Game of Destiny by Dripping Creativity novel Chapter 144

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.

Finlay was extra fussy and protective as we got ready to head home. should probably put a stop to it, but I needed it just as much as he did to settle my nerves. Yesterday had been too close for my liking and it was why I didn’t object to his fussing or the fact that we were heading home after just two and a half days at the alpha meeting.

“Ready to go?” he asked as he grabbed our bags.

“Ready,” I confirmed. He opened the door and then put his free arm round me. I put my arm around him as well, it allowed me to be close to him..

“I texted Elder and he will be waiting in the lobby to say goodbye,” nlay told me.

“Thank you,” I said and kissed his jaw. In the lobby it wasn’t just Elder who waited for us. James, Jonas and Beatrice were also there.

“Beatrice! How are you doing?” I asked and took a step forward to give her a hug. She smiled back at me.

“I’m fine. I don’t have any lasting symptoms. How about you?” she asked.

“I’m fine as well.” We took a moment to say goodbye to everyone. I was happy the last tention between James and Finlay was gone. James had changed for the better after his mating. I could see the young version of him come through, and he looked relaxed. He

even laughed. I was happy he was happy. Elder gave me a long hug.

“Please just stay in your house and keep any urges of doing brave things at bay. If you keep scaring me like this I will start going grey. Becky will hate you,” he told me. I laughed.

“I will make sure she doesn’t get any bright ideas. I plan on giving her all the paperwork that needs to be done. I may have fallen a little bit behind,” Finlay said. Everyone laughed. It was a little sad to say goodbye to our friends. We had a good group of allies. I was still happy to get into the car with Finlay. The first hour we sat in silence mostely, each of us occupied with our own thoughts. As always it was a comfortable silence and Finlay was holding my hand. He let go of it and pulled out a bread roll from his pocket.

“Hungry?” he asked. I looked at the bread and started laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my face and I had a problem catching my breath. He looked at me with worry.

“Like a food magician,” I wheezed. He chuckled and pulled the car over so he could face me.

“I’m fine, I really am. I needed a good laugh. Thanks, love,” I told him and leaned over to kiss him. He looked happy as we drew

“So, is that a yes or a no on the bread roll?” he asked.

When we crossed onto the pack land I smiled and felt almost giddy, inlay must have felt it through our bond as he looked at me and smiled. I mindlinked Matilda and I could feel how relieved and happy he was. The top tier and Matilda stood waiting outside our house. As soon as I got out of the car, Matilda, Medow and Shelly were hugging me.
