Alpha's Rejection, Lycan's Claim
What if the night meant to crown you ended up destroying you?
On the night of the Moon Ceremony, Lena thinks she finally knows where she belongs. She feels the bond, clear as daylight, pulling her to Damien—the Alpha she’s loved forever. But instead of claiming her, Damien chooses Selene. In front of everyone.
Humiliated, rejected, and with her father turning his back on her too, Lena makes a choice—she runs.
But the forest is no escape. Rogues hunt her, secrets follow her, and a silver-eyed stranger saves her life. His name is Kael. He’s dangerous, stubborn, and knows more about Lena than he should. Worse, Selene seems to know him too—and she’s not just after Lena’s place as Luna. She wants her dead.
What Lena doesn’t know is that Kael isn’t just a rogue. He’s something older. Something stronger. A Lycan King lost to time, his memories scattered like ash. And whether he remembers or not, his fate is tied to hers.
Lena doesn’t understand why Selene called her “sister.” She doesn’t know why her wolf glows silver in the moonlight. Or why Kael looks at her like he’s seen her before.
She knows just one thing: nothing about her rejection is simple.
Because the truth is way bigger, darker, and deadlier than she ever imagined. And once it’s revealed, Lena won’t just be fighting for a place in the pack — she’ll be fighting for her life, Kael’s hidden crown, and the fire inside her that refuses to die.
The only question is: who will find her first?

Chapter: Fire in the VeinsEverything felt too fast.Kael’s words were still in the air — not Kael, Kaelion, last son of the Lycan throne — when my whole chest just went boom, like BOOM-BOOM-BOOM and suddenly it was all fire, fire everywhere.I couldn’t even scream. My wolf did it for me, howling so loud in my head I thought my skull would crack open.And then it was all silver.Silver light on my arms, silver on the ground, silver everywhere and I was so hot and I thought this is it I’m burning alive I’m actually going to catch fire.“Lena!”Kael grabbed me, and wow he was strong, too strong, I couldn’t even move if I wanted to. His claws dug into my arms — not enough to hurt but enough to make me stop thrashing.“Breathe!” he shouted, and it was so loud it cut through the sound of my wolf screaming. “Hold it together, little wolf!”Little wolf.Why did that make me want to cry?“I CAN’T!” I screamed back, because I really, really couldn’t. My chest was too tight and there was too much fire and I couldn’t get

Chapter: I Remember Who I Am“What did you remember?” I blurted. My voice cracked and it sounded too loud in the quiet cave. The atmosphere was so cold and I could barely breathe. The fire that was set at the training ground, was the only thing that kept me warm as the fire popped gradually.Kael’s face looked strange. His silver eyes were shiny but not in a nice way. I don’t like that. “Kael,” I said again, my voice squeaky, “please talk to me. What did you mean?” He finally said it, real slow. “I remember who I am.” in a low voice.Then nothing. Just silence. My ears buzzed like after a shout. I pulled my knees up and bit my lip.Kael stood up so fast I flinched. He started walking back and forth, his boots scraping the dirt, his shoulders tight like he might break. “Kael,” I whispered, “you’re scaring me.”He stopped and stared into the fire for forever. Then he said it like it hurt. “I was a king.”My heart thudded. “A… king?” My voice sounded tiny.He turned toward me. His silver eyes glowed and I swear th

Chapter: The weight of betrayal CHAPTER 5 — The Weight Of Betrayal.They walked in silence until Lena’s voice broke through, sharp enough to prick.“You want to know what I was doing out there?”Kael glanced, but said nothing.She forced the words out, one by one, her throat tight. “I was running. From them. From him. From everything I thought was mine.”His steps slowed.“My father turned his back on me. My best friend betrayed me. And Damien—” She bit the name like it poisoned her mouth. “The love of my life chose someone else. Chose Selene. In front of everyone. Laughed at me with her lips on his. And the pack…” She shook her head, tears cutting down her cheeks. “They all looked at me like I was dirt. Like I didn’t matter.”Her voice broke into a whisper. “And Selene. She doesn’t just hate me. She wants me gone. She wants me erased.”Kael stopped walking. His silver eyes caught hers in the dark. His voice was steady, without edge or softness. Just truth.“She does want you dead.”Lena’s stomach clinched “Why?”“I

Chapter: Sparks in the dark CHAPTER 4 – SPARKS IN THE DARKKael pushed gently aside a curtain of vines, revealing a snug little den nestled into the side of the cliff. It wasn’t what I expected. The stone walls gleamed faint from embers in the hearth. A shelf carved right into the rock held jars and bundles of herbs, neatly tied. Furs and old blankets were layered in one corner, not thrown but stacked in surprising care.I could not stop staring. “This is yours?”Kael took a quick look over his shoulder, the faintiest smile pulling at his mouth. “What, expecting a hole in the ground?”“Well…” I laughed softly. “Something like that. This is… it’s nice. Cozy.”“Cozy,” he repeated, shaking his head. “That’s a new one. You coming in or not?”I stepped inside. The warmth hit me first, then the strange comfort of it. This place didn’t look like a rogue's. It looked like someone who wanted to live, not just only survival.Kael grabbed a folded sheet from a pile and tossed it toward me. “For you.”I caught it, a little

Chapter: Stranger in the shadows CHAPTER 3 – STRANGER IN THE SHADOWS.“Run!”The word shouted in my head as my feet slammed on the dirt path. My lungs burned. My legs felt like jelly. Every breath hurt my chest. Branches hit my arms and cut my face, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t.The howls followed me—low and mean. Not my pack. Rogues.My wolf inside me wanted to fight, wanted to change, but my body was too weak. Too tired. The pendant at my neck swung cold against my skin with every step.A sharp growl ripped through the trees. I jerked my head. Yellow eyes shined from the dark.“oww” I gasped, tripping over a root.The first rogue jumped. Its teeth snapped just inches from my arm. I twisted, hitting the ground hard. My shoulder burned. The beast jumped again.Then—something moved.A crash.A snarl.The rogue flew into a tree.A man stood there. Tall. Strong. Silver eyes flashing in the dark. His chest moved fast. His knuckles were bloody—but not his own.“Get up,” he barked. “Do you want to die here?”I couldn’t. M

Chapter: Cast out CHAPTER 2 - CAST OUTFather!” I shouted, rushing from searching my room. My whole body was in chaos. My hands would not stop quivering. My voice not sounding the way they used to got loud, it bounced off the walls.He was already standing by the table, where the candle burned really low. He kept a hard face, darker than the shadows around him. His eyes were keen, like he didn’t even know me. His arms folded tight.“Lena,” he said. Just my name. Cold.His eyes narrowed more. “Where were you last night?”I froze. I opened my mouth, stayed silent. Then I whispered, “At Emori’s. I stayed there.”His jaw set hard. His voice turned sharp. “You shouldn’t have. Don’t go running to others. Leave me alone, Lena.”As if the whole was was turning against me with the words I keep hearing from the people I love. I held onto his arm like I would fall apart without it. “Why is this happening to me?”Tell me! That fire—what was it? I didn’t mean to do any of what I did yesterday night.I don’t even kno
