The Rejected Luna’s Hidden Legacy
“I, Alpha Lucien Blackthorn, reject you as my mate and Luna.”
Those seven words shatter Felicia Ashbourne’s world.
Branded wolfless, worthless, and cursed since birth, Felicia spent four years loving an Alpha who only dared love her in secret. But when the beautiful Selene Ravenshade claims she’s carrying Lucien’s heir, he chooses his pack, his crown, and his legacy over the woman who would have given him everything.
Rejected. Banished. Forgotten.
With nothing but the clothes on her back and a strange birthmark she’s hidden her entire life, Felicia is left for dead until a mysterious kingdom rescues her and uncovers an impossible truth.
She was never an orphan.
She is the lost princess of Silvercrest.
Her birthmark isn’t a curse. It’s the seal of the Moon Goddess’s Chosen Queen, and the wolf everyone believed she lacked has been waiting for the right bloodline to awaken.
As kingdoms kneel before their rightful queen, Lucien realizes the greatest mistake of his life. But Felicia is no longer the broken girl he abandoned.
She’s carrying a secret that could change the werewolf world forever four unborn heirs.
Now an Alpha who chose power over love must decide how far he’ll go to win back the queen who no longer needs him.

Chapter: CHAPTER 79: WHAT SHE ALWAYS WASPOV: Felicia"You keep looking for the girl you were supposed to become."I turned. No one there. My mark burned, and I understood the voice had come from the scroll still open in my lap. The ink shifted without moving, words surfacing that hadn't been visible a moment before.THE CHOSEN WILL BELIEVE HER WORTH MUST BE EARNED. SHE WILL BE WRONG.Then: BUT DO NOT MISTAKE BEING CHOSEN FOR BEING RIGHT.Not praise. A warning. The prophecy had never promised I'd be perfect. Only that I'd be capable of carrying the constellation forward.• • •I kept reading, differently this time … not for instructions, for company. The old queens weren't saints in these pages. One brilliant and cruel. One who loved her people and despised anyone who questioned her. One who monitored her own council out of fear. One who abandoned the throne for three years. One who secretly hated being Chosen at all.They inherited impossible weight and sometimes carried it badly. The records were never meant to build sai

Chapter: CHAPTER 78: THE CHILD WHO READ THE PASTPOV: Felicia"Chosen Queen! Wake up. We've lost one of the children."I was out of bed before I'd finished hearing it. I didn't ask which one."Seren," the guard said, and my mark caught fire, and somewhere far beneath the palace, something answered.No broken window. No blood. No sign of anyone getting in or out. The nursery had been locked, the children sleeping, and somehow Seren had simply walked through all of it.I wasn't queenly about it. I snapped at the guards, threatened careers, turned on Lucien when he reached for me."Don't tell me to calm down.""I wasn't going to.""You were about to.""I was about to tell you you're shaking.""I'm aware."He took my hand instead of arguing, and that was when I noticed my wolf wasn't searching outward at all.It was searching down.• • •Guards spread through the corridors while Orion cried and Lyra's frost bloomed across the nursery glass and Cael's gift doubled it, the room turning dangerously cold within minutes. Servants hustled t

Chapter: CHAPTER 77: THE ONES WHO CHOSE TO HIDEPOV: FeliciaI was watching Orion and Lyra argue over Cassian's wooden moon when a guard appeared in the nursery doorway, pale in a way that wasn't quite fear."Your Majesty, there is someone at the eastern gate who says he has come because your network found him.""Someone?""An emissary.""From where?"He hesitated. "He says that depends on whether you consider us found."Something about that sentence caught in my chest and stayed there. Lucien, Cael hanging off one arm, noticed my face before I'd said a word."That's your dangerous face.""I have several?""You have several.""And this one?""The one that means someone's about to regret lying to you.""Good. Keep the children here."His expression shifted. "Why?""Because I don't know who just walked through our gate."• • •Taren arrived without guards or weapons, carrying a weathered dark-wood case, and studied everything before he studied me … the guards, the priests, the architecture, finally my face. His bow was deliberate.

Chapter: CHAPTER 76: THE CHOICE WE SPEAKPOV: Felicia"If I write the truth about myself, will you still let our children read it?"Lucien was still holding the pen, not looking at me."That depends on what you write.""Then perhaps I should tell you before I write it."Something in his voice made me go still. Not a small confession. Something he'd been carrying since before the trial, since before any of this.• • •He told me he'd known more about his father's manipulation than he'd ever admitted … not everything, but enough to suspect the ground under both of us was rotten. And he'd gone through with the rejection anyway. Not to hurt me. Because he was afraid of losing Blackthorn, afraid of defying the elders before he had power enough to survive it.I was furious. Not because it changed what happened. Because it meant some of what I'd suffered might have been prevented, and he'd let it happen rather than risk himself.He wrote it anyway … two sentences in the archive, admitting he'd chosen fear over courage once, that

Chapter: CHAPTER 75: A GENERATIONPOV: Felicia"You said there were eleven."Daran had both hands planted on the war table before I'd even crossed the threshold. The priest across from him looked pale enough to fold."Yesterday," the priest said."And today?"He turned the latest parchment around without a word.Twenty-three.Nobody spoke. Then, quietly: "And the network hasn't stopped."• • •By the end of the week the map had stopped looking like a map and started looking like an accusation. A mountain settlement that had lived underground for generations. A coastal community nearly four thousand strong with no Alpha at all. A forest society that read Bonds through music instead of ritual. A people who'd refused hierarchy on principle. One that had been told for generations the alliance was a myth.Not everyone wanted to be found.DO NOT COME HERE, one message read.WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO CALL US LOST? read another.That second one stayed with me longest. They weren't lost. We simply hadn't known where to look

Chapter: CHAPTER 74: WHAT THE NETWORK BECAMEPOV: Felicia"Chosen Queen."The priest's voice cut clean through the celebration. He wasn't looking at me. He was looking up."That isn't supposed to be there."My stomach dropped before I even followed his eyes. The five points of the constellation still burned over the ceremonial grounds, but there were lights between them now … dozens, then hundreds, all of them moving.• • •Around us the restoration kept unfolding in ordinary human ways. People crying. People laughing. People standing frozen, holding a sensation their ancestors had only ever passed down as story. Revka leaned on Daran, who was working very hard to look unaffected and failing completely.Lucien came to stand beside me. He didn't offer congratulations."You're staring at the sky.""So is everyone.""No. Everyone's staring at what happened. You're staring at what happens next."Then the priest reached us, and the moment cracked open."Can somebody please tell me what's happening before everyone decides it's my fa
