Rejected Luna, Fated to the Exiled Alpha
"I promise you... when I return, I'll finally make you my Luna."
How could I have been so stupid to believe him?
For three years, I faithfully served as the acting Luna of Moonpeak Pack, holding onto my chosen mate's promise that he would make me his Luna when he returned. If I had known he would come back with another woman by his side instead, I would have walked away long before he ever returned.
Cast out, betrayed, and forced to survive as a rogue, Hannah loses everything she once believed in, until fate leads her to Derek, an exiled Alpha who has nothing left except a broken past and a heart still capable of love…Together, they begin to build a new life together as mates.
With no pack to call their own and danger closing in from every side, Hannah and Derek must fight to protect their love, their unborn child, and the future they refuse to lose even when old flames threaten to arise.
With two Alphas fighting for her, a pack waiting to be reclaimed, and a child on the way, Hannah soon realizes that the greatest battle is not for a title…but for the future she is determined to protect

Chapter: chapter 6HannahI stood inside the bedroom, my heart pounding against my ribs,as I tried to hear what they were saying outside, and the word "Alpha" still echoing in my mind. If Derek was just a lone wolf living in the woods, why did someone call him that? My curiosity won and I leaned forward, pressing my ear against the cool wood of the door to catch more.I strained to listen, but the door handle was old and loose. As I shifted my weight, my hand slipped, and the handle turned under my palm. I lost my balance. I stumbled forward, my feet tangling in my own legs, and I crashed through the door, landing hard on the wooden floor of the outer room.My face heated up with total embarrassment. I scrambled to get up, my hair falling into my eyes. I looked up and saw Derek standing there. Beside him stood a massive man with a thick beard and tired eyes. They both looked at me, surprised.My first instinct was to run. I did not know who this other man was, and I still did not know the truth about

Chapter: chapter 5HannahI woke up slowly. The air was warm, and the smell of fresh rain and the forest filled the room. I was lying in a soft bed with thick blankets tucked tightly around me. I looked at my hands and sat up quickly, my heart beating fast. Where was I?The room was small but clean. A fire crackled in the stone fireplace, casting a soft orange glow over everything. I heard a quiet sound near the door, and the man who saved me walked into the room. He carried a wooden bowl with steaming soup.He stopped when he saw me sitting up. He stayed near the door, keeping his distance to show he was not a threat."You are awake," he said. His voice was really deep. "I am Derek."I stared at him. Up close, I saw his dark, kind eyes and the strong line of his jaw. As he stepped closer, the scent of rain and pine grew stronger. My heart began pounding again. My wolf recognized him fully now. The bond pulled at my chest, warm and overwhelming.He was my true mate.Derek set the bowl down on a small

Chapter: chapter 4Hannah The cold was no longer just outside; it had settled deep into my bones. I had been walking for three days without a real meal. My body felt like it belonged to someone else. Every step was a fight against gravity. I was not just hungry; I was completely empty.I reached a small, rocky overhang near the base of a dark cliff. It offered little protection, but it was all I could manage. My legs gave out, and I collapsed onto the freezing ground. I curled into a ball, pulling my tattered dress tight around me, but it did nothing to stop the shivering.I stared at the dark forest ahead and I thought about the Moonpeak Pack. I thought about Brian, who had thrown me away like trash, and Ava, who had stolen everything I had ever loved. I remembered my brother, the last person who truly cared for me, and the way I had felt when his light went out.What was the point?I was tired of being hunted. I was tired of being chased away from every border like a disease. I was tired of the hung

Chapter: chapter 3HannahBrian finally released his grip, and I collapsed onto the cold kitchen tiles. Air rushed into my burning lungs, fast and painful. I clutched my throat, coughing until my chest ached. I looked up at him, pleading for a shred of mercy from the man who had promised to love me, but his eyes were flat, cold stones."Brian, please," I rasped. "I did not do it. She lied to you.""Shut up!" he roared. He turned away, his voice dripping with disgust. "Get her out of my packhouse. Throw her out of the territory immediately.""Brian, no! This is my home!" I screamed, but it was useless.Three guards lunged forward. They pinned my arms, their fingers digging into my skin, and dragged me toward the back exit. I kicked and fought, but I was weak from the shock. As I was dragged out, I glanced back. Ava stood behind Brian. She cradled her hand, but her eyes were fixed on me with a sharp, triumphant smirk. The memory of her voice echoed in my head: “You will leave when I say you leave”.They

Chapter: chapter 2HannahLater that evening, I walked to Brian's office. I needed to speak with him alone. I knocked on the heavy door."Come in," Brian called out.I walked inside. He sat behind his large desk, buried in paperwork. "Brian, we need to talk," I said.He sighed and put his pen down. "What is it, Hannah? I am very busy.""I am teaching Ava as you asked," I started, keeping my voice steady. "But I want to talk about my future. Even though I am hurt, I do not think I should have to leave the pack when I am finished. This is my only home. My friends are here. I will step down from any authority, but please, do not force me away."Brian frowned. "We already discussed this.""I know," I said. "But you broke your promise to me. I deserve to stay in my home.""You cannot stay, Hannah," he said coldly. "My mate is not comfortable. Ava knows about our past, and she wants you gone. I agree with her. It is better for everyone if you leave."I stared at him. This was the man I planned to spend my lif

Chapter: chapter 1Hannah"I promise you... when I return, I'll finally make you my Luna."I remembered Brian’s exact words. He said them to me two weeks ago in front of the whole pack before he left for his meeting and today, he was finally coming back home.I felt so excited I could barely stand still. I woke up very early this morning. I put on my blue dress because I wanted to look perfect for him. For three years, I worked as the acting Luna of the Moonpeak Pack. I managed the food, helped organized the patrols, and assisted the pack members. I loved the pack, and I loved Brian. We planned to lead the pack together and my dream was finally coming true."Good morning, Hannah!" Mark, a young warrior, called out as I walked through the main hall. He bowed his head to show respect."Good morning, Mark," I replied with a wide smile."The Alpha is coming back today. We are all very excited for you," he said. "You will definitely be our official Luna by tonight.""Thank you, Mark," I said. My heart felt

Chapter: chapter 98TamaraI honestly thought I was losing my mind when North walked across the dining hall and sat down right next to me.What on earth was he doing here? He had never once left the Alpha's seat in all the time I had known him. Next to me, Raven nearly choked on a piece of roasted meat, coughing wildly as his eyes bulged out in shock.I dropped my head down toward my plate, my face burning with heat, and hissed under my breath to North, "What are you doing?"North didn't look at me or anyone else. He just picked up his fork and said calmly, "I'm eating."I wanted to snap back at him, to tell him how crazy this was, but I bit my tongue and decided against it. The rest of dinner passed in a haze of whispers and staring eyes.After dinner ended and everyone began clearing away the plates, the entire pack house was buzzing with excitement and shock. It was practically impossible for anyone to wrap their heads around the Alpha leaving his seat to eat where the lower-ranked wolves sat.Rave

Chapter: chapter 97North The evening lights were already stretching across the grounds when I finally found my way to Elder Miko’s secluded cottage. The air was cold, but I barely felt it beneath the numbing weight crushing my chest.When Miko opened her door and saw me standing outside in the dark, she didn't ask questions. She simply stood out, studying my face, and asked quietly what brought me here at this hour.“North, What brings you here?”I didn't say a single word. I couldn't. My throat was too tight, choked by a suffocating mixture of shame and grief. I just walked over to her porch and sank down onto the wooden step, staring blindly down at my hands.Elder Miko must have noticed that I was physically unable to speak. Without asking again, she stepped outside and sat down right next to me on the cold boards.I didn't know exactly when the first drop of moisture left my eyes. When was the last time I had cried? Years ago?Maybe when my mother died. I couldn't even remember. But this time, I d

Chapter: chapter 96North I stood motionless watching Tamara walk away after laying bare every bitter, painful truth I had been too blind to see.When had it all gone so wrong?It wasn't meant to be like this. This suffocating anger, this boiling rage that controlled my every action, it wasn't who I wanted to be. My father had always been hard on me, and losing my mother had created a hole in my chest that I had never managed to patch up. But they were still my parents, and losing her had broken something in me, leaving me trapped in a cycle of grief and bitterness.Why was I constantly chasing everyone away? Why was I destroying the very people who stood by my side?Tamara was entirely right. What have I actually done for my pack lately? What kind of leader was I becoming? Everything felt horribly wrong.Before my thoughts could spiral any further, I received a frantic mindlink. “Alpha, two dead bodies had just been found at the northern border.”An angry growl ripped from my throat, and my bones s

Chapter: chapter 95Tamara Without waiting another second, I reached out, grabbed North's hands, and forcefully dragged him away from the wreckage of the kitchen, pulling him out past Lucia and Kain and all the way outside away from prying eyes.I whipped around to face him with fury burning in my chest as I demanded, "What the hell have you done for this pack since I came back?"He blinked, taken aback, and didn't answer."I asked you a question," I snapped, stepping closer. "What have you actually done that proves you're a good Alpha right now? Are you seriously doing this? After everything we've been through, you still want to tear apart Kain and Lucia's bond just to feed your own anger?""Do you know what her father..." North started, his voice rising defensively."Her father, North! Not her!" I shouted, cutting him off completely. "Why on earth do you want to punish her for something her father did? She finally found a safe home and a true mate who loves her, and you want to rip that away from her.

Chapter: chapter 94TamaraWe all stood crowded around the large wooden table inside the war room, where the air felt so thick and suffocating that every breath came harder than the last, while sweat clung to our skin as we silently prepared ourselves for whatever we would receive from North. I stood beside Kain, and although he was naturally a strong, imposing man who rarely looked shaken, I could almost feel the crushing fear gripping his heart as he stood unnaturally still.My eyes drifted toward Serena. She looked completely devastated.Her shoulders had fallen, her face had lost every trace of its usual confidence, and her eyes seemed fixed on something none of us could see.Deep down, I already knew. Alpha Nolan's cold, blank-faced son was her mate. The thought twisted painfully inside my chest because I couldn't imagine a crueler bond than one tied to the enemy's son, and if he was anything like the monster who had raised him, there was almost nothing waiting for her except heartbreak.Then anot

Chapter: chapter 93Tamara "We do not have what you're looking for," I said, holding my ground as the tension around us grew heavier with every passing second.Alpha Nolan smiled coldly, before shaking his head."You're lying."His eyes locked onto mine."She is here.""And how would I know that," I asked, narrowing my eyes, "when I don't even know who you're looking for?"His smile widened."I thought you'd say that."He lifted one hand, gesturing for one of his men to step forward.The wolf reached into his jacket and pulled out an old, folded photograph before holding it toward me.I reached for it.Just as my fingers were about to take it, I caught the faintest glimpse of an eerily familiar face–A loud growl echoed through the clearing and every head snapped toward our line.It was North.He stormed forward, shoving past our warriors as though nothing in the world could stop him, his wolf practically roaring beneath his skin.Alpha Nolan threw his head back and laughed."Well… well…well."He looked

Chapter: Side story 11GWEN 10 YEARS LATER The pack house was filled with noise and movement from the early hours of the morning. Today was my second son, Alex's seventh birthday, and no one was allowed to sit still for long. I had been up since dawn, checking the decorations in the hall, making sure the cake had arrived, and giving instructions to the omegas who were helping with the food. “Please put the extra tables near the windows,” I said, pointing at the far end of the hall. “And bring out the chairs from the storage room. There will be more guests than usual.” “Yes, Luna,” they replied quickly, hurrying to do as I asked. The children were outside already, running and screaming with excitement before the party even began. I could hear their laughter through the open windows, and every few seconds my daughter Raya’s voice rang above the others, usually bossing her brother around. “Raya!” I shouted from the doorway when I caught sight of her hitting Alex with a stick. “Do not hit your brothe

Chapter: Side story 10ALPHA CONAN The cell was silent except for the faint dripping of water. Archer’s chains clinked when he shifted slightly, but he had no real strength left. He hung against the wall, skin torn and bruised, yet still smiling.That smirk was the last straw.I stepped forward and slammed my fist across his face. His head snapped to the side, blood flying from his mouth. He groaned but then gave a short laugh.I punched him again, harder, until the smirk vanished. His lip split open, and blood ran down his chin.“Laugh now,” I growled, grabbing his hair and yanking his head back.He spat blood at my feet. “This is all you can do?”I kneed him in the stomach, the air rushing out of him in a harsh grunt. While he struggled to breathe, I clawed at his chest, dragging deep lines into his skin until the blood poured freely. His scream echoed through the stone chamber, raw and sharp.I leaned close. “This is for every thought you had of her.”He groaned, trying to lift his head, but I smashed h

Chapter: Side story 9ALPHA CONANI had not spoken a word of this to Gwen. She thought Archer had disappeared without a trace, but I knew better. Men like Archer did not disappear quietly. They hid, they plotted, and they waited for a moment of weakness to strike.For weeks, I gathered pieces of information quietly. I did not question anyone directly inside the Mystic Pack, because word traveled fast and I could not risk Gwen hearing of it. Instead, when I traveled for meetings or border patrols, I pressed for answers from warriors of other lands. Some claimed they had not seen him. Others said he had crossed their territory briefly but left in haste. Then, one night during a meeting at the southern border, I got word from a man who dealt in supplies that Archer had been taken captive in Alpha Oren’s lands.I said nothing then, but the moment I returned to my office I began planning my trip. I had not told Alpha Oren about my visit, it was too delicate to talk about over the phone.Rian offered to accompa

Chapter: Side story 8GWENI woke up to the sound of thousands of voices filling my head. They overlapped and rushed through me like a flood, men and women, young and old, some laughing, some arguing, some worrying. It was unbearable, and I let out a groan, clutching my head with both hands.The sound was not outside…it was inside my mind. I could hear them all at once.Conan stirred immediately beside me, his hand reaching for me. His voice came sharp with worry. “Gwen, what is wrong?”I whimpered, unable to stop the sound that left my throat. “I can hear them. All of them. Every single voice. It’s so loud, Conan. Stop it please.”His tone softened instantly, filled with understanding “It is the bond. It opened completely last night. You are connected now, not just to me, but to the entire pack through me. It is too much at once. Look at me, Gwen.”I shook my head, rocking slightly, pressing my palms against my ears as though that would block it out. “It will not stop. It will not stop.”He sat up quickl

Chapter: Side story 7ALPHA CONANThe forest echoed with the sound of paws hitting the ground. I chased after Gwen, and every time I thought I was close enough to catch her, she pushed herself faster, her silver fur flashing between the trees. She wanted this chase, she wanted to test me, and I was more than willing to give her everything she asked for.I pushed harder, matching her speed, closing the gap between us little by little. She darted left and right, but I refused to give her the satisfaction of escaping. Finally, as she slowed to glance back at me, I surged forward and leapt. My weight pressed her down just enough to pin her before she twisted around and pushed me off, growling in play.We circled each other, snapping harmlessly, teasing, testing strength. She jumped forward and pushed me again before darting back with a playful bark. I followed, and soon we were running side by side, neither giving up ground, both filled with raw energy.When the teasing had gone on long enough, I huffed, telli

Chapter: Side story 6ALPHA CONANWhen I entered the room, Gwen was already asleep. The moonlight came in through the window and rested on her. She looked so peaceful that for a moment I just stood there, watching her breathe. I asked myself how I could have been so blind before, how I could have taken so long to see what was in front of me.I walked quietly to the bathing room, took off my clothes, and let the water wash away the sweat from training. When I was done, I dried myself and came back to bed. I slid under the blanket carefully so I would not wake her, but she stirred almost immediately. Without opening her eyes, she moved closer to me, her body pressing against mine.A smile came to my lips as I wrapped an arm around her.“You are back,” she mumbled, her voice heavy with sleep.“Yes,” I answered softly. “I am done training.”“Good,” she whispered. “Now sleep.”I brushed my hand down her arm. “Go back to sleep, Gwen.”She let out a tired sigh, then the words came faintly from her lips. “I love y
