Game of Destiny by Dripping Creativity novel Chapter 158

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.

8 years later

“Wake up, Red,” Finlay told me and kissed me.

“Is something wrong?” I asked, worried.

“No, just scent the air,” he told me. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and took in the scent. I sat up in bed and looked out of the window. It was early, but I could still see the show. It was snowing and a good deal was already on the ground.

“Snow!” I told him excitedly. He smiled at me and nodded.

“I will get the pups ready and mindlink Jake,” he said.

“I will make breakfast and pack lunch as I mindlink Medow and Ramses,” I told him. We both got out of bed and got dressed. I was almost done with the oatmeal porridge when Asher came running into the room.

“Mom, it’s snowing!” he exclaimed and hugged me. I hugged him back.

“It sure is. Please set the table so we can have breakfast,” I told him. He did as he was told and I enjoyed the excitement I could feel from him. Finlay came into the kitchen still trying to wrangle Lilly into a sweater. When he finally got her head to pop out of the thing, her red curls were a mess and she pouted. He kissed her nose which made her giggle. He put her down in her booster seat. While I served breakfast, Finlay managed to get Lilly’s hair into two pigtails.

“Maybe don’t say that in front of the Alpha and Luna, babe,” Jon told him and both Finlay and I laughed. We took the group of pups and headed for the slope in the woods. The group of pups were like a little pack of their own. They had grown up together and were used to being in a group. Asher, Rose and Martina took the lead and helped the younger ones who needed a little help. Tonya, Ramses‘ oldest daughter, was a little bit shy and enjoyed sticking with the younger pups. Lilly was her usual curious self. Even though at five years old, the snow was giving her some issues, she persisted in exploring the woods. Asher made sure she didn’t wander too far away. From time to time he would point out things to her and tell her what they were.
