The Rise of the Rejected Luna
Abandoned as a newborn. Marked by a mysterious scar. Destined to become the secret that could change the werewolf world forever.
Lyra was found outside a powerful werewolf pack as a newborn, a strange scar etched across her cheek and no clue to who she really was.
Raised with love, she grows up knowing nothing about her origins—or the dangerous secret hidden within her blood.
Until her eighteenth birthday.
That night, fate brings her face-to-face with Alessandro De Luca, the ruthless young Alpha feared by every wolf who knows his name.
Her mate.
But instead of claiming her, Alessandro rejects her without a second thought.
Heartbroken and humiliated, Lyra leaves the country, determined to forget the Alpha who shattered her heart.
Years later, she returns as someone entirely different.
Stronger. More powerful. And finally ready to uncover the truth about the mysterious scar she's carried since birth.
But the scar isn't what it seems.
As Lyra discovers her true identity, she realizes that her existence is tied to a secret buried deep within werewolf history—and powerful enemies will do anything to keep that secret hidden.
Now Lyra has returned to claim what was stolen from her.
And Alessandro is about to discover that the mate he once rejected is no longer the vulnerable girl he left behind.
But when the truth behind his rejection finally comes to light…
will Lyra still want the Alpha who broke her heart?

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTEEN - SOMETHING LIKE TRUSTLYRAI knew something had changed before anyone said a word.Mum was too quiet at breakfast. Dad was worse.He sat at the end of the table with coffee he barely touched, pretending not to watch me. Mum kept finding reasons to touch my hand or shoulder, as though she needed to make sure I was still there.By the third time, I put my fork down. "All right. What happened?"Dad looked at Mum, Mum looked at Dad, and Ethan concentrated on his food."That is never a good sign.""Nothing happened," Mum assured me, but her smile appeared too quickly.They had been like this since last night. I knew Mara had been in Dad's office because I had heard voices, although I couldn't make out what anyone was saying.Part of me wanted to demand answers again. Why did Mara recognise me? What did she know?"If you're both going to stare at me like I'm heading towards my death instead of leaving Lunar Crest, you could at least try to be less obvious."Mum's expression changed immediately."I'm fine," she s

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTEEN - THE NIGHT THEY LOST EVERYTHINGFor several seconds, I could only stare at Mara."The scar came afterwards?"She nodded."Then what was Lyra born with?"Mara looked at Seraphina before her eyes returned to me."A mark. Silver, shaped almost like a crescent, although not completely formed. It was on the same side of her face where the scar is now."My hand tightened against the arm of my chair.For eighteen years, I had looked at that scar and wondered what had happened to my daughter before she came to us. I had imagined an injury during birth, an attack, perhaps even somebody deliberately hurting her.Never once had I considered that it could be something else."Selene knew what it meant?" Seraphina asked."She suspected Lyra had inherited something from her. I don't know more than that. Selene understood her bloodline better than I ever did, but the moment she saw the mark, she became terrified.""Because of Darius.""Yes. If he saw it, hiding Lyra's identity would become almost impossible."Mara lowered her eyes.

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTEEN - SELENE"Selene was a descendant of the Moon Goddess," Mara finally said.For a moment, I thought I had misunderstood her.Seraphina went completely still beside me."A descendant?" I repeated."Directly through the Ardent bloodline. There aren't many left, and even eighteen years ago, Selene's family kept mostly to themselves because they understood what could happen if the wrong people became interested in what their blood carried."I stared at Mara, trying to understand what she was telling me. Every wolf grew up hearing stories about the Moon Goddess. She was part of our history and traditions, but descendants of her bloodline were something I had always assumed belonged more to old stories than to the world I lived in."And Darius knew?""Not at first. He knew Selene Ardent was different, and he knew her family guarded secrets that went back generations. That was enough to make him curious.""Curious?" I asked.Mara's expression hardened. "Obsessed would probably be a better word.""Dari

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURTEEN-THE NAME SHE FEAREDI knew Mara had returned before Lyra told me.Adrian came into my office shortly before dinner wearing the expression of a man deciding whether admitting defeat twice in one day would permanently damage his reputation."She came back," he said.I put down the papers I had been pretending to read. "Mara?"He nodded. "Lyra saw her on the path behind the packhouse."For a moment, I said nothing. I made it clear to that woman that I didn't want her approaching Lyra until Seraphina and I understood what we were dealing with. Apparently, Mara had decided my instructions were optional."Did she approach her?""According to Lyra, no. She was watching from the trees; Lyra noticed her, and they spoke."That sounded exactly like the sort of distinction Mara would make."What did she tell her?""Nothing useful. Lyra questioned her, Mara avoided nearly everything, and then she left."I leaned back in my chair, irritation settling heavily in my chest. "And you lost her again?"Adrian stared at me.

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTEEN – THE WOMAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCHI stared at the open suitcase on my bed for what felt like forever, yet despite the pile of clothes around me, only a few things were inside it.This was ridiculous.I had decided I needed to leave Lunar Crest for a while. Mum and Dad weren't happy about it, but they understood.And now I couldn't even decide what to pack."You're pathetic," I muttered.We are not pathetic, Luna complained immediately.A small smile appeared on my face. At least she was talking to me again.For the first couple of days after Alessandro rejected us, Luna had barely spoken, hiding in the back of my mind. I couldn't blame her. I didn't feel like talking either.You're thinking about him again."I'm trying not to."Try harder.I grabbed another shirt and threw it into the suitcase."There. Happy?"Not particularly.A knock interrupted our argument."Come in."Ethan walked inside carrying two mugs. He handed one to me, then looked at the suitcase."Going well, I see.""Very.""You've packed enough for appr

Chapter: CHAPTER TWELVE: THE WOMAN FROM THE BOUTIQUE — PART 3Cassian's P.O.V.For several seconds, I just stared at Mara.I had spent eighteen years looking at that scar. I remembered Lyra as a little girl asking Seraphina why the other children didn't have one like hers. I remembered the first time she came home upset because another child had stared at her for too long, and how Seraphina sat beside her that night explaining that a scar could never change how beautiful she was.All those years, we had believed it was an injury.Now Mara was telling me that we had been wrong."What is underneath it?"Mara's expression immediately closed again. "I've already told you more than I intended to.""Is there something underneath the scar?"She remained silent, and that silence was enough to make my wolf restless."Mara, I need to know whether this thing is dangerous for my daughter."Her expression softened slightly. "It isn't. Whatever else you think about it, you can stop worrying about that. Selene didn't place the scar there to cause Lyra any pai
