. A mate to protect and cherish her, to love her unconditionally despite her scars and bruises, to care for her and to tend to hear needs. A mate she won't have for a very long time.

All Xavier ever wants is to not find his mate. He enjoys his youth, and enjoys being single. Not having to be tied down to any random woman and tend to her every command. If he were to get a mate, she better be beautiful, of high social status, and perfect in every possible way. His wish is granted, but it's disguised under layers of dark pasts, scarred skin, caliginous mysteries, and a trail of broken hearts and shattered pieces of a girl, who is more than what reaches the surface.
