My Mate of Twenty Years Married My Best Friend

For twenty years Claire has served the Sharp Fang Pack as its Luna, the daughter of Alpha Marcus Wildfang who once led missions in the Red War. Now her mate, Alpha Lucas Barlowe, barely looks up from his reports, calling her old, ugly and a house pet, and offering a diamond ring instead of the mating ceremony she still hopes for.

His father, Elder Alpha Aric, says openly that Lucas should have mated Heidy Black instead, and their son's mate Jasmine warns that Claire's wishes would embarrass the family before the Council of Clans. Silent and bleeding from a kitchen knife, Claire keeps serving them, until her long-muzzled wolf stirs and she remembers her mother's words: daughters of the Alpha line do not serve, they rule.
