Rejected By The Alpha, Desired By The King
“He rejected me in front of the entire pack… because she stole my scent.”
Nobody wants a rejected Omega.
Ayla Riverwinddoesn’t care anymore. She's done waiting for fate. As Northmoon Pack’s healer, she’s content in the shadows—until the day her world burns.
Her best friend, ‘Cassia’, uses forbidden scentbinding magic to steal Ayla’s identity and claim her mate—high-ranking Alpha ‘Darius’—as her own. Publicly rejected, shackled in silver, and tortured with wolfsbane, Ayla is cast into a dungeon and marked feral. The rejection was meant to break her.
Instead, it awakens something ancient inside her. When she escapes into the Outlands, Ayla meets ‘Rylan Stormblade’—a rogue healer with secrets carved into his skin and knowledge of a lost ritual that may restore her scent... or kill her.
But Ayla’s scent is no longer just hers. It burns through the bond realm, ripping through the senses of one wolf in particular—’Kael Valerius’, the Alpha King. His wolf goes feral when her scent touches the wind, but he already has a Luna.
Now hunted by Alphas who want her dead, claimed by a King she doesn’t trust, and stalked by a prophecy that says “the next Luna will break the throne or bless it”, Ayla must rise—not as someone’s mate…but as the Luna they tried to erase.

Chapter: 8: FIRE BENEATH THE SKIN"I don't want to do this," I said flatly."Too bad," replied Rylan.He crouched in front of me bare-chested, sleeves pushed to his elbows and his dark skin softly shimmering in the firelight. Between us was a black stone bowl containing water, mashed leaves of moonvine, and a single drop of my blood.I sat facing them, arms folded.This ritual is illegal in all territories," I told him. "Bond magic is sacred. You interfere with it, you undo it.He didn't lift his head. "This doesn't violate anything. It reveals. If your bond was severed completely, nothing will happen.""And if it weren't?""Then your wolf will not be able to lie."I swallowed hard."Last chance to change your mind," he said.I should have.But instead, I whispered, "Do it.".He lit the herbs with a match, and the bowl sent up a violet flame that sizzled.Smoke curled upward in a lazy spiral.Rylan then leaned out and gently placed two fingers on my pulse."Calm down."His fingers were warm.Not possessive—clinical.Bu

Chapter: 7: THE ESCAPE‘The chains were hot. Then cold. Then… gone.’They fell away like mist, metal turning to dust as I sat up in the dark, gasping. The silver had burned into my wrists — but the wounds were already healing. Too fast—My wolf was active again, and she wasn’t silent anymore.I didn’t need telling twice. I stood, dizzy but steady, and pressed my palm against the rusted cell door, it creaked open before I touched it. I blinked, someone had unlocked it. I stepped into the corridor.Silence, no guards, no footsteps. Just the heavy smell of damp stone and something sharper beneath it, blood. I moved through the tunnel on bare feet, heart hammering, tracking the scent. It wasn’t fresh — older, sour like a warning.The stairwell loomed ahead, lit by a single guttering torch.I was halfway up when I saw him. Jarek, one of the younger warriors. Not high-ranked, not trusted but kind. He stood at the top, breathing hard, holding a ring of keys slick with sweat.His eyes widened when he saw me free. “Yo

Chapter: 6: THE SCENT THAT SHOULDN'T BEThe door to the vault hissed as I turned the rune key—my mother’s old one, burned into wolfbone and hidden beneath the floor for years.It clicked once, then again and opened.The vault was cold and dark, lined with iron drawers and oaken shelves stacked to the ceiling. The air reeked of lunar herbs, dried bloodroot, and dust older than me. I held my breath as I stepped inside, closing the door behind me. No one was allowed in this room alone—not even ranked healers.But I wasn’t just hunting medicine tonight. I was hunting proof. I moved quickly, my fingers ghosted across labeled bottles, jars, and sealed satchels. I ignored the usual ingredients—healing blends, poultices, sedatives. What I needed was rarer and more dangerous:Moonvine powder.Ashroot oil.A binding catalyst.My hand stopped on a row of velvet-lined vials. Three were full, one was half-empty. Its seal was cracked, the stopper glistened wet. I lifted it to my nose, it was:Lavender.Moonflower.My scent.Not all of it

Chapter: 5: THE ALPHA KING ARRIVESThe council courtyard had been swept clean, the torches lit and dressed in crimson banners. I stood behind the lower medic line, blending into the sea of Beta ranks, trying not to be noticed.The sky churned gray over the trees. He arrived like thunder.No horns. No announcement. Just the sharp clatter of hooves and paws on stone, then sudden silence as six massive wolves—guards—stalked through the gate.And behind them: Kael, the Alpha King. He didn’t walk, he moved like the air parted for him. Black leather, gold trim, shoulders like carved stone beneath a travel-worn cloak. His jaw was dusted with dark stubble, hair tousled by wind, eyes the color of molten amber set under thick brows.His wolf shadowed him. You could feel it—raw, untamed, pressing against the edge of his skin like a beast barely contained. Everyone bowed low, I didn’t. Not because I was bold—because my body wouldn’t move.My wolf stirred inside me for the first time in days. Not in warning but in recognition.Kael

Chapter: 4: THE ASH LEFT BEHINDI woke up choking on smoke.No fire. Just the aftertaste of something scorched—burned wood, fur, and air gone bitter with magic.I sat up fast. My fingers glowed. Faint, silver markings crawled across the backs of my hands, curling over my knuckles in tiny loops and teeth like lines. I didn’t recognize the script, but I knew what it meant.Moon-blessed, and moon-marked wolves were rarely left alive. 0My heartbeat thundered.I looked around. I was alone in the cot behind the healer ward. My cloak was still damp with dew from the forest. My boots were muddy. The smell of the spring clung to my skin like vapor.And beneath that—ash. I scrubbed my hands raw in the basin until the silver faded, blinking back panic.I caught my reflection in the water. The same hollow eyes. But something behind them had changed. Not healed. Not angry. Awaken.The healer ward was already full by the time I walked in. Warriors bled onto bandages. Apprentices shouted for tinctures. Someone howled as his should

Chapter: 3: BROKEN YET BREATHINGThe scent of antiseptic and blood was thicker than ever.I shoved open the door to the healer’s ward with more force than I meant to. The wooden frame cracked against the stone wall with a bang. Nobody looked up.Because nobody cared. That was the way it worked for healers. We were invisible unless someone was bleeding. And even then—if you were an Omega, you were the last one thanked and the first one blamed.I walked to the table in the corner, dropping my pack with a grunt. My muscles shook as I pulled out herbs, bandages, blades. I needed work. I needed to focus. I needed something to hold on to, because if I let go, even for a second, I was going to scream, or worse—beg.And I’d rather bleed out quietly than beg.“Ayla.” Beta Larin’s voice barked from the door. “That gash on Braven’s leg reopened. Fix it before the next patrol.”I nodded once, he didn’t even say thank you. Just tossed a bloodied tunic on the floor and walked off like I was some low-rank servant. I grabbed the sti

Chapter: 109: THE THOUSAND-YEAR COUNCIL"Some stories end. Others echo forward forever, shaping worlds yet unborn."One Thousand Years After the WarThe amphitheater had been built for this specific purpose—to hold the Millennial Council, where representatives from across the known world gathered to commemorate the thousand-year anniversary of the Great War and to hear from the last living witness.Elara stood backstage, preparing herself. At a thousand and thirty-five years old—give or take, she'd stopped counting precisely after the first few centuries—she was the oldest living being in recorded history. Functionally immortal, unchanged from the day of her reconstitution, she'd watched empires rise and fall, technologies evolve beyond recognition, and the coalition she'd helped build transform into something approaching utopia."Are you ready?" The question came from Kael—not the same Kael from five hundred years ago, but Lerder's seventeenth incarnation. This time he'd returned as a man again, forty-three years old, with

Every resurrection, a second chance at first moments."One Year After ReconstitutionElara woke to sunlight streaming through the bedroom window and took a moment—as she did every morning—to marvel at the simple fact that she could wake at all.Solid. Physical. Real.Beside her, Lerder still slept, his breathing deep and steady. At seventy, he deserved rest after everything he'd given. She watched him for a moment, studying the lines age had carved into his face, the silver in his hair, the way his hands—once so strong—now showed the tremor of approaching elderhood.They'd lost fifty years. She'd returned to find him old where she remained as she'd been—thirty-five, frozen at the moment of dispersal.It should have been tragic. Should have felt like cruel timing, to be reunited only to face the reality that he was nearing the end of his natural life while she was beginning hers anew.But somehow, it wasn't tragic at all.Ever

Phoenix ash collected from three separate natural deaths. Dragon tears obtained through decades of patient diplomacy with eastern clans. Starlight crystallized during the previous lunar eclipse. And a dozen other rare materials, each one representing years of dedicated effort.The impossible had become possible.Now came the hard part: deciding whether to actually do it.Lerder stood in the vault, staring at the assembled components.

People had camped outside all night to ensure their seats, treating this vote with the gravity it deserved. By the time the sun crested the mountains, every seat was occupied and hundreds more stood in the aisles, pressed against walls, crowded in doorways.Lerder arrived early with Kira and Eira. Their daughter had insisted on attending, wanting to understand what was being decided about their family's future. They sat in the front row, hands clasped together—a united front, whatever came next.Across the aisle, Alden sat with Maren. The healer looked exhausted, clearly having slept as poorly as Lerder. Their eyes met, and in that moment, they understood each other perfectly: two men watching as strangers decided whether to resurrect their lost loves.Lysandra took the podium as the designated moderator.

Within forty-eight hours, delegations from every settlement were arriving, demanding to participate in a decision that would set precedent for generations."This is getting out of control," Soren said, watching yet another group of travelers file through the city gates. "We've had seven hundred new arrivals in two days. Housing is strained, food supplies are being depleted faster than anticipated, and everyone has an opinion they're desperate to share.""Good." Lerder stood at his office window, observing the chaos below. "This shouldn't be decided by a handful of people. It affects everyone—sets the standard for what we're willing to risk, what we value, how we honor sacrifice.""Easy for you to say. You're not the one managing logistics." But Soren's complaint was

This time, they would ask the question that could change everything.Lerder stood at the chamber's edge, watching the preparations with a knot of anxiety in his chest. Beside him, Kira held his hand—a gesture of support that felt both comforting and heartbreaking."You don't have to be here," he told her quietly. "This is—it's going to be difficult.""Which is exactly why I should be here." She squeezed his hand. "Whatever happens, we face it together.

The Billionaire’s Gilded Cage
"One bride. One billionaire. One deadly secret."
Chaewon Kim has never questioned the price of being the daughter of a powerful chaebol—but nothing can prevent her from being auctioned off in a marriage of convenience to Jian Lee, Seoul's most mysterious billionaire. Merciless, genius, and heartbreaking, Jian is the man her father has waged war with for years… and now, he's her husband.
Imprisoned in a gilded cage of privilege and deception, Chaewon is compelled to play a game where every smile hides a threat, and every whispered promise might be a trap. But on her wedding night, when a strange black feather is discovered—a ominous reminder of her murdered mother's unsolved killing—Chaewon realizes she's trapped in a much more deadly game.
Secrets, lies, and desire begin when friends collide in the darkness behind mansion walls. Under a dangerous game of treachery and unlawful desire, Chaewon is faced with a decision: will she sacrifice her heart to serve the truth no matter what—or will she simply become one more stunning slave crushed beneath the weight of power.

Behind her, the team assembled—Min-ji, Luna, Hana, Seojun, and Jian. All of them exhausted from the Serpent takedown, but none willing to rest. Not yet."She's here," Han's voice cracked through the comms. "Building secured. No signs of backup."Chaewon's jaw tightened. Raven. The last name on their list. The Circle's psychological architect—the woman who'd erased memories, reconstructed identities, turned victims into willing participants in their own destruction."How do you want to play this?" Jian asked quietly, moving beside her."Carefully." Chaewon turned from the window. "Raven's different from the others. She doesn't fight. She manipulates.
