Claimed, then cast aside.
Elara Silvermoon has spent her entire life being overlooked, mocked, and reminded that she will never be enough.
Then one reckless night changes everything.
After a drunken encounter with Darius Blackthorn—the arrogant, powerful Alpha heir who has always treated her with contempt—Elara discovers she is pregnant with his pup. Forced by their powerful families to become his mate, she dreams of building a family with the man she secretly loves.
But Darius wants nothing to do with her.
While Elara endures whispers, humiliation, and his endless rejection, Darius continues living like the untouchable playboy he has always been. Then tragedy strikes, and Elara loses the one thing that bound them together.
Or so Darius believes.
Coldly declaring their mating over, he chooses another woman and leaves Elara with nothing but a shattered heart.
Years later, fate brings them together again.
Darius is no longer the powerful Alpha he once was. Betrayed by the woman he chose, poisoned by his own family, and slowly losing control of his pack, he is desperate for a healer who can save his life.
The healer who arrives is Elara.
She is no longer the shy girl he cast aside.
And when Darius discovers the secret Elara has protected for years, everything he thought he knew about their past begins to crumble.
His lost pup is alive.
And the woman he once rejected may be the only person who can save not only his life, but the family he never knew he had.
But Elara has already learned what it means to love Darius—and what it costs.
This time, if he wants her back, he will have to prove he deserves her.

Chapter: Shattered Moon DreamsElara’s POVI struggled to open my eyes, my vision still in so much blurriness mixed with white that it took me a while to understand that the beeping sound was from the monitors next to me."Finn?" My voice cracked as it came out, sounding small, like some stranger's.His head shot up in a flash, relief flickering into his tired eyes. "Elara! Oh, thank the Moon." He leaned over and gripped my hand with both hands. "You scared the hell out of me.""Where am I? What...what happened?" I blinked, attempting to shake the fog of understanding from my head.Finn seemed to close up. He drew a slow breath in, almost as if he was bracing himself with every breath to respond to me. "You were hit, Elara. In the market grounds. A drunk rider backed into you and left before anyone could stop him. It was a hit-and-run."The memories flashed through my mind in fragments—paws screeching, bright glow-eyes, hearing Finn howl my name. My heart jumped as I felt myself instinctively touch my stomach."Fin

Chapter: The Unwanted OmegaElara's PerspectivesThe similarity between my legs and gossip is that they spread real fast whenever Darius is concerned.In the beginning, they were quiet. They were in the back of lecture halls, lockers, or filler in the mess hall, but they grew legs; they will follow you. Everyone knows that when you're the omega betrothed to Darius Blackthorn, they stick to you like glue."She must have trapped him.""Probably faked the pregnancy.""He's too good for her, anyway.""She probably drugged him cause no way in hell she suddenly becomes attractive.""Even a rogue loner won't mount her despite how drunk he was.""She is so ugly. Let's hope the sire's genes save the pup.""She looks like something you should throw up on."All my life, I learned in keeping low, pretending as if I couldn't hear all of that. But then came days when claws sprouted out of those whispers, and no one would save me from pretending.Finn noticed such every time."You are not going to hide in your room the entire

Chapter: The Mating Bond UnveiledElara's POV“You are pregnant, Elara.” Elder Mira said.The word came to me like a fist."Pregnant."It was Elder Mira's typical calm, practiced way that one must have to use at least a hundred times a day; but in my ears, it was thunder. I could not breathe, could not move.The sterile white walls seemed to lean a little closer, the scent of antiseptic turning sharp in my nose. Pregnant. The syllables echoed and drowned out everything else she said—hormones, options, steps forward. The pulse hammered so hard within me, it felt in my throat.Beside me, Finn's hand tightened over mine. I turned, searching for a solid expression in his face. The shock was evident as his mouth was clamped tight, but his eyes stayed on me, steady, worried. A flicker of anger crossed his features, but not at me. Never at me."Come on," he said gently, though his voice trembled. His grip anchored me, tugged me up from the fog. "Let's get you home."I nodded vacantly. My body obeyed while my mind was still m

Chapter: The Full-Moon Gathering That Changed Everything**Elara's POVI really didn't want to go. But the venomous poison seeping through every second of that week had Selene's voice saying, “Don't you dare make me look bad, Elara! Try to act like you belong, even though we both know you don't.”And where exactly was it I didn't belong?A power gathering: silk pelts and tailored hides all blurred together in suffocating moonbloom scent. I sipped on my spritzer and willed myself into the wallpaper. Invisible, as every other time. Until him.Darius Blackthorn.Everyone was a subject for entertainment, whether sober or drunk—a bright pyre was raised for fire and ruin—somehow gloriously intoxicated. And I was the subject for she-wolf’s brutality. Joy and wild sparkle in those golden eyes locked on me, as everyone bullied me till I was allowed to hide in the corner.Then he appeared again.I could almost see the smirk on his drunk and flushed face. I could faintly smell the whiff of whiskey mingling within that, with the gravitating weight of his

Chapter: The Alpha Heir and the Shadowed OmegaElara's POVSqueaky sneakers against an unyielding polished wooden floor repeatedly echoed through the pack academy gymnasium. That thrumming beat felt especially potent today; it felt like a rhythm that told me I didn't belong. Every thump of basketball rushed through me and squeezed my grip even tighter on the tired notebook pressed against me like a shield.Not that anyone noticed me.No one ever did.Well, except for that time Darius Blackthorn decided I was funny to laugh at.He was always at the center of the maelstrom—certainly, he was tall, broad-shouldered, dark-haired, and that hair managed somehow to fall just so, even when sweat-drenched. But golden wolf eyes gleamed at me under fluorescent lights, and his smile—God, that smile—could light an entire room if he wanted it to. And right now, all of Blackthorn Academy seemed to orbit around him.You could tell from the huddled bleachers, not for the game, but for him. Darius Blackthorn: the alpha heir. Every shot he made sent
