REJECTED BY THE MOON A New ALLIANCE
A New AllianceThe courtyard emptied slowly after that, guards leading Draven away under scrutiny she hadn't experienced in years, her protests thinning with every step, until she disappeared through the gate and the tension gripping the yard began, gradually, to ease.Victor stayed. I watched him linger near the gate long after Draven had gone, his satchel handed off to one of Kieran's most trusted guards, his shoulders finally loosening now that the confrontation was over."You should have told me you suspected her," Kieran said, once the crowd had thinned enough for something like privacy. "Weeks ago.""I should have," Victor agreed. "I was building the case. I wanted it airtight before I brought it to you, because the moment I did, she'd have every reason to move against me instead of waiting to be exposed."It was a reasonable answer. I noticed that, standing there, and I also noticed something underneath it I couldn't quite name yet, a carefulness in the way Victor chose his wor
REJECTED BY THE MOON VICTOR'S PROOF
Victor's ProofThey brought him through the gate under guard, though Victor didn't look like a man who needed escorting. He walked like someone used to command, shoulders squared, chin level, a leather satchel clutched against his side like it weighed more than everything else he owned combined.I'd never seen him before. I realized that, watching him cross the courtyard, and felt strange for it, given how many times his name had already threaded through conversations I'd overheard, arguments I'd been talked around rather than included in. Kieran's beta. Kieran's closest friend, if the stories were true. A man whose father had died at the hands of Kieran's own father, and who had spent years since building a friendship with the son anyway, for reasons I'd never fully understood until I watched his face as he looked at Draven across the courtyard.It wasn't friendship on his face. It was something colder, older, carefully banked."Victor." Kieran stepped forward, and I heard something
REJECTED BY THE MOON WHAT DRAVEN DIDN'T EXPECT
What Draven Didn't ExpectBy the time we reached the castle, the pack lands had fully woken around us, and word of our absence had traveled faster than our footsteps. A cluster of guards waited at the gate, tense, and among them stood a face I hadn't expected to see so early.Draven.She stood with her hands folded in front of her, composed as ever, though something in the set of her shoulders told me our absence had cost her a night's sleep she hadn't planned on losing."Alpha," she said, inclining her head to Kieran with exaggerated courtesy. "I do hope your morning excursion was productive. The hearing is only hours away, and I'd hate for you to arrive unprepared.""We're well prepared," Kieran said, his voice giving away nothing of the hour we'd just spent. "Better prepared, I suspect, than you're expecting."Something flickered behind her composed expression, quick and gone, but I caught it, the same way I'd learned to catch Shane's cracks. She didn't know we'd found the boundary
REJECTED BY THE MOON THE LINE HE CROSSED
The Line He CrossedNobody moved for a long moment after the symbols flared. I watched the dull red light pulse once, twice, then fade, and understood that Shane had just proven something to all of us without saying another word. He could cross the boundary. He'd done it before, apparently often enough that the old wards barely reacted to him anymore, worn thin the way a path gets worn smooth by too many feet walking the same line."Get back," Kieran said, stepping in front of me before I'd fully registered the danger myself. "You don't get to walk onto pack land just because you've decided you're the one saving it.""I've been walking onto pack land for over a year," Shane said, unbothered, brushing invisible dust from his sleeve like the threat hadn't registered at all. "Ask Draven, if you don't believe me. Ask any of the elders who've been quietly meeting with me in places your guards don't think to watch. I've had more access to your territory than you have, Kieran, for longer tha
REJECTED BY THE MOON BEFORE MOONRISE
Before MoonriseWe didn't sleep. There wasn't time, and even if there had been, I doubt any of us could have managed it. By the time the sky over the pack lands had started to lighten from black toward the deep blue that comes an hour before dawn, we were already moving, cutting east through the trees toward the same boundary stones where all of this had truly started."You don't have to come," Kieran said to Elara, for the third time since we'd left the castle. "If this goes badly, I'd rather you weren't standing in the middle of it.""If this goes badly," Elara said, "you'll want someone who can run fast enough to bring back help. That's me. I'm coming."He didn't argue a fourth time. I think he'd already learned, in the short time since the clearing, that neither of us backed down from a decision once we'd made it.Akira walked at the front, her pace steadier than it had any right to be given the night she'd already survived. She carried something wrapped in cloth against her chest
REJECTED BY THE MOON WHAT MARCUS KNEW
Nobody spoke for a long moment. Even the shrine seemed to hold still around us, moss and broken stone and the four of us standing in the middle of it like the name itself had physically changed the shape of the air we were breathing."Shane," I said, testing the weight of it in my own mouth, feeling how strange it was to say after all this time. The last time I'd said that name out loud, it had come out of me on the worst day of my life, standing at the front of a crowd in my mother's wedding dress, right before he'd told the entire pack I wasn't worthy of him. I hadn't expected to say it again like this, in the dark, surrounded by people trying to keep me alive instead of watching me get discarded. "Shane's behind this. Shane's paying Draven.""He's been paying half the council for over a year," Marcus said. "I only found out because I overheard my father arguing with her about it, months ago, in his own study, when he thought the door was closed properly. He didn't want any part of
REJECTED BY THE MOON THE PACK'S JUDGEMENT

REJECTED BY THE MOON CHANGE OF IDENTITY
CHAPTER 6.My parents were seriously bent on getting rid of me. I guess they saw me as a burden that they should quickly toss away. “Rebecca!” my mother said. She claimed up the stairs and walked towards my room. I ran back into my room and opened the window. I was going to jump, but the front was

CHAPTER 5.He killed her.My body froze in shock, as I was suddenly being pulled away by some mighty hands. Swiftly, I was picked up like a piece of trash, and thrown into a large black van, which resembled an ambulance. Then, the journey began.As I sat behind that van in darkness, the wave of un
REJECTED BY THE MOON CLAIMED BY THE MORTUARY ATTENDANT
CHAPTER 4.Claimed by the mortuary attendant.The stench of decayed smell suddenly hit my nostrils. It was just so much to ignore. As I tried to open my eyes, I felt a direct sharp pain directly at the back of my head. Just then, the dawn of realization hit me."Where am I?" I mumbled in weakness.
