Bound To The Rejected Lycan King
Vaelora Arden was born to privilege as the daughter of Alpha Theron Arden of the powerful Nightbane Pack. Destined to marry feared Lycan King Lucerian Veyth and unite two powerful bloodlines, she instead chose love over duty. Believing Alpha Kaiven Drax loved her more than power, Vaelora abandoned her title, inheritance, and family to run away with him.
Her sacrifice soon turned into nightmare. Once her family disowned her and cut her off from their wealth, Kaiven's affection vanished ,humiliated, and forced to endure his endless infidelities, Vaelora clung to her failing marriage until a violent confrontation led to loss of her unborn child. Broken abandoned, she returned home in disgrace.
Desperate to restore their damaged alliance, her family offers her one chance at redemption: marry the Lycan King she once rejected.
Lucerian accepts, but not out of love. Kaiven is his hated stepbrother, and Lucerian has spent years plotting revenge. Their marriage begins as cold political arrangement built on mutual wounds and resentment. Yet as war erupts and secrets are revealed, Vaelora discovers that beneath Lucerian's ruthless exterior lies lonely, broken man burdened by grief and hatred.
As they grow closer, love blossoms where neither expected it. Together they bring down Kaiven's empire, but victory comes at terrible cost when Vaelora is gravely wounded and learns she's pregnant again. When Lucerian orders the pregnancy terminated, she leaves him, devastated.
Only later does she discover the truth: Lucerian is dying from a rare illness and wanted to spare her the pain of raising a child alone. Faced with an impossible choice, Vaelora sacrifices her unborn child to save the man she loves.
In the end, love triumphs over betrayal. Lucerian survives, Vaelora is crowned his true Luna, and together they finally build the family and future they once thought impossible.

Chapter: CHAPTER 4 — The King She BetrayedVaelora’s POVI didn't get much sleep that night.I left the file open on my desk close to my bed until past midnight, and though I looked away at it numerous times, my eyes always came back.The alliance contract.The marriage agreement.The evidence of my life's failure.I sat in silence and just looked at the papers for an hour and more.Each page was like a waking up call to my former self.Each page was a reminder of the man I had become.Slowly, I picked up the alliance contract again.The seal of Nightbane Pack looked back at me.My fingers clenched around the sides.Three years ago, I had stolen this document.I was confident that at the time, I was doing something good.Something brave.Something romantic.Kaiven had informed me that my parents were attempting to dictate my future.He said that they didn't know our love.He explained to me that with the alliance, he would finally be able to save his pack and prove to all that he was good enough for me.I had taken everything

Chapter: CHAPTER 3 — No Longer a DaughterVaelora’s POV I opened my eyes once again, and all was heavy. My head hurt. My body hurt. It was very hard to breathe.I looked at the ceiling for a few seconds and couldn't remember where I was. Then I remembered what they had done, the rejection, the pain, the claws growing out of my fingers, Nysera screaming, Kaiven backing away, the terror.I gulped in at a shaky breath.Instinctively, I looked down at my hands. Relief flooded me. Its claws were missing. My hands were normal again, at least on the outside. The fear remained. What went wrong inside me was still there.I slowly turned my head.I was paralysed by the movement.There was a man sitting by my bed.My father.Alpha Theron Arden.So I looked at him for a few seconds and just stared. He seemed older than I remembered. There was the day I chose Kaiven over my family, the day he disowned me, that was the last time I saw him in person, 3 years ago.His dark hair was now tinged with more grey. His eyes looked darker, and his

Chapter: CHAPTER 2 — RejectedVaelora’s POV The first thing I felt was pain. It was not the sharp, painful kind of pain that had preceded it—the kind that you wouldn't want to feel. Heavy. Deep. All my limbs had been broken and then mended.It seemed like my eyelids were so heavy I couldn't open them. White ceiling. White walls. The regular sound of healthcare machinery. Very slight antiseptic odor. A hospital.I just looked up for several seconds to see where I had come from. Then it all came rushing back—Kaiven, Nysera, the fight, the blood, the pain.My hand went straight to my tummy. I was frightened. “No…” I tried to get to my feet, but my voice croaked out. The movement rippled through my body and caused me pain.The door of the hospital room opened, and a female doctor came in. She appeared to be in her late 40s, and her dark hair was combed into a neat bun. When she saw that I was awake, she had a smile of relief cross her face.“Mrs. Drax.”I clasped the blanket in my hands. “My baby.”The doctor's face

Chapter: CHAPTER 1 — The Last StrawVaelora’s POV I woke up smiling. For a few seconds I forgot all that had become my life. I don't remember the cold house, the isolation, or the many nights I cried myself to sleep while my husband was out until morning.Today was important. I had an ultrasound today. I covered my abdomen with my hand and I smiled gently. “Morning” I whispered, “little one.” I had begun talking to my baby at four months pregnant, when I was alone, which was quite a bit of the time. Very often.A smile fell from my face as I walked over to the other side of the bed. Empty. Again. The other papers by my side were left undisturbed. Last night Kaiven didn't come home. There was a familiar pain that settled in my chest. If I would have seen an empty bed 3 years ago, it would have scared me. Now that wasn't really surprising to me.I began to sit up slowly and rubbed my lower abdomen. My pregnancy was not an easy one. My healers gave me a lot of advice to not put myself in stressful situations and to not u
