Rejected Luna's New Realm

I woke to the suffocating heat pressing down on me like a physical weight. My skin was slick with sweat, my lungs struggling for air in the stifling servant quarters. The small window offered no relief, just a rectangle of pale dawn light that illuminated the peeling paint and worn floorboards of my prison. A sharp pain lanced through my abdomen, and I gasped, curling around my swollen belly protectively. My baby. Our baby. The only good thing to come from this nightmare of a mate bond. "Not now, little one," I whispered, stroking the taut skin where my pup grew. "Please hold on." I tried to stand, but the room tilted violently. The pain came again, stronger this time, and I felt my knees buckle.

Elara insisted I stay in the clinic overnight for observation. The small medical room was cooler than my quarters, but my mind burned hotter than any fever as I lay there, one hand protectively curved over my belly. The cramps had subsided, but the fear hadn't. Our pup was hanging on—barely.

"Try to rest," Elara urged, placing a cool cloth on my forehead. "I've done what I can for now. Your body needs to recover."

I nodded weakly, watching her retreat to her desk in the corner. The clinic was quiet except for the soft hum of a small fan she'd positioned near my bed—a luxury my quarters didn't have.

My phone buzzed on the side table. I shouldn't have looked. Some part of me knew that nothing good would come from checking it, but the desperate need to connect with something, anything outside these walls overrode my better judgment.

With trembling fingers, I unlocked the screen. A notification from the pack's social media group glowed accusingly: "Blake Harrison has posted new photos."

My wolf, Luna, whimpered inside me. *Don't look. Please don't look.*

But I couldn't stop myself. I tapped the notification.

The images loaded one by one, each a fresh knife to my heart. Blake, my mate—the father of the child I was fighting to keep alive—stood on the balcony of a luxury mountain lodge. Behind him stretched the majestic Colorado Rockies, all sweeping vistas and pristine snow. And in his arms, smiling radiantly into the camera, was Victoria Sterling.

Her perfect blonde hair caught the sunlight, her designer clothes complementing the upscale surroundings. They looked like a magazine spread—the ideal Alpha couple enjoying a romantic getaway.

"Only a worthy she-wolf by my side," read his caption.

My breath caught painfully in my chest. The clinic walls seemed to close in around me as I scrolled through more photos. Blake and Victoria dining at an exclusive restaurant. Blake and Victoria hiking on private trails. Blake and Victoria toasting with champagne in a hot tub overlooking the mountains.

Pack funds. He was using pack funds—our collective resources—to treat another woman like a queen while I fought to keep our child alive in a sweltering room barely fit for storage.

The comments were worse. Pack members offering congratulations, expressing envy over their "perfect getaway." And Victoria herself, replying to someone who asked about the altitude: "Too high for those who can't keep up, I'm afraid."

They all knew. They all knew I was pregnant with his pup, fighting for my health in the pack clinic, and they were celebrating his betrayal.

Luna snarled in my mind, her fury matching my anguish. *He dishonors us. He dishonors our pup.*

Tears blurred my vision as I set the phone down. I couldn't bear to see more. The cruelty was so deliberate, so public. He wanted me to see. He wanted everyone to see.

I closed my eyes and reached for our mate bond—that connection that should have been sacred but had become a channel for pain.

*Blake,* I called through the bond, no longer begging but raw with hurt. *How could you? While our pup fights to survive, you parade her around like she's your mate?*

I felt his annoyance pulse through the bond before his cold reply came.

*Don't be dramatic, Mia. The pup will be fine. Healer said you just need to rest.*

*In a clinic,* I responded, *because the quarters you force me to live in are killing our child.*

A flash of irritation, then dismissal. *Not everything is about you. I have responsibilities to the pack that don't include catering to your constant demands.*

The injustice of it burned through me. *Responsibilities? Is that what you call taking Victoria to Colorado with pack money while I'm fighting for our baby's life?*

His response was instant and cutting. *Watch yourself, Mia. Remember your place.*

I pressed a hand to my mouth to stifle a sob, not wanting Elara to hear, though I was sure she could sense my distress.

*Our pup deserves better than this humiliation,* I sent through the bond, my mental voice breaking. *I deserve better.*

There was a long pause before his final, devastating reply came through.

*You deserve nothing. And once that pup is born, I'm rejecting you as my mate. I never intended for you to be my Luna. Victoria is my choice—she always has been.*

The bond went silent, but the echo of his words remained, shattering what little hope I had left.

The Inter-Pack Summit's grand hall glowed with ceremonial torches, casting dramatic shadows across the faces of the most powerful Alphas in the region. I stood at the entrance, my silver aura radiating outward in controlled waves—not a display of emotion, but a calculated reminder of the Silvermoon Pack's strength under my leadership. Marcus positioned himself precisely one step behind me and to my right, his presence a silent comfort through our private mind-link. *They're all watching for weakness,* he observed, his thoughts flowing into mine with familiar ease. *Then they'll find none,* I replied, scanning the room with measured indifference. Alpha Kaelen Blackwood approached first, his dark eyes evaluating me with the same predatory calculation I recognized in myself. "Alpha Victoria," he greeted, inclining his head just slightly enough to acknowledge my status without suggesting submission. "Your champion has brought considerable attention to the Silvermoon territory." "As intended," I replied coolly, the subtle tap of my index finger against my thigh the only outward sign of my strategic assessment. Ryan Mitchell had indeed brought attention—attention I had meticulously orchestrated over five years of investment. The rogue I'd salvaged from starvation had been molded into a weapon that now represented Silvermoon dominance in combat.

Betrayed by the Mate Who Claimed My Heart

9.3

On the way back to the pack, I complained to Raiden about Giovanna pushing me to the ground. He accused me of faking it for sympathy and sent me to the rogue lands for "training." Two years of hardship left me emaciated, barely clinging to life. I thought he would come to take me back, but instead, he dragged me out to donate blood for Giovanna. "Two years of training haven’t humbled you yet? Still playing the victim!" "Giovanna is severely anemic, and you’re the only one with a matching scent in the entire pack. If you delay and make her condition worse, you’ll regret it!" He didn’t listen to my explanations and forced me into the car. He didn’t know that two years in the rogue lands had left me with a rare illness. I had only a month left, and forcibly donating blood would cut that down to five days. --- Raiden dragged me into the hospital, his aura cold and unyielding. Not a single word of concern passed his lips.

Dropping The Ultrasound On My Alpha's Mating Altar

8.7

She walked into her mate's office with an ultrasound and walked out with nothing — no bond, no pack, no future, just a secret heartbeat she refused to let die. Kaelen Thorne didn't just choose her half-sister. He chose the woman sitting on his desk, the woman carrying his "heir," while Elara's pregnancy stayed crumpled in her fist — the truth she swallowed to survive. She crossed a frozen river to escape. She built a quiet, hidden life around a boy with dark hair and eyes that glow wrong in the dark. She thought she was safe. She wasn't. Five years after the rejection, two men walk through her diner door on the same morning: the Lycan Prince who pulled her from that river and never stopped knowing her secret, and the Alpha who threw her away and just realized what he threw. Elara Vance is done being a dry well. She was never weak — she was just waiting. But now Valerius knows what her son is, Kaelen knows the heir he abandoned, and the black venom that wept from her neck the night her bond broke is finally waking up. The only question is: which of them is more afraid of what she becomes next?

Lycan Prince Saves Rejected Mate

The grand hall of the Moonstone Pack house glittered with silver and gold decorations for Emma's coming-of-age ceremony. My daughter—my beautiful, innocent daughter—stood beside me in her white dress, her eyes bright with excitement. At eighteen, she was finally going to be recognized as an adult member of the pack. "You look beautiful, Mama," Emma whispered, squeezing my hand. "Do you think Father will be proud?" I smoothed her hair, ignoring the whispers that followed us. "Of course he will, sweetheart. You're perfect." But as we took our places in the ceremonial circle, I noticed Matias's cold stare. His Alpha aura pulsed with barely contained anger, and Amelie stood beside him in a gown that cost more than most pack members earned in a month. "Members of the Moonstone Pack," Matias's voice boomed across the hall. "Today we celebrate our daughter's transition to adulthood." The crowd cheered, but their eyes darted between Matias and me.

Rejected by Destiny, Reborn as Luna

Just because I accidentally spilled Louisa’s medicine while preparing it, Jaxxon forced me to kneel all night on the frozen ground outside the packhouse. The cold seeped into my bones, and the next morning, I woke up in pain, realizing I had miscarried. Desperate, I went to find Jaxxon, but what I overheard shattered my world. “Do you think Sylvia would die of rage if she found out the child wasn’t yours, Jax?” one of his Betas sneered. “Imagine her face when she realizes it wasn’t you in her bed all these nights but your Delta, and that every time, a different warrior was watching,” another added with a cruel laugh. “And yesterday, to comfort Louisa, you even had those explicit pictures of her shared across the pack’s mind link. The entire Northern Pack is talking about them now!” Jaxxon’s voice was cold and detached. “She deserved it for spilling Louisa’s medicine. It’s her punishment. But she’s still my mate—I couldn’t let her carry a bastard and shame me.

Rejected by My Fated Mate

I woke that morning with hope fluttering in my chest like a caged bird finally sensing freedom. Three years. One thousand and ninety-five days of waiting, of proving myself worthy, of pouring Silvercrest's resources into Shadowclaw's crumbling infrastructure. Tonight, the treaty would expire. Tonight, Holden would finally claim me as his Luna. I was Emryn Reyes, daughter of Alpha Marcus of the Silvercrest Pack, and I'd gambled everything on love. The morning sun streamed through the windows of Holden's office as I searched for the guest list he'd mentioned. My fingers brushed against a crumpled receipt tucked beneath a stack of territorial maps. Diamond necklace. Three thousand dollars.
