Discarded by My Fated Mate

On the day she is finally meant to be marked as Cain's Luna, Vera stands alone in an empty ceremonial hall while a pack-wide announcement lights up her phone: her family is at the arrival gates, throwing a welcome-home party for her golden sister, Eris. Not one of them came for her. Vera has spent her life being the daughter who is easy to forget — sent to a cliffside outpost when resources ran thin, given a windowless room when she returned, handed her sister's chores while everyone else basked in Eris's light. Even Cain, the mate fate paired her with, flirts with Eris under the excuse of family. So when Eris fakes an allergic collapse and their mother slaps Vera for it, and Vera overhears her parents plotting to keep Cain tethered to her while he privately serves Eris, something in her finally goes quiet. She stops begging. She packs her duffel and leaves for the Outpost, where strength is earned, not inherited. Thirteen days of silence become a new life. The pack that never saw her starts to fall apart without her, and one by one they come crawling — Cain with new bonding robes, her parents with rehearsed apologies, Dax with the shame he never carried. Vera refuses each of them. And when the truth about Eris finally detonates, the family that tried to silence Vera is left to mourn the daughter who rose without their name.
