Moonbound: The Battle for the Rejected Mate CHAPTER NINE - BEGINNING OF A FALLEN KINGDOM
“Did you hear?”“Hear what?”“A house burnt down at night near the lower district.”“Oh Goddess…”“What started the fire?”“No valid information on that,”“And they said two people died, a daughter and her sick mother.”“How tragic…”“No survivors?”“None… but there’s something crazy about it, only one skeleton was found.”“It’s possible the other burnt completely, don’t think much of it.”Rumors about the death spread across the whole villages.Friend and relatives cried.———Back inside the palace…Theresa stood before the mirror while another maid adjusted her gown carefully.A guard entered quietly and bowed.“Greeting princess, it’s done.”Theresa didn’t turn around.“And my money?” She asked.“Here it is.” The guard said dropping the bag near the shelf.A satisfied smile appeared slowly on her lips.“Good, and the scene?”“The fire erased everything, leaving ashes behind.” The guard responded.Theresa smiled at her reflection calmly.“Ashes,” she smiled faintly, “cannot speak.”
Moonbound: The Battle for the Rejected Mate CHAPTER EIGHT - THE PRICE OF LOYALTY
The maid’s fingers trembled against the silver tray“Who could that be?” She turned around to the king just to see him laying down weak and almost lifeless. She stoop up quickly and rushed out of the king’s chambers.That same night…The alpha king who had once commanded a thousand territories, was now a fragile, dying man trapped in a falling shell.He tried to shift, but couldn’t move.“A… Any…one? He called out but his voice was barely heard, so low it couldn’t even pass through the doors.“You think you have won, Theresa,” the king rasped, his voice tearing like dry parchment.“You traded your own blood for the throne on deceit,” he paused as he grasped for breath.“But… a power obtained through bloodshed will never sit easy for you.”A thick line of dark blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, the only sign of the wolfsbane currently turning his veins into ice.“I lay a dying curse upon this palace and kingdom, it will be ruined in darkness and will not find peace until Ther
Moonbound: The Battle for the Rejected Mate CHAPTER SEVEN - THE PALACE REGICIDE
“What’s this……” “What have I gotten myself into?” The maid’s trembling voice resounded through the empty hallway as she held the small vial tightly in her hands. Her breathing became uneven. Fast. Heavy. “No… no, I can’t do this.” She whispered, stopping near a palace window. Her reflection started back at her. Pale face. Shaking lips. Terrified eyes. “I can’t kill the king…” she said going back to the maid quarters to rest. ——— The following day she travelled back home to visit her ill mother. “Please! Somebody help her!” The scream echoed through the small house the moment she arrived home. It was their neighbor trying to hold onto her mother. The maid froze. “M…Mother?” She rushed inside immediately, carrying her mom in her arms as the neighbor helped called over for help. Two healers surrounded the old woman lying weakly on the bed. Her mother’s breathing was shallow. Painful and violent coughs shook her body as she opened her eyes slowly. “Moth
Moonbound: The Battle for the Rejected Mate CHAPTER SIX - THE CROWN OF THORNS
“The new crown princess is……” the announcer paused for a second “Theresa of the Eastern Quarter.”The villagers and elders started applauding her as she walked over“Bow your head, Crown Princess.”The voice was firm.Cold.Commanding.Theresa gave a faint smile and quietly lowered her head But only physically.Inside, her wolf purred.I bow now… so i can make them bow later.A hand lifted her chin.“Look at me.”She did.It was James standing before her.The Alpha.The Future king.The man she once begged to see is now in front of her Now he was looking at her like… duty.Nothing more.“From this moment,” he said, his voice steady “You are bound to the throne. You will carry its honor. Its burdens. Its legacy.”Theresa nod in agreement.“And you?” she asked. “Will you carry me?”A brief silence. James stared directly into her eyes. She has no fear Then“I will protect you as my Luna.” He said Not love.Not want.Not choose.Protect.Her smile deepened.“How generous of you, Alp
Moonbound: The Battle for the Rejected Mate CHAPTER FIVE - THE PATH NO ONE SEES
I didn’t know when it happened, when affection turned into something deeper. It is not dramatic nor does it announce itself I felt uneasy but one thing I know for sure is that my heart beats whenever I am with him.It grew slowly and quietly, between mornings and nights, between laughters and shared silences.Dan sat across me at the small table, feeding Aiden my son a mashed fruits, making weird and funny faces until Aiden squeals. I watched happily, armed folded, my heart filled in a way that scared me.“You are spoiling him,” I said softly.Dan grins in joy. “That’s my job”I stood up and walked towards him, brushing my fingers against his shoulders as I lean down to kiss my baby’s cheek. Aiden smells like peace, happiness and home.Home.This word settles strangely in my heart.Later that night, when the city made low, steady continuous sound outside the windows and my son deep asleep between us, Dan turned to me.“You’ve been smiling more lately,” he says.I breathed softly.

He placed his hands on mine, I adjusted gently in discomfort, separating my hands from his and tightening around the handle of the seat. He sat in opposite direction facing me, eyes steady and unpleasant for me.“You don’t have to look at me that way,” i muttered, breaking the silence first.His lips moved at the corner. “What way?”“As if I am damaged like you’ll break me if you speak out loud.”“Maybe you are,” he said in a low tune. “You’ve been broken before.”My chest raced at the truth buried in his tone. “And you think you can heal me?”“It’s not about healing you, Leah. I just want to stand where no one else did when you shattered.”My breath skipped a beat. Why did he always say things that seize my past defenses?. I thought to myself.I forced myself to laugh bitterly. “That’s rich. A Beta who plays hero for an Omega no one wanted.”“You think I see you as less?” He came closer, his voice smooth. “I see you as everything I’ve been searching for.”I stared suddenly to the flo
Moonbound: The Battle for the Rejected Mate CHAPTER THREE - THE SAVIOR
The bulb lights above me blurred my vision as my body convulsed. Nurses screamed, different hands held onto my arms tight, but I only heard the voice echoing: “Your life or the child’s? Choose Leah.”I wept, rubbing hands on my swollen belly. “I can’t choose. I can’t… he’s all I have.”The doctor’s
Moonbound: The Battle for the Rejected Mate CHAPTER TWO - THE SECRET
“This can’t be.” A heavy taught weighed me down as I straightened on the floor, looking at the broken glass bottles on the floor. “I can’t tell him. He’ll never want this child.” I whispered to myself as my hands trembled.I gave in a heavy thought. “He won’t believe me. He’ll think it’s just a wa
Moonbound: The Battle for the Rejected Mate CHAPTER ONE - REJECTED
The cloud was heavy, I can hear the sound of my heartbeat in pains for him not to say the words I see through his eyes. “Don’t,” I said in a tiny voice, my voice shaking. “Please, James… don’t do this to me.”He stared at me, His gaze hardens, a wicked rime settling over Whats was once warm.“From
