Yield No More,Alpha Caleb Howl Alone

I, Clara, fled Caleb after he branded "yield" into my soul, choosing Juliet over me-stealing my dowry, mocking my pain. On his fake mating day, I escaped to the Western Packs, ripping free from his chains. In Elaria, Dominic found me-no judgment for my shorn scalp, just warmth. Caleb tracked me, begging forgiveness, but his words reeked of the same control. When an avalanche buried Dominic, I dug him out, ignoring Caleb's pleas. Dominic gave me a moonstone ring etched with our sigils; I wore it proudly. Now, as I board my flight, Caleb's scent fades behind me.

Chapters

Chapter 2

I jolt awake from a fitful shift.

Lunar firecrackers explode over my manor, their deafening booms rattling the ancient stone walls. Colorful sparks-meant to mimic a moonbow-rain down like a mocking curtain, bathing the scene in a sickly, otherworldly glow.

Juliet Darkmore's sickly-sweet croon pierces the silence.

"Good rising, Clara!"

Her voice drips with false cheer.

I turn to find Caleb Waverly standing behind her, his alpha grin splitting his muzzle as he nuzzles her ear.

A pack of his minions trails in, their cameras glinting.

This is Caleb's private manor-only we hold the moonstone key.

Yet here they are, invading my sanctuary, filming every moment of my distress.

If I'd slept in my usual form, they'd have caught me bare and vulnerable, at their mercy.

"Juliet brought you a lunar greeting, and you can't even bare your throat?"

Caleb's voice is a low growl, filled with barely concealed anger.

"She hired a professional pack photographer for your pre-ritual footage."

He flings a bundle of enchanted mane at me-a fake wig-with a force that sends it skidding across the floor.

"Wear this. Your baldness might spook Juliet."

I curl my lip in disgust, letting the wig fall to the floor.

His friends snicker, their scents sour with amusement.

Caleb's alpha aura flares, but I meet his gaze head-on. "I won't wear it."

Caleb's muzzle twists in fury.

"Clara Ashford, have you no respect for pack tradition?"

Juliet slips under his arm, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"She's just groggy from the lunar shift. I don't mind, Caleb."

She turns to me, faking a pout.

"Won't you model the mating gown for the pack? I picked it specially for you."

"If you want a display, visit the mortal zoo," I snap, my voice filled with venom.

The pack gasps in shock.

They expect me to cower, to submit to their demands, but Juliet's lip quivers, a performance worthy of an award.

"Don't you like my choice? I thought-"

Caleb nuzzles her, his eyes fixed on me with hatred.

"It's an honor she chose for you. Yield the gown."

I toss the lunar mantle at Juliet's feet.

"Take it. It reeks of your musk anyway."

My height towers over hers by two handspans-this gown was tailored for her. "You even stole my fitting, didn't you? The gown was never my size."

"You never told me-"

"Told you?" I laugh, a harsh, bitter sound.

"I did tell you," I snarl.

"While you were hunting across pack territories with Juliet, chasing lunar storms like lovesick pups." The memory of his cold words still stings: "This trivial matter bothers you? Find a seamstress to alter it."

But without his alpha stamp, the manor's tailors dared not touch the gown; everyone knew it was Juliet's favorite, enchanted with her scent.

"So you withheld this to torment Juliet?"

Caleb's snout curls in disgust.

"I never thought you'd be so venomous."

He twists my every growl, convinced I plot against his lover.

But explanations wither on my tongue.

What's the use, when his ears only hear Juliet's lies?

Juliet's whimper splits the manor.

"Clara should cherish the gown. I might never have a mating ritual."

Caleb's arms lock around her, his alpha voice booming at me.

"Since you despise the gown, Juliet will wear it this afternoon. You'll have endless moons as my luna-surrender a few hours."

My moonflight ticket burns in my pocket-nine hours till lift-off.

Caleb misreads my silence, adding, "Apologize to Juliet now, and you can still be the Luna..."

I look him dead in the eye, a cold smile spreading across my face.

Forsaken for a Fake: The True Luna's Revenge

My husband, Alpha Kaeden, once looked at me with adoration. But after he brought Clemmie home, his eyes turned cold, glazed over by the "herbal tea" she fed him. Now, I lay chained to a steel table in the dungeon, the smell of my own burning flesh filling the air. Kaeden stood over me, indifferent to my screams. He ordered the guards to electrocute me through silver cuffs—the poison of our kind—even though he knew I was carrying his pup. But torture wasn't the end goal. I froze when I heard the doctor’s question. "The transplant carries risks, Alpha. Taking a heart from a living donor..." Clemmie didn't just want my husband; she wanted my heart to cure her "sickness" and steal my White Wolf power. I waited for Kaeden to refuse. Instead, he rubbed his temples and delivered my death sentence. "Harvest the heart. Dispose of the rest." "And the fetus?" the doctor asked. "Incinerate it." Those words killed me faster than the silver. I died on the operating table that night, my heart flatlining for three minutes to stage my death. Kaeden thinks I am ash in a jar. He thinks he saved his mistress. But when I opened my eyes in the safe house, they weren't brown anymore. They were glowing silver. Beside me, my daughter slept, alive and radiating ancient power. The weak Luna is dead. The White Wolf has risen. And I am going home to take back my pack.

From Bait to Queen: The Rejected Mate's Destiny

8.5

To the Dark Moon Pack, I wasn't just invisible; I was a stain. Dean Lee, the Alpha designed for my soul, treated me like a shameful secret while he paraded his mistress, Karina, in red silk. The night of the Charity Auction, Dean bought my late mother's moonstone pendant—the only thing I had left of her—for a hundred thousand dollars. I begged him for it. Instead, he clasped it around Karina's ankle. With a cruel laugh, Karina stomped her stiletto heel, crushing the moonstone into dust. Dean just watched, his eyes cold and unfeeling. "It was just a cheap rock," he said. "I'll buy you diamonds." But the cruelty didn't stop at emotional torture. When rogues attacked, Dean used me as live bait to distract them from Karina. He threw me into the Blood Pit, a gladiator arena, to fight a massive Feral wolf while he sat in the VIP box with Karina on his lap. "She won't last three minutes," I heard him say through our dying bond. He watched with bored detachment as I was ripped apart, refusing to save me even as I screamed his name. He saved the mistress and drowned the mate. I died on that arena floor. Or so he thought. Years later, the mysterious and world-renowned artist "H.Y." returned to New York for a gallery opening. When Dean saw me on stage, he rushed forward, tears streaming down his face, trying to claim the wife he had mourned. "Hayley," he choked out, reaching for me. "You're alive. You're mine." I didn't cry. I didn't run. I unleashed a shockwave of ancient White Wolf energy that blasted him across the room, shattering the glass displays. "I don't take orders from dogs anymore," I said, looking down at him. "I, Hayley York, hereby reject you."
