Game of Destiny by Dripping Creativity novel Chapter 153

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.

Thank you, mother. Do you know how embarrassed I am by the way you treat her? You mentioned Amie’s parents, and yes, they stayed for a month. Since the first time I spoke with them, they have treated me with respect and kindness. Since finding out I was their daughter’s mate, they have more or less adopted me as part of their family. When they stayed with us her dad took me out and talked to me about being a father. Her mom made sure to find out I like sweet tea made with lime. Each morning there was a freshly made pitcher waiting for me in the fridge and she would scold both Amie and her father if they snuck a glass of it. They treat me like a son. And what does Amie get? She gets to be ignored by my mother. That is embarrassing and I won’t put her through it. She deserves more,” I told my mother and took a deep breath. The more I thought about it, the more upset I got. “Will it be the same with our pup? If I let you meet them will you ignore them? Will you compare them to the imaginary pups Ryan and Sarah could have had and always find mine lacking? Because if so, you will never set foot anywhere near them.” My mother watched

1. me.

“I may have put more time into raising your brother. It doesn’t mean I don’t love you. Ryan was to be the next Alpha. When he was about ten, your father spoke to me. He told me Ryan wasn’t performing as expected. He was not as strong or fast as an Alpha pup his age should be. You were seven at the time and you were already is equal and had already started showing signs you would outperform him. Your father was a traditionalist and had some strong beliefs that the oldest son should inherit the title. He asked for my help. If we both helped Ryan, he would get stronger and better. How could I refuse my mate? How could I not want my son to succeed? Ryan was already so set on being Alpha, even at that age It would have broken his heart if he would have had to give it up,” she explained. I was dumbfounded.

“So that is why the two of you didn’t have time for me? Why aunt Matilda had to step in and raise me?” I asked.

“Yes, We hadn’t expected just how much time we would need to help Ryan become what your father saw as fit to lead the pack. Your father handled the physical training and I took on the responsibility of teaching him how to be strong for the pack. We didn’t see

what we were doing until it was too late,” she said.

“You made his whole world revolve around being strong,” I said, the disdain clear in my voice.

“Is that why Ryan didn’t join the Games that year?” I asked.

“You were always strong, both physically and mentally. We knew you’d be fine.” As I listened to my mother, I laughed. It wasn’t a cheerful laugh, it was a hollow one.

“What a mess you and father made of things. In the end this whole mess is on your shoulders. Just because my father couldn’t accept that his second son was stronger than his firstborn. That is why you have always stuck to Ryan, no matter how much me and aunt Matilda have asked you to join us,” I said.

“How could I leave him when I was responsible for what he had become? I couldn’t give up on trying to fix it. Now I take care of Sarah because she has suffered at the hands of your brother. Not like the other females of the pack. No, your brother would never let another man lay with his mate. But the things he told her, the way he kept her locked in the pack house. That is why I put all my energy on her. Amie is strong, just like you. You will be fine without me.”
