Lycan King's Cursed and Rejected Mate
“I am Maya, the first daughter of Alpha Darius of the Ashbourne Pack, and I am damned… damned by the Moon Goddess, and an embarrassment to my father’s legacy.”
Born wolfless, her life had always been full of shame. While others shifted under the full moon, she suffered through painful heat. Her father, a powerful Alpha, saw her as a disgrace. And when he finally cast her out of the pack, she had nowhere left to go, until Kael, the feared Lycan Leader, found her.
Now, Kael is offering her a hand. If she takes it, she’ll be branded as a traitor. If she doesn’t, it might cost her life, or worse… a life of eternal exile.
"I won't be called wolfless anymore. I won't be yanked into the crooked domination battles of the Leaders. And I definitely won't surrender to the arrogant stranger who claims the moon marked me for him..."
But when he touches her, it's not disgrace that fills her. It's power, unlocking a prophecy that doesn't belong to a shattered girl but to a tool forged by the Moon Goddess herself.
The question is, can Maya trust the Leader whose secrets run deeper than his scars, or is she just another pawn in his bloodstained games?
Either way, one thing is clear: They called her wolfless. They thought she was weak. But she is done hiding, and this time, she's rewriting the rules.

Chapter: Chapter#133MAYAFinn’s car idled quietly outside the Ashbourne pack house. We’d pulled up nearly twenty minutes ago. Neither of us moved to get out.I sat with my hands folded in my lap, absently tracing the edge of my blouse with one fingertip. My mind kept replaying the day in loops.Heat crept up my cheeks. Gods, how embarrassing. Did he think I was just using him as a shield? A convenient way to shut Kael down? The shame twisted in my stomach. I shook my head sharply, trying to dislodge the thought, but it clung.The silence between us stretched. Finally, Finn broke it.“Did you mean it?” he asked quietly. “About accepting my proposal?”My heart gave a hard, unsteady thud. I turned to him. The dashboard lights cast faint blue shadows across his face, highlighting the sincerity in his eyes. Swallowing past the sudden tightness in my throat, I nodded.“I do.”A small smile touched his lips, then widened into a full, relieved grin that made my chest ache with fresh guilt and uncertainty. “Okay,

Chapter: Chater#132KAEL“I was never raised with being able to express how I feel,” I stated in a rough tone. “Sometimes when I want to say I love you, I end up saying it wrongly. The domestic staff raised me in the pack house. Love to me meant eating dinner and occasionally going hunting. All of this is alien to me, Maya. You should at least give me a second chance to redeem myself, and I will learn how to love you since my methods didn’t work the first time.”She stared at me for a long moment. Then she drew in a shaky breath.“I’m going to marry Finn,” she announced, sniffing back tears. “You can go ahead and get married to Selene. I no longer care.”“You want to punish me, Maya…” My voice cracked. “I get it. But you don’t have to go to such extremes. You’ll…” A tear slipped free; I didn’t bother wiping it away. “You’ll kill me.”“And yet you haven’t died after four years of waiting,” she said woodenly. “There’s nothing for us again, Kael. I cannot bring myself to forget. Finn asked me to be his Luna

Chapter: Chapter#131KAELThe only thing standing between Fenrir manifesting was me.He snarled inside my chest, furious, claws scraping against the bars I’d built to keep him contained. Our mate’s denial had sliced through him like silver. And Finn’s smug little smile wasn’t helping. Every time the Alpha’s eyes flicked toward me with that quiet, victorious amusement, Fenrir lunged harder.I waited until the hall thinned out. Elders filed past in low murmurs. The priestess had already departed for her evening rites. Soon it was just the three of us.Maya must have sensed me coming because the moment I took a step forward, she started walking again. Finn matched her pace easily, calm and composed beside her, but his eyes kept darting back to me, amused, almost daring.“Maya,” I called out. “A minute.”“Not now, Kael,” she answered without slowing. “It’s almost evening, and it’s a four-hour ride to Ashbourne. We want to get home before dusk.”I wanted to approach this objectively. I wanted to sound less lik

Chapter: Chapter#130MAYAMy heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, the entire hall seemed to hold its breath with me. I glanced around quickly. My eyes darted from Finn, who sat a few paces behind me with that quiet, steady presence I’d always relied on, to the council members watching me with varying degrees of curiosity and suspicion, and finally to Kael. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat.Trying not to scoff, I turned back to the priestess and forced a sweet, composed smile onto my face.“I haven’t found my mate yet.”A ripple of surprise moved through the hall. Some elders didn’t even bother hiding their disdain. The priestess’s expression shifted in quick succession: surprise, disbelief, then a deep frown settling between her brows as she studied me more closely.“That’s impossible,” she said. “Every Moonwhisperer throughout our history has always found their mate on the full moon of their eighteenth birthday.”Except I had just celebrated my nineteenth when I found mine, I thought bitterly, an

Chapter: Chapter#129FINN“Yes,” The priestess nodded solemnly. “Every Moonwhisperer in history, including Neriah, the first, has at some point been stripped of their abilities. This is not the first time.”“So how were they able to fight?” Elder Mira asked, leaning forward. “They all underwent training,” the priestess answered. “Serious, vigorous training that made them stronger, stronger than any ordinary Lycan. Most of them gained the strength of a hundred Lycans combined. The Moonwhisperer, before Maya, the general from across the sea, had the strength of a thousand Lycans. That was because of his experience as a warrior, coupled with his special gift.”A fresh wave of shocked murmurs spread through the hall. Even Kael looked taken aback.“But why?” Kael’s voice cut through the noise. “Why did they all lose their powers? Was the Dark One responsible for that too?”The priestess inclined her head. “The pattern has been consistent. Because of how Moonwhisperers discover their powers, the Dark One alway

Chapter: Chapter#128FINNI’d thought about a thousand ways to finally tell Maya how I feel.In one version, there were flowers, armfuls of them, roses and lilies spilling across a moonlit clearing. In another, I held a single stem between my teeth, dressed in my best suit, soft music drifting from somewhere while I dropped to one knee. I’d scrolled through endless internet threads, watched rom-com clips late at night, imagining every moment. The right words. The right time. The right everything.But none of those scenarios included blurting out a marriage proposal in a dingy motel room. And none of them prepared me for the way she stiffened in my arms the second the words left my mouth.“Finn…” Her voice was small, uncertain. I felt her shoulders tense against my chest.“I’m serious,” I said, willing my tone to stay steady even as my pulse hammered in my ears. “If you were my Luna, whoever did this wouldn’t have the guts to do it. No one would dare touch you. No one would have the power to hurt you like

Chapter: Chapter#05“I need to walk Milo,” I said as soon as I finished dinner. The rooms were all set, and Micah made the most delicious dinner for all of us. Micah had a shy, pleasing personality. Nate was friendly and loved to make jokes. And Noah… he made me feel like I should jump to his orders, not the other way around.Micah’s gentle voice followed. “Let me—”“No, thank you.” I didn’t let him finish. “I prefer walking him myself.”Noah’s gaze met mine. “In that case, let me accompany you.”“If you insist.” I smiled.Milo danced around at the word walk, not caring who came with, but I liked our bonding time. Still, I nodded, and he went upstairs to see if his suitcase had arrived from Elena yet. I took my coat from the front closet and buttoned up, grabbing Milo's leash and clipping it to his collar.By the time I had my gloves on, Noah came back down. Over his jeans and simple maroon sweater, he wore a dark cashmere coat that hung low and pointed out how broad his shoulders were. It was navy blue

Chapter: Chapter#04Their eyes were stuck on me. Well, I did my best not to stare back at them… not yet. I tried to keep my eyes on Elena, but it was tough.The first stood tall as a pine. He was lean and sun-kissed with blond hair catching fire in the lamplight. His eyes were the green of new leaves after rain.Beside him was broad as an ancient oak. His auburn hair bound in a warrior’s tail, and his skin was pale as moonlight on marble. He had a hazel gaze. The third, he was shorter yet still at least six feet tall. He had black hair spilling like ink to his shoulders, and eyes burning cobalt above the shadow of a beard. Muscle corded his frame like a pirate forged for battle and seduction.I forced my gaze to Elena, though every instinct screamed to drink them in. “Anything else I should know?” I kept my voice steady.“Nyra,” Elena said, rising from her seat. She pointed to the blonde one, “This is Micah,” then she pointed toward the redhead, “Noah,” then at the black haired one, “and he’s Nate.”At

Chapter: Chapter#03I anxiously paced the living room of the new house I bought. It was the last day of the week, and I knew Elena would be coming to see me anytime. I wasn't sure how I'd pass this test with all that I had done. And a legacy this good, I couldn’t afford lose it.Then the bell rang and I rushed to open the door. “Elena.” I greeted her. I was relieved and nervous to see her. “Please, come inside.”She scanned the area as I led her toward the living room. A silver tray gleamed on the coffee table, adorned with a steaming teapot and a scattering of delicate vanilla cakes from the corner bakery. Milo barreled in from the yard, through the doggie door. His paws skidded on the hardwood as he claimed her with eager sniffs.“Down, boy,” I firmly said.Elena’s lips curved in a smile. “This is far more welcoming than last time.” She sank onto the sofa. She cooed at Milo, scratching his chin until he melted into a puddle of fur at her feet.“Tea?” I offered, already reaching for the pot.“Honey and

Chapter: Chapter#02"Nyra, you look good."Elena was at my doorstep again. I was half expecting her. A week had passed, and it was quite strange… in a good way. I’d shaped my body until I was like a pin-up. I made my skin a little less pale, my hair golden blonde, and made the green of my eyes brighter. I couldn't say why, but I kept my freckles. When I was done, I had firm skin, a body for sin, and beauty that was just perfect. Yet somehow, I was still me, just an idealized version. “Please, come inside.” I invited her. Milo’s tail thumped a joyful rhythm against the floorboards as Elena stepped inside. She bent and threaded her fingers through his fur, then straightened. Her gaze swept the room before landing on me.“Are you immortal?” She asked.My heart stuttered. “What? No.” The word cracked like ice. “It’s a curse. Why would I want that?”She sank onto the sofa and adjusted herself. “Good. The magic you had couldn’t grant it anyway.” She paused for a moment and then continued. “And did you steal

Chapter: Chapter#01"Hello, Nyra."My whole spine felt as if something cold were slithering down it, yet the wind had nothing to do with the shivers. There's no such thing as good news when a counterfeit stranger persuades me with my genuine name, not names that I liked, like in high school, buddies nicknamed me Nini. Only bill collectors invoked the formality on my license."Yes?""I'm Elena Joeson. May I come in?""For what?" The word escaped sharp as a dagger. So there was something familiar about this person out on my doorstep… her features flickered past my mind, but I'd learned long ago that visitors without proper introductions brought with them only trouble."It’s rather chilly here. I'd like to get warm.”"Tell me why you came first, then we'll see." I crossed my arms.Barefoot, she stood level next to me. Those heels elevated her like a queen on a pedestal"I'm here about your mother.""Which one?" Ten years ago, the mother who raised me, the one I'd thought for thirty years was my mother, ha
