Rejected By The Alpha king, Chosen By The Moon Goddess
Lyra Ashwood has spent twenty-one years believing she is nothing more than a cursed, wolf-less omega.
So when the Moon Mating Ceremony reveals that she is the fated mate of Kael Draven, the most powerful Alpha King in the Seven Kingdoms, she believes her life is finally about to change.
Instead, Kael rejects her before the entire kingdom.
Heartbroken and humiliated, Lyra flees into the forbidden Sacred Moon Forest, where a mysterious silver-robed woman leads her through an ancient Moon Gate.
Beyond it lies a forgotten sanctuary and the truth about who Lyra really is.
Her wolf was never missing.
It was sealed.
Lyra is the last surviving heir of an ancient Moon Bloodline believed to have been destroyed twenty-one years ago. Her return awakens powers, ancient guardians, and enemies who have spent decades searching for her.
Meanwhile, Kael begins uncovering secrets surrounding the prophecy that made him reject his mate.
The prophecy was altered.
His kingdom was built on a lie.
And the woman he cast aside may be the key to saving or destroying the Seven Kingdoms.
As Lyra grows into the power she was born to possess, kingdoms will choose sides, ancient enemies will rise, and a forgotten war will begin again.
And when Kael finally realizes the truth, he will have to face the hardest battle of all not winning Lyra back, but proving he deserves another chance.
Because fate may have made them mates...
But only Lyra can decide whether they will ever become more than that.

Chapter: The Crown of DarknessThe chamber remained frozen. Nobody spoke. The crimson words burned across the surface of the Moon Throne. THE CROWN HAS BEEN FOUND. Lyra stared at them, unable to breathe. Her father's face had gone completely pale. Elara slowly stepped toward the throne. Her eyes remained fixed on the glowing message. “No,” she whispered. Lyra turned toward her. “You know where it is.” Elara stopped. Her silence was enough. Lyra's expression hardened. “Mom.” Elara looked at her daughter. “Tell me.” Her father stepped forward. “Elara.” “No.” Lyra raised her hand. “No more.” The silver light around her fingers flickered. “I asked for the truth. You promised me.” Elara closed her eyes. Then she nodded. “The crown was never destroyed.” Lyra's heart tightened. “Then where was it?” Her father answered this time. “Hidden.” “Where?” “In a place Malachor could never reach.” Lyra looked at him. “And now?” His jaw tightened. “Someone has found it.” A cold feeling moved through the chamber. Selene looked toward

Chapter: The Truth Beneath the MoonThe Moon Palace had gone silent. Not peaceful. Silent. The kind of silence that came after a storm had torn through everything in its path and left the survivors standing among the ruins, trying to understand what had just happened. Lyra stood before the restored Moon Throne, staring at it. Silver light moved across its surface in slow pulses. The crescent moon carved into the throne glowed softly, intertwined with the dark wolf beneath it. Moon and darkness. Her two bloodlines. Her inheritance. Her burden. Her destiny. She still couldn't decide which one frightened her most.Behind her, footsteps approached. Lyra didn't turn. She already knew who it was. "Lyra." Her mother's voice. Elara. Lyra closed her eyes. For twenty-one years, she had dreamed of hearing that voice. For twenty-one years, she had imagined what it would feel like to finally meet the woman who had given birth to her. Now that the moment had arrived, Lyra didn't know whether she wanted to cry, scream, or demand answe

Chapter: The Moon Heir RisesThe chamber exploded into chaos. Dark creatures poured through the shattered doors, their bodies twisted beneath black armor and shadow, their crimson eyes burning through the silver light. Their claws scraped against the crystal floor as they charged. Lyra stood at the center of it all. A silver fire burned around her left hand. Crimson energy curled around her right. For one suspended heartbeat, nobody moved. Then the first creature lunged. Lyra reacted without thinking. Her wolf roared inside her. Now. She thrust out her hand, and a wave of silver and crimson power erupted from her body. The creature was thrown backward with such force that it crashed into three others, their bodies slamming against the crystal walls and cracking the ancient stone. Lyra stared at her hands. She had done that. She hadn't even known she could. Another creature charged from her left. Kael moved first, his sword flashing beneath the silver light, cutting through the creature's weapon before driving

Chapter: The Queen Beneath the Prison“The second one... is your mother.” Lyra stopped breathing. For several seconds, she could hear nothing. Not the trembling palace. Not the distant howls. Not even the roar of the creature beneath the throne. Only those words. Your mother. Her eyes remained fixed on Selene. “My mother is dead.” Selene didn't answer. Lyra's voice rose. “You told me she died twenty-one years ago.” “She did.” “Then how can she be here?” Selene's face tightened with pain. “She died as a woman.” Lyra frowned. “What does that mean?” Selene looked toward the darkness beneath the broken throne. “She was never buried.” A violent tremor shook the chamber. The second pair of crimson eyes opened wider. Something enormous shifted beneath the palace. Kael moved closer to Lyra. “Selene, explain.” But Selene wasn't looking at him. She was staring at Lyra. “Your mother wasn't killed.” Lyra's heart pounded. “She was sealed.” The words barely left Selene's mouth before Lyra staggered backward. “No.” Her wolf stirred une

Chapter: The Prison Beneath the MoonThe first thing Lyra felt was heat. Not the warmth of the Moon Throne. This was different. It was suffocating, violent, almost alive. Kael's arms were still wrapped around her as the floor continued to shake beneath them. Pieces of crystal rained from the shattered throne, exploding against the marble floor. The silver flames that had once surrounded the chamber had vanished, replaced by darkness that crawled upward from the enormous crack beneath the throne.Lyra stared into the abyss. Two crimson eyes stared back. They were impossibly large. Ancient. Hungry. Her wolf went completely silent. For the first time since Lyra had awakened her, she felt genuine fear from the creature inside her. Run.Lyra swallowed. “Who is that?” Neither Kael nor the Dark Alpha answered. The Dark Alpha stood frozen, his weapon lowered at his side. His face had lost every trace of arrogance. “No,” he whispered.The creature beneath them laughed. The sound rolled through the chamber like thunder. “You still

Chapter: The Moon Throne“Welcome home, little Moon Queen.”The voice echoed beneath the ruined city, and Lyra couldn't breathe. The black mark on her wrist burned like molten iron. She tried to pull her hand away, but the darkness had already spread across her skin, crawling toward her elbow like living ink.“Get it off me!”She clawed at her wrist. Nothing happened.Her wolf growled inside her mind.Don't let him take control.“Who is he?”The one they feared.Another tremor shook the city. The enormous black claw disappeared beneath the ground, followed by a deafening roar that sent waves of dust through the streets.The Dark Alpha grabbed Lyra's shoulders.“Listen to me.”Lyra looked into his crimson eyes.“What?”“You have to reach the Moon Throne before he rises completely.”“Why?”“Because once he leaves his prison, the throne will be the only thing powerful enough to stop him.”Selene stepped forward.“And if she reaches it too late?”The Dark Alpha's expression hardened.“Then the Seven Kingdoms will

Chapter: Blood and VelvetElena’s P.O.V.The quiet of the penthouse felt almost unnatural.For months, every silence had been a tactical silence—the stillness before a breach, the held breath before an ambush, the terrifying quiet of a corridor slick with rain and blood. But as the heavy steel doors of the private elevator closed behind us on the top floor of the Sterling-Vance estate, the quiet that settled over the suite was different.It was absolute. It was thick with victory.I stood in the center of the vast, marble-floored living room, staring out through the floor-to-ceiling glass at the city sprawling beneath us. Millions of golden lights flickered into the horizon, pulsing like the heartbeat of a sleeping beast. Three weeks ago, those lights had felt like a battlefield, every dark alley housing a mercenary hired by Victoria, every shadow holding a spy bought by Julian.Now, those lights belonged to us.The soft rustle of velvet echoed behind me as Daphne unclipped the sharp silver guards from her sho

Chapter: The Coronation of Twin QueensElena’s P.O.V.The glass facade of the newly restored Sterling Global Tower glistened beneath the crisp autumn sun, reflecting a sky purged of storm clouds.Three weeks had passed since the fires of St. Jude’s turned Victoria’s final stronghold to ash. Three weeks since Julian and Sophia vanished into the nameless high-desert dark. To the public, the chaos that had rocked the city was framed as a tragic corporate restructuring following the sudden, heroic death of Chairman Arthur Sterling.Today, the world was invited to witness the rebirth.I stood in the holding suite on the seventy-fifth floor, staring at my reflection in the floor-to-ceiling windows. I wore a tailored, floor-length gown of midnight-blue velvet, structured with sharp, silver-plated shoulder guards that mimicked modern armor. Around my neck hung the Sterling crest—a heavy platinum pendant set with a sapphire as deep as oceanic trench water.The door behind me clicked open.Daphne walked in, a vision of absolute twin

Chapter: The Trial of the TraitorsElena’s P.O.V.The subterranean vault beneath the Vance Estate smelled of damp stone, iron, and absolute finality.It was a world buried four stories below the manicured lawns and marble fountains above—a place where the noise of the city could never penetrate, where screaming accomplished nothing, and where the law of the Dark King was the only authority that existed.Two steel chairs sat bolted to the concrete floor in the center of the dimly lit room.Bound to them by heavy tactical zip-ties were Julian and Sophia.Their designer clothes were stained with mud and dried grease from the docks and the asylum. Julian’s lip was split, his chest heaving with frantic, shallow breaths, his eyes bloodshot and swollen from hours of weeping into the dark. Sophia sat beside him, trembling so violently that the steel legs of her chair scraped uselessly against the stone floor.When the heavy iron door of the vault groaned open, both of them flinched as if struck by lightning.Damian walked in f

Chapter: The Reckoning in the DarkElena’s P.O.V.The air inside the underground operating theatre didn't just feel cold—it felt thick, heavy with the suffocating stench of rotting blood, ozone, and industrial-grade iodine.The heavy steel door swung shut behind us with a deep, echoing thud that vibrated through the damp concrete floor beneath our boots. The sound was absolute. It sealed off the faint, distant echoes of gunfire from the upper corridors, locking the four of us in a tomb carved into the subterranean darkness of North Ridge.Emergency surgical monitors hummed in a low, erratic rhythm—beep... beep... beep... their erratic green lines casting sickly, rhythmic flashes of light across the cracked tiled walls. Glass jars filled with yellowing formaldehyde lined stainless steel shelving, reflecting the dark silhouettes of three executioners stepping through the shadows.And there, in the center of the room beneath a rusted overhead surgical lamp, sat the monster who had ripped our world apart.Victoria Sterling

Chapter: The Siege of St. Jude’sElena’s P.O.V.The rain fell in black, heavy sheets, washing over the cracked asphalt of North Ridge Road.Above us, towering against the stormy skyline, stood the decaying hulk of the old St. Jude Psychiatric Facility. Built in the late 1920s, its imposing gothic stone architecture, barbed-wire fences, and narrow slit windows made it look less like a medical institution and more like a high-security prison.It was the ultimate refuge for a dying monster.Our heavy armored SUV pulled to a silent halt three hundred yards from the iron front gates, hidden behind a dense thicket of overgrown pine trees. Beside us, four black tactical vans carrying the Vance Syndicate's elite strike teams cut their engines in unison.Inside the vehicle, the air was cold, tense, and thick with the scent of gun oil and leather.Damian sat beside me, checking the magazine of his custom submachine gun before clicking it into place with a sharp, lethal metallic snap.

Chapter: The Reign of BloodElena’s P.O.V.The smell of copper and iron wouldn't wash off.I stood in the master bathroom of the Vance estate, my hands submerged in a basin of ice-cold water, scrubbing at my skin until it burned raw. The water turned a pale, sickly pink, swirling around the drain before disappearing. No matter how long I held my hands under the tap, I could still feel the warmth of my father’s life spilling through my fingers onto the cold atrium floor.The door behind me creaked open softly.Daphne stepped inside, holding a silk towel. She had showered and changed into a sharp, high-collared black pantsuit, her identical face devoid of any tears, her eyes completely deadened into cold, black slate. The grief that had consumed us in the atrium had frozen solid, crystallizing into something lethal.She handed me the towel, her fingers brushing against mine."The board of directors is assembled in the grand parlor," Daphne said, her voice dropping into a flat, steady pitch that held no room for he

The Alpha Rising : The Wolf Within
He was bitten by a monster. She was born to destroy monsters. Falling in love was never supposed to be part of the plan.
Vance Rourke has spent his life keeping his head down, grieving his parents death and surviving one day at a time. But after a savage creature attacks him in the woods, everything changes.
He survives the bite but he's no longer human.
His senses sharpen. His strength becomes unnatural. And something wild inside him grows harder to control.
Then Lyra Hale walks into his Biology class.
Beautiful, intelligent, and strangely drawn to him, Lyra is the first person to make Vance feel normal again. But their undeniable connection hides a dangerous truth.
Lyra is the daughter of Marcus Hale, the most dreaded werewolf hunter.
Her mother, Eliana, is already watching Vance. She's seen the impossible reflexes, the claw marks, and the flash of gold in his eyes. She knows what he's becoming and she'll do anything to protect her daughter, even if it means killing him.
But Vance's greatest threat isn't the Hales.
Damien Cross, the rogue Alpha who bit him, wants Vance to join his growing army. Refuse, and Damien will expose every werewolf hiding in Elchen Hills. Join him, and Vance becomes the monster Lyra's family was born to destroy.
As hunters close in and Damien prepares for war, Lyra is forced to choose between the family she trusts and the boy she loves.
To save Lyra, Vance must embrace the creature his trying to suppress.
But becoming an Alpha means surrendering to the wolf within.
And when the choice finally comes down to love or survival, Vance must decide:
Will he become the monster everyone fears or the Alpha powerful enough to protect the girl who was born to kill him?

Chapter: The TrapThe armory was silent.Eliana moved through the dimly lit room, her footsteps echoing on the concrete floor. Rows of guns lined the walls. Silver bolts gleamed in glass cases. Hunting knives hung in neat rows.Marcus's business. His pride. His fortress.She'd taken the key while he slept. He'd never suspect. He was too wounded, too tired, too trusting.She reached for a small glass bottle on the shelf. The liquid inside was pale green. Thick. Potent.Wolfsbane extract.Eliana knew exactly what wolfsbane did to wolves.It weakened their muscles. Burned through their senses. And, most importantly, it kept them trapped in their human form.No transformation. No healing. No escape.She poured the liquid into a small diffuser and switched it on.Within seconds, a sharp, bitter scent began spreading through the room.Eliana stepped back and watched the pale mist disappear into the darkness."Let's see how strong you really are."She pulled out her phone.Eliana (posing as Lyra): Vance, plea

A low grunt of pain.She threw off the covers and rushed out of the bedroom.Marcus was leaning against the wall, his hand pressed to his shoulder. Blood seeped through his fingers, staining his jacket dark red. His face was pale. His eyes were wild."Marcus!" Eliana rushed to his side. "What happened?""Damien." The name came out like a curse. "He's alive. He attacked us in the woods."Eliana's blood ran cold. "Damien Cross? That's impossible. He died in the fire.""Apparently not." Marcus winced as she helped him to the couch.

Chapter: The Full MoonVance woke up feeling like his skin was on fire. The morning sun streamed through his window, but instead of warmth, it seemed to burn against his skin. Every nerve in his body felt exposed, every muscle wound tight beneath his skin. The wolf was restless. Tonight, it whispered inside him. Tonight, I run free. Vance pressed his palms against his temples. "Not tonight. Not ever." You can't stop me. You've been fighting for weeks, Vance. Tonight, you lose. He stumbled out of bed and into the bathroom. His reflection stared back at him—pale, gaunt, dark circles under his eyes. But it was his eyes that terrified him most. Gold. Brown. Gold. Brown. Vance gripped the edge of the sink. I'm losing control. --- School was a blur. Vance walked through the hallways like a ghost, his senses on overdrive. Every sound was too loud. Every scent was too sharp.

Chapter: The ExposureThe bathroom tiles were ice beneath Vance's knees. He barely reached the restroom before collapsing beside the sink, his chest rising and falling in frantic gasps. Every sound in the school crashed into him at once the dripping faucet, footsteps echoing in the hallway, distant laughter, even the steady rhythm of heartbeats beyond the walls. Every scent flooded his senses until he thought his skull would split open. Beneath his skin, the wolf prowled like a caged predator, growing more restless with every passing second. He'd excused himself mid-lecture, muttering something about feeling sick. Lyra had watched him go, concern written across her face. He'd seen it in the way her hand had reached for him, hesitated, then fallen back to her desk.Now he was here. Alone. On the floor. Fighting for control.Let me out.The voice wasn't his.
