The Rejected Mate Returns
Lyra Blackthorne, the daughter of the murdered Alpha of the Moonfang Pack, could never lead the pack because she had a Moon Wolf. Her mate, Rowan, was named Alpha in her place.
After assuming the title of Alpha, Lyra was betrayed and brutally rejected, not only by Rowan, but also by her entire pack and her stepsister Calista, with whom Rowan was having a secret affair.
“I reject Moon Wolf Lyra as my mate. She was found in bed with a stranger, which means she would betray the pack. The punishment for betrayal is death,” Alpha Rowan announced mercilessly.
The chants of the pack members and visiting Alphas, who had come to the Alpha conference, echoed through the trial. No one thought that Alpha Mikail, whose name sent shivers down spines due to his cruelty, would attend the conference.
Lyra found hope when she realized that Alpha Mikail was her second-chance mate, but she was painfully rejected once again. The double rejection caused her to lose her wolf, and she was sentenced to death by all the Alphas present.
She thought her fate was sealed when Alpha Mikail left and a warrior prepared to execute her. Everyone was stunned when, suddenly, Alpha Mikail turned around.
“Stop! The traitorous daughter of a deceased Alpha must not die. More suffering still awaits her,” he declared.
Lyra’s heart sank as she saw his dark gaze, deep as an abyss, while she fainted from exhaustion.
A few months later, a war broke out among the Alphas, as they began to fight over the Moon who had been rejected twice.
With her she-wolf dead, would the Moon Goddess be generous enough to give her another she-wolf? And which Alpha would be able to melt her now-cold heart?

Chapter: Chapter 6: Challenging the Alpha**Rowan**Mikail’s reputation was well-deserved, and everyone in the Moonfang pack knew it. He was a cruel and ruthless Alpha, one who had no qualms about destroying anyone who stood in his way.However, as I observed him during my stay, I realized that his interest in Lyra seemed to be nothing more than a matter of dominance.That made me relax slightly.If Mikail had shown any kind of attachment to the former Luna, the situation would be much more complicated. But no, everything about his demeanor suggested he was merely marking his territory, ensuring his authority wasn’t challenged.Even so, Calista, ever perceptive, immediately sensed the tension in the air.“What are you thinking, Rowan?”I shot her a quick glance after making sure Mikail had moved far enough away with his second-in-command.“That you tone down your defiant attitude a couple of notches,” I replied in a low voice, serious enough for her to know I wasn’t joking.Calista frowned and crossed her arms in exasperation

Chapter: Chapter 5: The Limits of IndifferenceThe guard grew nervous and took a step back, which brought me dangerously close to him.Finally, he began to stammer in an attempt to explain himself.“T-the former Moon, Lyra… was taken to the dungeon… after Moon Calista told Alpha Rowan that she should be punished…”My fingers clenched. I hadn’t given any order for Lyra to be locked up, let alone punished.Calista.I wanted to know what had happened, why Alpha Rowan had made that decision, when he had left Lyra’s suffering in my hands.But before I could say anything to the guard, Rowan himself suddenly appeared, a spark of curiosity and pride in his eyes.“You’re finally back, Alpha Mikail,” he said in a strange tone, as if he expected my return to mean something more than just a mere presence on his territory.I held his gaze with my usual hostility.I didn’t like that he thought he was more than he was just because he held the title of Alpha.“I had to step away for a few hours,” I replied simply, crossing my arms, “but upon my r

Chapter: Chapter 4: Intrigues and Punishments**Mikail**The night air was cold when I stepped out of the room, but no colder than the indifference with which I had treated Lyra.I had no reason to doubt my own words; I had already rejected her, and what I said was no lie. Her reputation was tarnished, and I couldn’t afford to have a Moon like her in the Silverbane pack.Still, something in her eyes had unsettled me. It wasn’t the pleading, nor the indignation, but the way she clung to her pride despite everything.As if she truly believed she was innocent.But I couldn’t afford to fall into that trap. There were too many things surrounding her, too many shadows in her story for me to get involved in her life.It wasn’t my problem. It couldn’t be.“Alpha,” the voice of Krimson, my beta, snapped me out of my thoughts. His expression was serious, which meant he had important information.“What did you find out?”Krimson crossed his arms and lowered his voice slightly, as if he didn’t want anyone else to hear.“I spoke with several

Chapter: Chapter 3: Captive in the Shadow of the Alphas“Did I hear you correctly, Alpha Mikail?” Rowan asked in a controlled tone, though her eyes betrayed a growing sense of unease. “Are you saying you want to stay with the pack for a few more days?”Mikail nodded calmly, unfazed by the Alpha’s apparent annoyance.“I have matters to resolve, and this seems to be the best place. I don’t want to cause any trouble,” Mikail said, though his tone suggested he knew full well how uncomfortable his presence was.Rowan frowned. Matters to resolve?Alpha Mikail had asked him to put Lyra in a room after she fainted, causing many in the pack to question his decision.Now he felt caught between a rock and a hard place for having agreed; he had expected Mikail to impose some kind of punishment on Lyra, but that didn’t seem to be his intention.What were his intentions, really?What worried him most was the reason for Mikail’s presence. He had been very surprised that Mikail was Lyra’s second-chance mate.The idea that Mikail could claim Lyra at any mo

Chapter: Capítulo 2: Broken MemoriesThe night’s chill wrapped around me like a shroud when I closed my eyes. I didn’t want to open them. I didn’t want to face the reality of what had just happened.But even in the darkness, my mind gave me no respite.The memory came back with cruel clarity.It was the night of Rowan’s appointment as Alpha. The celebration was at its peak, with the Moonfang pack displaying its power and wealth before its guests.Music echoed through the grand hall, laughter mingled with the clinking of glasses, and the scent of spices hung in the air.I didn’t feel well. My body felt strange, heavy, as if something were clouding my senses.I searched for Rowan in the crowd, but he was busy with the other Alphas, basking in his newly acquired power. His eyes had barely sought me out all night.“Calista,” I murmured, leaning on her arm when I found her. “I don’t feel well…”Her face lit up with a concerned smile.“Oh, poor Lyra. Let me help you. Come, I’ll take you to rest.”I didn’t think to question her

Chapter: Chapter 1: The Trial of the Fallen MoonThe air smelled of incense and blood. The main hall of the Moonfang pack, which had once been my home, now felt like a prison.Silver chains burned against my wrists as I knelt in the center of the room, my gaze lowered and my heart pounding with fury. Not out of fear, but out of helplessness.The Alphas’ conference had been an event of honor, a time when the leaders of the most powerful packs gathered to discuss alliances and disputes.However, what should have been a diplomatic event had turned into a public trial against me, the daughter of the slain Alpha and the mate of the newly appointed Alpha Rowan.I was on my knees in the center of the room, my hair falling messily across my face, while my shaky breathing was the only thing breaking the silence before the verdict.“I reject Luna Lyra as my mate,” Rowan’s voice rang out coldly, echoing through the room.Rowan’s words were a cold knife plunging into my chest. My head snapped up, my lips trembled, but I couldn’t speak.No, this
