Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the King

After years of being forcibly claimed and tormented, I lost my memory. Staring at the gaunt, skeletal woman in the mirror, I couldn’t believe my eyes. "Is this… me?" I whispered, horrified. The once radiant and elegant beauty of the city, now reduced to a hollow shell. Furious, I stormed out to confront the one responsible for this. But when I saw him standing by the arched gate, tall and commanding, his dark eyes piercing through me, my anger faltered. He was… breathtaking. "Father." A little boy clung to his hand, trying to sound brave but failing to hide his nervousness. "Mother seems in a good mood today. Do you think she’ll hug me?" "Who knows?" he replied, his tone laced with sarcasm.

After years of being forcibly claimed and tormented, I lost my memory.

Staring at the gaunt, skeletal woman in the mirror, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

"Is this… me?" I whispered, horrified.

The once radiant and elegant beauty of the city, now reduced to a hollow shell.

Furious, I stormed out to confront the one responsible for this.

But when I saw him standing by the arched gate, tall and commanding, his dark eyes piercing through me, my anger faltered.

He was… breathtaking.

"Father."

A little boy clung to his hand, trying to sound brave but failing to hide his nervousness.

"Mother seems in a good mood today. Do you think she’ll hug me?"

"Who knows?" he replied, his tone laced with sarcasm. "She certainly won’t hug your father."

I woke up one day, and suddenly, I was no longer a young girl but the Luna of the Silver Moon Pack. And not just any Luna—I was forcibly claimed by the Alpha King himself.

Helena, my loyal Gamma and childhood friend, tearfully explained everything.

I was once promised to my childhood friend, Noe Bradley, but the Alpha King, Ambrose Sullivan, had taken me against my will. He forced me into a mate bond, and I bore him two children. I was kept prisoner, locked away in his estate, subjected to his dominance.

And just before I lost my memory, I had stabbed him with a hairpin.

"He’s still in bed, unconscious," Helena whispered urgently, her eyes filled with determination. "This is the perfect time to escape! We can run away, find Noe, and start a new life!"

I stared at her, speechless.

Pushing her hand away, I collapsed onto the bed, closing my eyes, wishing this was all just a nightmare.

But when I opened them again, I was still in this opulent room, surrounded by the same suffocating reality.

I let out a heavy sigh, about to ask Helena for more details, when I noticed a small, tearful figure standing at the door.

A little girl, her tiny fists clenched, tears streaming down her face.

"Mother," she choked out, her voice trembling. "Are you leaving? Take me with you, please. I’ll be good. I won’t eat much. I won’t be a burden."

I froze, unsure of how to respond.

But before I could, Helena stepped forward, her voice sharp and commanding.

"Malani! Who let you in here? Where are the guards?"

She grabbed the child by the collar, roughly dragging her toward the door.

The little girl’s face turned red from the pressure, her tiny hands flailing as she struggled against Helena’s grip. Tears poured down her cheeks, and her sobs were heart-wrenching.

"Helena!" I rushed forward, pulling the child into my arms. "What are you doing? She’s just a child!"

"Luna, you said you didn’t want to see her—"

"Enough. Leave us," I snapped, cutting her off.

Helena hesitated, then bowed her head and left.

I knelt down, smoothing the girl’s hair and wiping her tears, trying to soften my voice.

"Who are you, sweetheart? What’s your name? How old are you?"

Her sobs paused, and she stared up at me with wide, confused eyes. Then, with a wail, she turned and ran out of the room, crying,

"Father! Mother doesn’t want me anymore! Father!"

Her cries echoed through the halls, and soon, the room was filled with people.

Guards, pack members, and even a young boy in a tailored suit, his expression calm as he comforted the sobbing girl.

Once he had calmed her down, he turned to me, his clear eyes filled with sadness.

"Mother," he said softly, "I know you miss Mr. Bradley and resent Father, but Malani is just a child. How could you tell her you don’t want her?"

"That’s not what I meant—"

Even in my confusion, I understood enough to realize the gravity of the situation. I stammered, trying to explain.

"I’ve lost my memory. I don’t remember anything. I don’t know who you are. I didn’t mean to upset her. I’m just… so lost."

The boy’s expression darkened, and he turned to the guards.

"Call the Healer," he ordered. "And inform Father in the main house."

The father of these two children was, of course, Ambrose Sullivan, the Alpha King Helena had told me about.

Logically, if he had gone to such lengths to claim me, he must have cared for me deeply.

But as the Healer examined me, Ambrose was nowhere to be seen.

Malani was taken away by one of the pack members to rest, and the boy—Judson—sat stiffly on the couch, his small hands clenched into fists, his shoulders trembling despite his composed appearance.

"Healer," he asked, his voice trembling slightly, "what’s wrong with Mother?"

"Prince Judson, don’t worry. The Luna is simply suffering from memory loss. It’s temporary. She’ll recover in time," the Healer reassured him, prescribing some medicine before bowing and leaving.

Judson let out a sigh of relief.

I tilted my head, studying him.

His young face, round eyes, and soft features contrasted starkly with the formal suit he wore, giving him an almost comical seriousness.

"So," I asked hesitantly, "are you… my son?"

2. **"stabbed him with a hairpin"** -> **"clawed him with my shifted hand"**

*Explanation*: The use of a "hairpin" is replaced with "clawed him with my shifted hand" to remove the Chinese element and align with the werewolf's natural weapons.

3. **"He’s still in bed, unconscious"** -> **"He’s still in his den, unconscious"**

*Explanation*: The term "bed" is replaced with "den" to reflect the werewolf's living space and remove the human-centric term.

4. **"the Healer examined me"** -> **"the Healer sniffed and examined my aura"**

*Explanation*: The Healer’s examination is now described as sniffing and examining the aura, emphasizing the werewolf's reliance on scent and aura for diagnosis.

My coworkers at the pack’s healing center often accuse me of being too tightfisted. They say that to keep a high-ranking mate, I need to invest a little myself. But I just laugh it off and tell them, "As long as I’m generous to myself, that’s all that matters. Investing in yourself is the surest way to make any wolf fall at your feet." I don’t pretend to be virtuous. Thanks to my mother, an Omega who sacrificed her dignity to support our family after my father’s injury, and my father, a Delta warrior who fell into gambling after losing his leg to a rogue attack, I’ve seen all kinds of wolves and understand life’s harsher truths. I don’t resent them; instead, I’m grateful they’ve given me a clear view of the pack’s hierarchy and its brutal realities. When I decided to give Jaiden Diaz, a Gamma from the Silver Fang Pack, a chance, I made sure to tell him about my background, tears and all. Surprisingly, it didn’t drive him away; it only fueled his desire to protect me. I guess the allure of a fragile Omega, combined with my tough persona, is hard to resist. But, honestly, I don’t love him.

After the Beta Killed Our Unborn Pup

On Christmas Eve, Maeve Richards, the Gamma of our pack and Jay’s childhood friend, deliberately burned my hand with a sparkler. She didn’t apologize afterward. Instead, she goaded Jay to lock me up in the abandoned church on the outskirts of the territory, claiming it was a test from the Moon Goddess to ensure the continuation of our bloodline. I begged Jay, my mate and the Beta of the pack, to take me back, pleading that I was two months pregnant. But he didn’t believe me. "Evelynn," he said, his voice cold and detached, "the future of this pack depends on us. Just stay there for one night, for me." With that, he turned and left with Maeve, never once looking back. Later, when his family scattered the ashes of our pup, it only drove them further into madness. By the time I stumbled down the hill, the bloodstains on my pants had dried. Finally, my phone found a signal.

CURSED FOR LOVE

"We can't be together," he whispered, voice breaking. "You are my destruction." Tears burned her eyes as she shook her head, stepping closer even though it felt like standing at the edge of a blade. "And you... are my ruin too." The words tasted like a goodbye neither of them could accept. They were bound by something that had been waiting before either of them had names - stitched into the marrow of their bloodline, fed on every grief their ancestors had swallowed in silence. A curse that needed only one thing to wake. Them, together. They were never meant to love safely. And if they ever surrendered to it - One would die. The other would be hollowed out by loving them. The curse had learned patience from centuries of waiting. And already, without permission, without mercy, the distance between them was shrinking.

Moving on from My Mate

My hand tightened around the phone, my fingers trembling as I read the messages between Ezra Silvan, my mate, and his packmates. “The poor little she-wolf probably doesn’t even know your real mate, Lyra, is coming back,” Ezra’s Beta had commented. A cold ache settled in my chest. The "little she-wolf" they referred to was unmistakably me. I’d seen this before in Ezra’s conversations with his friends. And Lyra—his “real mate”—was a she-wolf of another pack? “What will you do when Lyra gets back?” Ezra’s Gamma asked. “She won’t put up with your little she-wolf.” “I’ll handle it,” Ezra replied, his words casual, almost too calm. My blood went cold. “Handle it”? Was that his way of saying he’d be rid of me? Before I could process that thought, another friend piped up. “You’re not planning to ditch her, are you?” “Can’t do that,” Ezra replied, as if it were a trivial matter. “She’s been in my bed for five years.” The chat filled with laughing emojis. My hand clenched into a fist. To Ezra and his pack, I was nothing but a placeholder—an inconvenience until Lyra returned. “Don’t be that guy, man. If Alpha Dorian finds out, you’re really in for it.” “What’s the problem?” came the dismissive reply. “If Dorian and his sister are fine with it, I can be Ezra’s mistress too.” My grip on the phone tightened until my fingers began to ache. I could barely breathe as I waited for Ezra’s response. “I’ll make it up to Cressida,” he wrote flatly, like he was signing off on a business deal. “After all, she’s been with me for five years.” The group exploded with more crude jokes. “She must perform great in bed if she’s stuck around this long, second only to Lyra.” “Of course. Cressida seems so obedient. It’s always the quiet ones who surprise you…”

My Alpha Chose My Killer Over Our Unborn Child

The Moon Goddess Festival lit up the night sky with silver beams that danced through the trees. Seven years. Seven perfect years with my mate, and tonight I would finally share the secret I'd been nurturing for weeks. "Close your eyes," Gunner whispered, his breath warm against my ear as he led me away from the pack celebration. His fingers intertwined with mine, strong and reassuring. "Where are we going?" I asked, my free hand instinctively moving to my stomach. The slight swell wasn't noticeable yet, but my wolf and I had been cherishing the tiny life growing inside me. "I told you—a surprise." His voice carried that familiar Alpha timbre that had made me fall in love with him all those years ago. "For our anniversary." The music from the festival faded behind us as Gunner guided me through the forest path. I smiled, imagining a private dinner or perhaps a renewal of our vows under the full moon.

Pregnant by My Enemy Mate

I smelled her perfume before I even opened the door. It was that jasmine-and-vanilla thing Serena always wore, the kind that clung to fabric and skin and stayed long after she was gone. I'd always liked it before. Standing in the hallway outside Lucian's bedroom, my hand still on the doorknob, I thought: that's the detail I'll remember. Not what I saw. The smell. They didn't hear me come in. The door had swung open on its own — Lucian never fixed the latch, and I'd stopped asking him to — and for a moment I just stood there in the light from the hallway, looking at the two of them, and the only thing I felt was a strange, hollow quiet. Like the second after a glass hits the floor, before the sound catches up. Lucian saw me first.
