Game of Destiny by Dripping Creativity novel Chapter 116

Battle of Fate Summary

Armeria “Amie” Winstone is nearing her eighteenth birthday in one of the strongest werewolf packs. While most werewolves gain their wolf between ages sixteen and seventeen, Amie still has not received hers. This makes her feel weak, insecure, and fearful of being seen as a disappointment. Despite this, she has a loving family and a close connection to the pack’s leaders, having grown up alongside the Alpha’s son, James.

During the full moon celebration on the night she turns eighteen, Amie discovers her fated mate by scent—James, the future Alpha and her childhood friend. However, instead of joy, the moment turns devastating when James publicly rejects her. He claims that she cannot be his Luna because she does not have her wolf, and he believes the pack needs a strong leader’s mate. His rejection shatters Amie emotionally and brings silent shock across the pack.

The aftermath creates tension between the families. Amie’s parents are heartbroken and furious, willing to challenge the Alpha to defend their daughter. Amie realizes her presence will cause division, broken alliances, and pain for the pack. Feeling like a burden and unwilling to be the reason her family suffers, she quietly decides to leave. Before dawn, she packs her belongings, writes a loving goodbye letter to her parents and brother, and leaves her home and pack behind, stepping into an uncertain future alone.

‘Don’t open your eyes‘ Finlay mindlinked me as I woke up.

‘Why?‘ I asked.

‘Just don’t.‘ I scented the air and heard him sigh. ‘You could just leave it alone.‘

“Snow!” I exclaimed and sat up in bed.

“Why, Red?” Finlay said with a sigh. “It’s Sunday and for the first time in months we don’t have anything planned. Can’t you just come back to bed?”

“Back to bed? Are you crazy? Have you seen the snow?” I asked as I stood at the window and looked out. It must have been snowing most of the night as the landscape was white.

“I haven’t, but I can smell it. What I am seeing is my naked mate standing in front of the window. I would much rather have you back in bed than let the entire pack see you,” he told me.

“Oh come on. It’s the first snow! And since we don’t have anything planned, you can come with us,” I told him.

“Do we need to get going now? Can’t we spend a couple of hours in bed first?”

“No we can’t. We will waste precious time. We need to get down to the kitchen to pack lunch before meeting with the pups. When we get back we can take a long hot shower. We can have all the fun we want then,” I told him, still looking out the window. I felt his arms surround me and his body heat felt nice against my back.

“I would think us having fun until three in the morning would have been enough to show you how much I enjoy our fun times,” I told him. I felt his chest vibrate from laughter.

“I don’t have a problem with you being greedy, but you did promise me to follow me around and do whatever I wanted to do,” I said and did my best to give him puppy dog eyes. He sighed and placed a hand over my eyes.

We both made sure to get the lunch ready and Finlay took the backpack. The pups stood inside the front door to the pack house, waiting.

“Cade, Jon, aren’t you getting too old for this?” I teased the two teenagers.

“Says the twenty–eight–year–old Luna,” Finlay told me and everyone laughed. We headed for the woods, towards our sledding hill. The hours spent in the snow with the pups were as fun as they always were. Even Finlay relaxed and enjoyed sledding and building snowmen. When I sneaked off to change into my wolf, he joined me and together we ambushed the pups and spent an hour playing tags.
