Rejected By The Alpha
Lila of Silverfang was supposed to become Luna.
On the night of the Choosing Moon, fate binds her to Kael Nightbane—the future Alpha of a rival pack, the mate the Moon itself has chosen for her. But in front of both packs, Kael does the unthinkable.
He rejects her.
Publicly. Brutally. Permanently.
Exposed as an illegitimate heir to kael abd his father and stripped of her future, Lila is left shattered as the bond meant to unite them violently breaks. But rejection does not end her story—it awakens it.
Fleeing the ruins of her old life, Lila stumbles into a forgotten fortress where she uncovers a buried truth: she is not just Silverfang blood. She is Moonblooded—part of a cursed, forgotten lineage of wolves blessed with divine power… and feared by history itself.
With her powers unstable and dangerous, Lila is taken in by Ardan, a rogue Alpha with secrets of his own, who trains her to survive the power rising inside her. But survival is not enough.
Two years later, she returns under a new name—Selene.
No longer the girl who was rejected, she becomes a force the world cannot ignore: a rogue wolf who hunts in silence, dismantling Nightbane patrols and rewriting fear into legend.
But the closer she gets to power, the more the past refuses to stay buried.
Because Kael Nightbane is no longer just the boy who rejected her.
He is an Alpha.
And he is beginning to realize that the woman he cast aside… might be the most dangerous truth his world has ever tried to erase.
In a world where power is inherited, feared, and stolen, Selene must decide:
Will she reclaim the bond that broke her…
Or become the storm that destroys everything that rejected her?

Chapter: Chapter 37 — His Father ArrivesKael's POV The door had barely closed behind Lila before I let out the breath I had been holding. She had asked for space, and I was going to give it to her. Whatever had happened between us tonight had been her choice, just as much as it had been mine. I wasn't going to turn it into something it wasn't or use it as proof that the distance between us had disappeared. I had spent too long making decisions on her behalf to start doing it again simply because she had let me close for one night. But tomorrow was still coming, and with it, the council presentation. They would expect answers. They would want to know who Selene Vale was, where she came from, and why I had chosen her. The identity we had given Lila was enough to get her through the door, but it wouldn't survive a room full of council members determined to examine every detail of her life. If I wanted her to stand beside me without giving them an opening to tear apart the story, every part of her background needed to hold

Chapter: Chapter 36 — Scenting (Dual POV)Kael’s POVI had her pinned against the heavy wood of the door, my hands anchoring her hips as she faced me. I devoured her mouth, my lips moving against hers with a desperate intensity I had repressed for two agonizing years. It all felt like a dream, my mind struggling to grasp the idea that she was actually kissing me.Lila.The girl I had rejected two years ago. The girl I had spent years mourning in silence.My mate.And somehow, despite everything I had done to her, she was here, letting me kiss her.Every instinct in my wolf roared to life, thrilled by the sheer reality of her in my arms. The bond surged so hard that my wolf nearly broke through the surface, and a deep, primal groan reverberated from my chest.I needed more. I needed her to kiss me back, to taste her tongue and so much more, but I settled for sucking on her bottom lip and pushing my tongue into her mouth.She gasped against my lips and pushed hard on my chest.She pulled her mouth back, her lips leaving mine wi

Chapter: Chapter 35 — On My TermsLila’s POVLater that day, I found Kael in the Eastern Chambers.There was something almost irritating about the way my feet instinctively carried me through the corridors to him, even when my mind was too occupied to understand why. I stopped outside his door and stood there for a moment, feeling him on the other side.The bond stirred harder.That familiar pull moved through my chest, warm and insistent. I hated it, but this time, I didn't turn away from it. I raised my hand and knocked.The door opened almost immediately.Kael stood there, his hair slightly disheveled and his sleeves rolled to his forearms. He looked like he'd been waiting for me. His dark eyes found mine, and for one brief second, something almost like relief crossed his face before caution replaced it."Lila."I folded my arms. "We need to talk."His expression tightened. "I thought you didn't want to speak to me.""I didn't."He blinked. "But?""But I've thought about it."He stepped aside, and I walked in.The

Chapter: Chapter 34 — No ChoiceLila’s POVI had decided Kael Nightbane no longer existed.At least, not for me.Unfortunately, my bond had never cared about my decisions.I felt him before I saw him—that familiar pull, infuriating and impossible to ignore.I kept walking.When his footsteps followed, I ignored them. When the bond tugged at me, I forced it down. When my instincts screamed at me to turn around, I refused.I hated that some part of me still reacted to him without my permission.I could remember his rejection. The humiliation of standing before an entire court while my mate told me he didn't want me. I could remember everything, every decision he'd made for me since.But none of it mattered to the bond.It still recognized him.And apparently, so did I.I hated him for that and myself more.So I made a simple decision: avoid him.If he spoke, I would keep walking. If he stood in my way, I would go around him. If the bond pulled me toward him, it could drag me straight into the ground before I listened.

Chapter: Chapter 33 — Beneath the MoonKael's POVI could not sleep that night. Every time I closed my eyes, my mind drifted to her.Lila standing against that shelf.Her eyes full of anger.Her hand against my chest.The words she had left me with still lodged beneath my ribs."I'd rather feel the pain of a rejection bond ten times over than trust you."I had heard worse things in my life.I had been threatened by wolves twice my size, challenged by Alphas who wanted my territory, and watched men die because they had underestimated the consequences of crossing Nightbane.None of it had followed me into the dark the way her voice did.So I remained awake.Sitting beside the window of my chambers, staring into the night while the pack slept around me.The bond was quiet.Too quiet.For the first time since Lila woke up several weeks ago, there was no sharp pull beneath my chest. No restless awareness of where she was. No phantom sense of her breathing somewhere beyond the walls.Just silence.Then something shifted.I strai

Chapter: Chapter 32 — The Pieces That Don't FitLila’s POV I slammed my bedroom door harder than necessary.The sound echoed through the room.If he didn’t already know I harbored the intent to strangle him until ever prescious drop of life drains from his body then I'm sure the bang of door should have given him a fair idea.I paced toward the bed, still fuming.The nerve of him.The absolute, unbelievable nerve.Kael had spent years making it very clear that he wanted nothing to do with me. He had rejected me in front of everyone. He had made me believe that whatever had existed between us had been nothing but a mistake.Now suddenly he couldn't stand being near me without looking like he was fighting some internal war.And somehow that had become my problem.I stopped beside the bed and folded my arms."You have no idea what you're doing to me."I could still hear his voice reverberating through my mind.A violent shudder raked through my body, my skin crawling from his stupid unnecessary confession.The sheer audacity of him t
