His Rejected True Luna

Ravynna’s POV I am the only female warrior in Alpha King's most gruelling training camp and for the first time I have returned home in six years. When my parents met me at the border, the one I'd been hoping to see wasn't there, Kael. The man, I've been pining for six whole years. Nothing seemed to have changed here, the same ancient oaks lining the main path six years ago were still there… their branches arching overhead like a cathedral ceiling. I pressed my fingertips against the cold window glass and exhaled slowly. ‘Your heart rate is embarrassing’, my wolf Lyra said from somewhere deep inside me, her voice dripping with amusement. ‘I can feel it from here.’ "Oh please shut up," I muttered under my breath. "Did you say something, sweetheart?" Mom glanced at me from the passenger seat, her eyes soft with the particular warmth she reserved for homecomings. "Nothing. Just talking to Lyra." Dad caught my eye in the rearview mirror and smiled. He didn't say anything. He neve

Ravynna’s POV Kael looked like he was about to say something else, before Alpha Jarrett’s sudden cough cut him off. We turned to see him stumble into his wife’s arms, clutching his chest tightly as the violent cough tore through him. It was bad. I sat frozen as I saw blood splatter all over his shaking hands, whilst his body trembled under the strain. The tension in the room turned into worry as my parents rushed to his side before Dad helped him towards the couch whilst Luna Elara hurriedly cleaned up the blood. “Father…” Kael’s voice broke through, stepping forward as Alpha Jarrett let out another violent cough, his expression still held malice but this time fear had slipped in. My heart ached as I wondered what Kael was currently feeling right now, they had always been a close bunch but now this marriage… and his hatred for me seemed to have torn them apart. As though he could sense my thoughts, his gaze slowly turned to hold mine, right now all I wished the ground could ope

Ravynna’s POV Five days! It’s been five days since Kael has looked me dead in the eyes and told me I was going to regret trying to help his pack. “You still have a few hours until the mating ceremony,” my wolf slowly reminded me as I stared at the finishing arrangements. I should have felt honored, but that thrill I thought I would get at the thought of finally marrying my childhood love was absent. Instead, I felt empty inside. These past days, at the request of Kael’s parents, I had been staying in Stormfang Pack as his betrothed Luna. I knew what I was entering, but having spent time here, I couldn’t help but wonder if I had made the right decision. When Luna Elara had suggested I try to know this new Kael better, if I had known I wouldn’t see Kael talk more of knowing him better… I wouldn’t have agreed… Everyone knew I wasn’t the woman he wanted. His betrothed Luna was what his father called me while he sang praises to anyone who gave him a listening ear, but I felt like

Ravynna’s POV For the umpteenth time, I stretched across the bed… the king sized bed that laid in the middle of this impossibly large room. I was yet to style it to my taste… I didn’t even know what Kael might like or perhaps I was flattering myself by believing he’d ever see the inside of this room. “The more you lay in here, the more the reality that we had married ourselves sinks in” Lyra commented but I ignored her, my fingers curling into the sheet as my eyes trailed around the extravagant empty space except for the bed and the balcony that overlooked the training grounds. I lost track of time, lost in my wandering thoughts until my eyes met the Luna’s crest placed beside my solo picture…memories of last night replayed in my head and I couldn’t tell which part hurt more…Kael’s betrayal or his humiliation, or the pitying looks from the pack and visitors. Yesterday’s bonding ceremony had turned into a complete farce, and Kael just couldn’t stop himself from making me a laughing

Ravynna’s POV “Oh my goddess?!” Lyra exclaimed while my mouth hung open. “Yeah…yeah, let’s pretend we didn’t just hear him call us mate?” Lyra teased, before I could answer, Zephyr pushed a frozen stunned Aiden away from the doorway, jacking me up once again. She was enjoying this but right now, I wanted Zephyr to drop me down and explain what the hell was happening here?! He basked in the attention he had drawn. Alpha Jareth and Luna Elara didn’t even bother trying to stop him… Lyra scoffed, “That was Kael’s job but where was he? Everywhere but here.” One moment I was trying to hide to escape the shame Kael had exposed me to, and the next, Zephyr, my number one hater was striding into my room as if it belonged to him, with a smirk plastered on his face, before whisking me up and away. The fact that I couldn’t protest had me boiling in fury, I didn’t want the guards to act irrationally so I just let him carry me. With Zephyr, it had always been trouble. It was either he was
