When Alpha Ryan Nightbloom decided to make me the Luna of the StoneCreek Pack, the entire pack rose up against him.   "Sia hasn't awakened her wolf soul. She's nothing but a useless cripple. What makes her worthy of becoming Luna?"   "Ryan's judgment is awful. Laura, who just came back after studying medicine, is far more suitable than Sia!"   While I stood at the center of everyone's ridicule and scorn, Ryan stepped forward and pulled me behind him, shielding me from their attacks.   "Whether Sia has a wolf soul or not, she is the only mate I'll ever choose."   Yet that very night, Ryan brought me a bowl of a mysterious potion said to awaken my wolf soul and made me drink it.   "I had Laura create this specifically for you. Sia, you need to do your part for our future too."   The instant the potion touched my lips, a scorching heat surged from my throat and spread throughout my entire body.   Something was wrong with this potion. I fought through the pain and reached out to Ryan for help, but he only turned away, unable to face me.   "Don't resist it. This is for everyone's sake. Once Laura cures you, she'll have a reason to remain in the StoneCreek Pack as the priest's apprentice. When your wolf breaks free from its seal, we won't have to listen to anyone's judgment anymore."   But Ryan never imagined that after Lilith broke the seal, the first thing she would do was make me reject him and seek out my true destined mate.
