Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed by His Billionaire Brother
On her eighteenth birthday, Aria Hale finally feels her wolf stir… just in time to attend the mating ceremony where the Moon Goddess will reveal her destined mate. She has spent her whole life as the pack’s weakest link—her wolf sealed, her power mocked, her future uncertain. But one touch will change everything. When her eyes meet those of Liam Blackwood, the cruel, golden future Alpha of Nightfall Pack, the bond snaps into place. He is her fated mate. Her miracle. Her salvation. And he rejects her on the spot. Humiliated, heartbroken, and banished, Aria thinks her story ends there… until a black car stops on the edge of the territory and the man inside offers her a choice. Damien Blackwood. Liam’s older brother. Cold. Untouchable. A billionaire who left the pack years ago—and the only wolf Liam has ever feared. “Come with me,” Damien says. “I’ll give you a home, protection… and a chance to become strong enough that they will all kneel.” Under his roof, Aria’s “weak” wolf begins to awaken. Dark secrets unravel. And the truth emerges: she is not just any wolf. She is a hidden Omega Queen. When danger threatens the pack that rejected her, Liam comes crawling back, begging for a second chance. But Aria is no longer the powerless girl he threw away. She must choose: the mate who broke her or the brother who rebuilt her—and the throne the Moon Goddess always meant for her to claim.

Chapter: Chapter 38 — The Trial of Voice and FangThe Grand Alpha Conclave opened at dawn.No horns announced it. No banners unfurled.The land itself bore witness.Stone pillars older than recorded history rose from the valley floor in a vast circle, etched with runes that glowed faintly beneath the morning light. This was not neutral ground. It was bound ground. Lies frayed here. Power answered honestly, even when its bearer wished otherwise.Aria felt it the moment she crossed the threshold.Her wolf stirred, not restless, but alert. Measuring. Listening.Around her, Alphas took their places, each standing within the boundary of their ancestral mark. Some radiated confidence. Others carried tension like a held breath. Damien remained just outside the circle, where Kings and Consorts were meant to stand. A visible line drawn for everyone watching.Whispers traveled anyway.“She stands alone.”“She has no crown.”“She has no pack.”Aria lifted her chin.Let them see that too.The Elder Arbiter stepped forward, his staff striking sto

Chapter: Chapter 37 — The Weight of a CrownThe summons went out before dawn.Not by messenger. Not by decree nailed to stone.By instinct.Across territories stitched together by old blood and older magic, wolves lifted their heads as if tugged by an invisible thread. Alphas woke restless. Elders stirred from uneasy dreams. Pack bonds hummed with a low, unfamiliar urgency, like the earth itself shifting beneath ancestral claims.The Grand Alpha Conclave had been invoked.Aria stood on the eastern balcony as the sun crested the horizon, painting the mountains in copper and gold. The wind tugged at her hair, cool and sharp, carrying the scent of pine, ash, and distant rain. Somewhere far below, wolves howled. Not in challenge.In acknowledgment.She rested her hands on the stone railing, grounding herself, feeling the quiet pulse of the land beneath her palms. The mansion no longer felt like a place she was trespassing through. It responded to her now. Doors opened before she touched them. Flames steadied when she passed. Even t

Chapter: Chapter 36 — The One Who Refused to BowThe bowing ended the moment the doors closed.Stone groaned as the council chamber sealed behind them, ancient locks grinding into place, cutting off the murmurs, the politics, the fear masquerading as obedience. The sound echoed down the corridor like a verdict that had not yet finished being written.Aria exhaled.Only then did she realize how tightly she had been holding herself together.The hallway beyond the chamber was long and narrow, lit by iron sconces whose flames flickered uneasily, reacting to the residual power still clinging to her skin. Each step felt heavier than the last, as if the mansion itself were adjusting to her presence, recalibrating centuries of hierarchy around her heartbeat.Her wolf did not relax.If anything, it grew more alert.Damien walked beside her, close but not crowding, his presence a steady pressure at her back. Not shielding her from the world.Standing with her in it.“You held your ground,” he said quietly, eyes forward. “That matters more th

Chapter: Chapter 35 — When the Wolves BowThe council chamber had been carved long before Damien Blackwood was born.Long before his father had worn the crown. Long before Aria Hale had ever been whispered about in prophecy or bloodline records. The stone walls curved inward like the ribs of some ancient beast, etched with sigils meant to suppress magic and expose truth. Power hummed faintly in the air, old and watchful.Aria felt it the moment she stepped inside.Her wolf lifted her head.Not in fear.In recognition.Every eye in the chamber turned toward her.There were twelve council members seated in a half circle, each representing one of the elder packs, bloodlines that had survived wars, purges, and betrayals. Their expressions ranged from curiosity to thinly veiled hostility. Some radiated tightly controlled dominance. Others… unease.Damien walked at her side, close enough that she could feel the heat of him without touching. His presence pressed outward like a shield, an unspoken warning to anyone who thought to cha

Chapter: Chapter 34 — After the FireMorning did not arrive gently.It crept in like a witness.Light spilled through the tall windows in pale ribbons, touching stone, silk, and skin with quiet insistence. Aria stirred as the warmth reached her, not fully awake yet, but aware of the solid presence at her back. Damien’s arm was draped around her waist, heavy and possessive, anchoring her as surely as the magic still humming faintly in her veins.She breathed in slowly.Him.Smoke and iron and something darker, older. Alpha. King. The scent wrapped around her senses, and her wolf responded instantly, stretching beneath her skin, alert and satisfied in a way that was new and dangerous all at once.Last night had not been a dream.The memory pulsed through her like an echo. The heat. The hunger. The way he had looked at her, as if the world had narrowed to just the space where she existed.Aria shifted slightly, testing the reality of it, and Damien reacted immediately.His arm tightened.A low sound rumbled from his chest,

Chapter: Chapter 33 — Flames Between UsThe mansion was silent now, the chaos of battle replaced by the soft crackle of the fire Damien had relit in the private wing. The scent of smoke and scorched earth lingered faintly in the air, mixing with the warmth of their shared exhaustion. Aria leaned against the edge of the hearth, still catching her breath, hair damp with sweat and dust, silver light faintly shimmering along her skin from the battle.Her wolf stirred beneath her, coiling, rolling, impatient, and hungry. She had tasted power tonight, felt it surge through her veins with every spell, every strike, every glance from Damien. And now… the tension between them, the fire that had been simmering since her rejection and his secret protection, was impossible to ignore.“You fought brilliantly,” Damien said, voice low and husky as he entered the room, eyes fixed on her. He didn’t just see her; he felt her—the pull, the heat, the wolf uncoiling beneath her skin. “Stronger than I expected. Stronger than I’ve ever seen.”Ari
