Rise of the rejected Luna

Rise of the rejected Luna

She was to be set out as a debt to be paid. He is known to be the ruthless Alpha of a pack, feared by many and dared by none. By the ancient rites and moonlight ceremonies, turning eighteen means everything for werewolf shifters. It is aligned with their tradition, holding a great celebration. For Kiara, it should be a day to be merry- the day she finally confirms her bond with her boyfriend and future Alfa, Jason. Rather, it becomes the moment her world is blurred. Ridiculed as a “freak” for her inability to shift, Kiara is publicly rejected by the boy she loves — replaced by her sister, Erina, and humiliated in front of the entire pack. Heartbroken, backstabbed and renounced by everyone including her family. Kiara is sent out against her will to live with Alpha Ryder, who had provided a handsome loan to her parents to cure an ailment. Her stay at the Alpha was prolonged and intrigued. She discovers that she has never been a freak but rather descended from the Lunaries. The drama unfolds, tragedy awaits, torn between love and war. She learns great strength and endurance. She becomes a body of attraction to the alpha. The further she doubts, the more she is shown her worth. Would her stay in the new pack be worth her first rejection or would she be consumed by it? The girl who was once rejected is about to have a new fate.

Chapter: Cease the leak
Kiara’s POV With my head buried on Brandon‘s chest, I could hear Jason screaming. I didn’t want to look back at what I had done to him but his voice was filled with pain as I could hear the crackling of his bones. “He is melting,” I heard one of the men whisper. Peeping behind Brandon's arm, I saw how everyone was astonished, how they stood in shock, and how they were scared to look in my direction. After a few minutes, the room was filled with silence. The crackling sounds had stopped, the heat had stopped, and Jason’s yelling had stopped as well. “We should take our leave,” Ryder said aloud informing his men that the mission was now complete. We were interrupted by the priestess who had jumped out from her place of hiding as she came face to face with Ryder and said, “Who is she?” She questioned the exchange of looks between Ryder and me. Looking back and forth between us. “My mate,” Ryder answered gritting his teeth. “You have no right to question her, ask her anyth

Chapter: Spatter
Kiara’s POV The ceremony had started with chants, a proclamation, and the singing of the priestess clan. It was evident enough that I did not want to be here, it was clear that I hated the activity playing before me, but everyone turned a blind eye to my silent wail. With each passing time, night drew nearer. The wind was chilling and the moon became fuller and brighter. Each chant reminds me that I have been abandoned, I wasn’t going to be saved, and this was a new chapter in my new life. I heard the pause in the ongoing chant, the priestess was quiet, her clan silent, and the bells withheld. “What must have caused this sudden change in the atmosphere,” I asked myself within but I was scared. Too scared to even look up. Bowing my head and looking at the uncomfortable floor was better than staring at anyone's face —especially Jason and the priestess who had turned a blind eye to how troubled I felt. It was best that I remained in this position, unwilling to look up to tak

Chapter: Last Dine
Ryder’s POV With each passing time, the bells rang louder, and we could hear the humming of the priestess clan and the proclamation of her chants. My heartbeat was faster with each step I took as the thought of losing Kiara scared me. I had faced my greatest enemy, fought my greatest war, but I have never been so scared in my life. The coast was more than clear for us to make our way through. I feel the moon goddess made it this way so we could find my Kiara with ease. “Found the stairs,” one of Brandon's men said as he could see the stairs leading to the rooftop. The old-fashioned architecture of the building made it a little too hard to find. We set out to ascend the stairs with quiet steps not wanting to make a sound as we want to step in there unannounced and unnoticed.The chants grew louder as we went up the stairs and that signaled we were on the right path, the path leading to the rooftop, the path leading to Kiara. We halted at the front of the door, ready to bust

Chapter: Finish off the rack
Ryder’s POV It was 11:57pm when Brandon and his battalion finally arrived at where I parked my car. I was beyond relieved to see them and as if he knew how much I felt at that instant, he proceeded to hug me upon seeing me getting out of my car. I returned the hug and received little taps on my back as a form of encouragement from Brandon. “We are here to get her brother,” Brandon said to me before releasing me from his embrace. I had been so overwhelmed with emotions that I didn’t know when my eyes deceived me and released tears. But I had to catch them quickly before they could roll down my cheeks. I had these because as much as I tried to bottle up my emotions, I was scared—scared of losing Kiara, scared of losing another woman I loved. I was scared of allowing her to slip through my fingers and I was determined not to let that happen, not tonight, and not ever. “What do you have in mind on how we are to move in,” Brandon questioned, releasing me from my thought consumed b

Chapter: Mine
Jason’s POV The authority is mine now and I have everything running how I want. Kiara is mine, her powers are mine, and Ryder is misplaced in his emotions. All I knew was I had won. I have proven myself to be a winner—winner of this battle. Ryder had called me a little boy, a man who wasn’t an Alpha, now I have his mate and have disrupted his camp. I have tried having my way with Kiara but she has proved stubborn, over and over again. She still asserts her commitment to Ryder and Brandon—claiming to be theirs and theirs alone. “You are with me now,” I would often yell in her face in anger as she needed to get that fact into her head. Nothing annoys me more than that. I had her in my clasp, so why does she prove stubborn? Haven’t I proven to be more than she expected? I know she despises me but I need her to know that the sooner she begins to accept the fact that she is under my care, the better for both of us.The bracelets I wore on my hands were to protect me from Kiara’s

Chapter: Last odds
Kiara’s POV The lady who attended to me couldn’t hide her sympathy and fear. She sighed each time she wanted by back with rose water milk and when she dropped fresh rose petals in the bathtub. All of this experience should have been an exciting one but it wasn’t as I was receiving this treatment not as a princess but as a slave, a captive, waiting to forcefully mate with the man she hates most. “I wish there was something I could do to save you, madame,” the lady spoke to me in a calm tone as she did my hair, releasing it from the rollers that held my curls together. I couldn’t say anything more to her as there was nothing I had to say or think. I had given up on Ryder and Brandon walking in here to save me. I am beginning to accept that maybe this is my new fate and the moon goddess has been playing nothing but a prank on me. The lady helped me into my dress, a yellow flowing dress with flowers at each step. I fell in love with the dress at first sight but I couldn’t bring
