last update Last Updated: 2025-11-09 02:07:40

POV: Thelma

I was alive. I could move my fingers, blink my eyes, breathe air into my lungs. But something was terribly, horribly wrong.

Xavier pulled back from our embrace, his face filled with relief and love. I could see the emotion in his eyes, read it in his expression. But I couldn't feel it. Not through the mate bond. Not in my chest where my heart should have been racing with joy.

Nothing.

"Thelma?" Xavier's smile faltered. "What's wrong? Are you in pain?"

I pressed my hand to my chest, searching for that familiar warmth I'd always felt when he was near. The flutter of excitement. The pull of the mate bond. But there was nothing there except a cold, empty space.

"I can't feel anything," I whispered.

"What do you mean?" Theo moved closer, concern replacing his earlier relief.

"My heart." I looked down at my chest, half expecting to see gray stone still visible beneath my skin. But it looked normal. Flesh-colored. Human. "It's beating. I know it's beating. But I

  • REJECTED AND REBORN AS THE ALPHA KING'S LUNA    Chapter 63: Champions at Dusk

    POV: Xavier Ravencrest smiled, showing fangs. "Meet your opponents, wolves. Malakai, six hundred years of battlefield experience. Seraphine, dhampir witch who's killed more wolves than you've met in your lifetime. And The Silent One, who hasn't spoken in three centuries. The last time he fought wolves, forty-seven died. Good luck." He laughed and retreated with his champions. "We're going to die," Luna said quietly beside me. "Maybe," I replied. "But we'll die fighting for what's right. That counts for something." The Oracle appeared, gesturing for us to follow her. "Come. I have much to teach you and very little time to do it." +++++++ The training was brutal. The Oracle took us to a secluded clearing and immediately began drilling ancient vampire killing techniques. Vampires were faster than wolves, stronger than humans, and could manipulate shadows and blood magic. "Their weakness is their arrogance," the Oracle said. "They've lived so long, they underestimate their opponen

  • REJECTED AND REBORN AS THE ALPHA KING'S LUNA    Chapter 62: Choosing Champions

    POV: Xavier The morning sun rose over the Silver Moon pack, but it felt like a death sentence counting down. I stood in the Council chamber, surrounded by arguing voices, everyone shouting over each other about who should fight the vampires. My head pounded from lack of sleep, but my decision was already made. "I volunteer as champion," I said loudly, cutting through the chaos. The room fell silent. Everyone turned to stare at me. "Absolutely not," Alpha Celeste said immediately. "You're our only True Alpha. Losing you would be catastrophic for all wolf packs, not just Silver Moon." "Then the Council should have thought about that before scheduling Thelma's execution," I replied. "You were willing to kill her yesterday. Now others might die saving her. I'm volunteering to be one of them." Thorne stood, his face red with anger. "This is exactly why True Alphas are dangerous. You put individual lives above the greater good." "No, I put justice above politics. There's a difference

    "No one is surrendering anyone," Celeste said firmly. "But we need time to consider options." Ravencrest pulled a pocket watch from his coat, checking it with casual elegance. "Time is a luxury I'm disinclined to grant. You have one hour to decide. Surrender the twins, or we attack. Every wolf here will die, and I'll take the twins anyway. At least this way, the rest of you survive." He turned and walked back to his army, his silver hair catching moonlight like a banner. The Council exploded into argument. Thorne advocated loudly for surrender. Damien remained silent, his expression calculating. I could see him weighing options, considering angles. If the vampires took Thelma, his political rival Xavier would be devastated. The True Alpha might even leave the pack in grief. Damien saw opportunity in disaster. Alpha Vera argued against surrender on principle. Marcus Grey pointed out they had no army capable of defeating vampires. Only Celeste seemed to be thinking beyond the immedi

  • REJECTED AND REBORN AS THE ALPHA KING'S LUNA    Chapter 60: The Vampire Lord's Claim

    POV: LunaThe vampire army was a nightmare made of flesh. I stood on the walls of Silver Moon pack territory, watching them assemble in the darkness beyond our borders. Hundreds of them, pale and beautiful and deadly. They moved with inhuman grace, their red eyes glowing in the moonlight like demons from ancient stories.At their center stood their leader, and he was the most terrifying of all. Lord Erebus Ravencrest looked like a fallen angel. Silver hair fell past his shoulders, contrasting sharply with blood red eyes. He wore elegant black clothing that belonged in a palace, not a battlefield. But the power radiating from him made every wolf present instinctively step back.Eight hundred years old, the whispers said. Ancient beyond measure, cruel beyond imagination."They're going to attack," Sage said beside me, her hand on her sword hilt. "We should prepare defenses.""Defenses won't help," I replied quietly. "There are too many of them, and they're too strong. If they attack, we

    So this was Sage, Luna's Beta. I'd heard about her, a legendary fighter who'd never lost a battle. "Our pack scouts just arrived. They say there's going to be war if Thelma isn't freed. Alpha Marcus is rallying the southern packs. They're preparing to march on the Silver Moon." Luna's face went pale. "War? Over one trial?" "It's bigger than that now," Sage said. "A True Alpha has awakened and chosen to protect someone. If the Council executes her anyway, it sends a message that even True Alphas can be ignored. Every pack with a strong Alpha will see it as a threat." "How many warriors?" I asked. Sage turned to me, her eyes assessing. "At least five hundred, possibly more. Luna's father is leading them. He says he won't let the Council corrupt justice." Luna grabbed my arm. "Theo, this is spiraling out of control. We need to stop this before wolves start dying." "I'll go to the Council," I said. "Show them this evidence about Thorne. It might be enough to shift the vote."

  • REJECTED AND REBORN AS THE ALPHA KING'S LUNA    Chapter 58: True Alpha Rising

    POV: Theo The entire pack was in chaos. I stood in the main hall, watching wolves rush past in panic and excitement. News of Xavier's True Alpha awakening had spread faster than wildfire. Everyone was talking about it, arguing about it, trying to understand what it meant. "A True Alpha hasn't been seen in over a century," one elder muttered. "It's impossible. He's not even Alpha born." "But we all felt it. That power, it was real." I pushed through the crowd, heading toward the Council chamber. Luna caught up with me, her face flushed from running. "Theo, what's happening? I heard Xavier awakened as a True Alpha." "He did. Right in front of everyone. When Damien tried to strike Thelma, something in Xavier just exploded. Power like I've never seen before." Luna's eyes widened. "True Alphas are awakened through selfless sacrifice. Xavier was willing to die to protect her." "Even though he doesn't remember loving her," I said. "His soul knows what his mind forgot."
