The Unloved Luna Queen

Prologue

I made my way inside the ballroom where the coronation was taking place. I didn't want to be a part of the ceremony because it would really hurt to see the one you have loved for so long take someone else as his partner. I wanted to be in that place but I knew that I was not the one he loved, he could never love me even if I was his mate because he found the one he loves. I am dreading to be a part of the ceremony and I have no choice but to attend it.

Today is my 18th birthday and I am supposed to find my mate today. But, here I am attending the coronation of the one person I have been crushing on since I was a kid. To top it all Dylan is away for his Alpha training and I miss terribly. He is the only one I can call family because my parents don't care about me. I don't remember a birthday where they wished me "Happy Birthday" and still I have to be the one attending the ceremony today on behalf of the Alpha because Dylan is away for training. I wish I would have been able to go for the training with Dylan. I really miss him at least he would have been with me if I went for the training, but unfortunately, I am not allowed to be a part of the Alpha training even after being an Alpha female.

I shook my head to get rid of all these thoughts and attend the ceremony. Maybe I can be lucky and find my mate as there a lot of packs attending the coronation ceremony today. I mean a girl can dream right? On the other hand, it is good that I am not going to be alone in the ceremony because I will be able to spend time with my best friend Lavender. I mean if Dylan would have been here today then I would have surely been alone because I am sure that Dylan and Lavender are mates which means they would have ditched me anyways to spend time with each other. They have been crushing on each other for as long as I can remember. The thought made me smile at least someone will be able to be with the one they love.

Come on Darcy don't be like that, you will also find love once you meet your mate. I told myself and I really wish that my mate would love. Maybe my birthday can really be a Happy Birthday if I find my mate. I smiled at the thought and entered the ballroom trying to find my best friend. However, as soon as I entered the ballroom a delicious scent hit me with full force making my mind go hazy. I didn't know what I am doing but my legs are working on their own following the scent going deeper in the ballroom. I know the scent, I have smelled it before but I can't seem to identify whose smell that is. I know that this scent is the scent of my mate and my heart filled with hope, happiness and excitement.

Hope to be loved, happiness to be with my soul-mate and excitement to be able to live the dream of having a mate. I have always been fascinated with the idea of a mate and I have been desperately waiting to experience the mate bond, to love and to be loved by the one made for me. I entered deep in the ballroom and my eyes met with the dark blue eyes as deep as an ocean drowning me in their depths that I knew all too well but still felt as if I am looking in them for the first time.

His eyes boring in me as if looking at my soul right through me. His eyes darkened at my sight and held so many emotions that I didn't know what to do. His eyes showed happiness, joy, care and love? I never knew that I would ever be able to see love in those eyes for me but they showed so much of love and adoration for me. I don't know if it's just the mate bond or he actually loved me but I am happy that I was able to see love for myself in his eyes even if that was only for once. His short dark black hair looked soft and smooth, I resisted the urge to run my fingers through them. His straight thin lips looked soft and red and I wanted to run to him throwing myself in his arms and kissing them.

I couldn't believe that I was able to see so many emotions for me in his eyes and my wolf was going crazy screaming 'Mate, Mate, Mate' and 'Go to mate' and my own emotions coming to surface as the feeling that I held for him since so long started coming out. My eyes filled with hope, love, care and happiness as tears threatened to slip out of my eyes. I couldn't believe the one that I love for so long was my mate all along.

I willed myself to move towards him but I was broken out of my haze as I saw him move his arm that was curled around my friend to remove her from his hold. I couldn't stop the hurt I felt to show in my eyes as tears slipped down my eyes and I took a step back but that earned me a growl from him and I was immediately slammed to a wall. Sparks erupted as soon as we made contact and I whimpered at the impact.

"Mate" I whispered as tears continued to fall

"Mine" He growled and his growl vibrated through the entire ballroom
