Avery Eris had been doomed as her pack's omega the moment her best friend Catherine died. Catherine wasn't Kael's mate, Avery was. But Avery accepted the fact that Cath became Kael's life even before he found his true mate. She freely accepted Kael's rejection when his 18th birthday came and found out that Avery was the one destined for him. Avery, being a mate, knew that she should do everything to make her partner happy and she did so, supporting Cath and Kael's relationship all throughout-without any hard feelings. But when a rogue attack came, Cath protected Avery and died in her place. Cath had already had in her mind that Avery should survive, being the future alpha-female of the Starfire pack and her beloved's true mate. [FULL SUMMARY INSIDE] Not your common rejection story.. *wink**wink* XD hope you like it~!
