Nora’s POV I stared at the cracked mirror, brushing down the pale blue dress I borrowed from the kitchen maid. It was nothing fancy. My hair was pinned back. No makeup. My shoes didn’t even match. But I still smiled. Because I wasn’t just any girl tonight. I was his. Alpha Kade. My mate. We had kept it a secret. He said it wasn’t the right time to tell anyone. He said people wouldn’t understand. That an omega couldn’t be Luna—not yet. But soon. Very soon. He’d hold me in his arms and whisper, “Soon, Nora. Just wait for me.” So I waited. And tonight, in front of the whole pack, he would finally say my name. I clutched the pendant he gave me,a small silver moon, the only thing I had that was truly mine. My hands shook, but my heart was full. He wouldn’t betray me. He couldn’t. Not after everything we shared. Not after all the nights I lay in his arms, thinking maybe… maybe I was finally enough. The hall sparkled with lights. Music. Laughter. Warriors danced with their mates. She-wolves in silk dresses twirled around the room. No one noticed when I slipped in from the back. But my eyes searched for him. There. Alpha Kade. Standing proud. Cold. Perfect. In a black suit with silver buttons that gleamed under the light. He looked around the room—and then… his eyes met mine. I waited for the smile. For the nod. For anything that said “I see you.” But he looked away. Just like that. I frowned. Maybe he was nervous. Maybe he was pretending for the crowd. I moved closer. But I see my best friend. Clara. I moved closer, my heart pounding. She was standing beside him… like she belonged there. Her dress was deep red. Her hair curled to perfection. Her lips painted like blood. She smiled at him. And then,he smiled back. My heart stopped. Kade raised his hand. “Tonight,” he said, “I will name the one chosen by the Moon Goddess to be my mate… and Luna of the Shadowfang Pack.” I reached for my pendant again. Please. Please let it be me. He stepped aside. Clara stepped forward. And he held her hand. I couldn’t breathe. What? No. No. This wasn’t right. This wasn’t real. “This,” Kade said, “is the she-wolf I’ve chosen.” The room erupted in cheers. But all I heard was the sound of my world breaking. Clara turned her head, and looked right at me. She knew. She knew everything. She was the one I told about the kisses, the late-night visits, the promise of tonight. She knew. And she still took him. My legs moved before my mind caught up. I stepped into the open. “Kade,” I whispered, “what are you doing?” His jaw clenched. I took another step. “You said I was yours. You said…” “I never said anything,” he snapped, voice like ice. A few people turned to stare. “You’re lying,” I choked out. “We—we were together. You…” “That was a mistake,” he said. “A game.” Tears filled my eyes. “But the bond. You felt it. You marked me—” He laughed. “Mark you? An omega?” His eyes were cruel. “You really believed you were anything more than a warm body?” I flinched. “You were convenient,” he said sharply. “That’s all.” The crowd gasped. Clara didn’t even flinch. “I, Alpha Kade of Shadowfang Pack, reject you as my mate.” The room spun. No. Please no. “You’re not worthy. You’re not Luna. And from this moment on… you’re nothing.” I shook my head, choking on sobs. “You loved me…” “No,” he said coldly. “I used you. Now up to you guards, drag her out I ran. Out of the hall. Into the cold. Past the people who laughed. Past the guards who turned their faces. No one stopped me. No one cared. Not even him. Not even her. I collapsed at the edge of the forest, knees sinking into the mud. The moon above looked down like a silent witness. I gripped my pendant and screamed. Not for him. But for the version of me who had believed. Who had trusted. Who had loved too much. And as the wind howled through the trees, I whispered through broken lips— “Why did you give me to him, Moon Goddess… why?”

Rejected And Reborn Auren Ascends
Chapter 232 – Auren AscendsHis POVAuren stood atop the cliffs overlooking the valley, the wind whipping through his hair, tugging at the edges of his tunic. His eyes, sharp and golden, mirrored the sunlight that spilled across the forest below. From this vantage point, he could see the borders of the territory his parents had so carefully built—a land of strength, unity, and history. Yet, even as the sun bathed the pack’s grounds in warm light, he felt the tension that lingered like a shadow.He was the Alpha now, though not yet crowned. The weight of that title pressed heavily against his shoulders, heavier than any armor, heavier than the scars he bore from his training. Axel and Nora had raised him to be strong, to wield his gifts responsibly, but Auren knew that power alone was not enough. Respect and loyalty were earned, and there were wolves who already whispered doubts behind closed doors. Some elders muttered about his age, some warriors wondered if he had the strength of mi
Rejected And Reborn Quiet
Chapter 231 The forest was quiet, but to Auren, silence carried weight. It carried whispers, judgments, and the unspoken questions of every wolf in the surrounding packs. Standing atop the ridge overlooking his territory, he breathed deeply, feeling the wind ruffle his dark hair and brush against the edges of his cloak. His parents had taught him well: strength was not only in muscle and claw but in perception, in patience, in knowing when to strike and when to wait.Auren had grown into a formidable young man, his aura already hinting at the power he had inherited from both his mother and his father. The golden gleam in his eyes—like the mate bond that had bound his parents—was unmistakable. It radiated authority, promise, and the subtle hum of an untapped energy waiting to be unleashed. Yet, despite the confidence that came naturally to him, a storm brewed beyond the borders of the forest: political doubt.Even within his own pack, some wolves eyed him with suspicion. “Too young,”
Rejected And Reborn Begining
Chapter 230Auren stood atop the high cliff overlooking the valley, the first light of dawn casting gold across the forest. His chest swelled with pride—not the kind of arrogance that comes from power, but the quiet, steady pride of one who knows the weight of responsibility. Every muscle in his body was honed from years of training, his senses sharp as a wolf’s, his mind steady like his father’s. And yet, the bond to his parents—the lessons, the love, and the legacy of his father’s strength and his mother’s untamed power—flowed through him like a river, shaping him, tempering him, guiding him.The pack waited below, their murmurs rising on the wind. Auren could feel them all—the loyal ones, the hesitant ones, the whispers of doubt, and the curiosity of those who had watched him grow from the boy who had once been cradled in his mother’s arms to this young man standing ready to claim his place. Each heartbeat was a reminder: he carried not only the power of his lineage but the expecta
Rejected And Reborn Auren’s First War as Future Alpha
Chapter 221 — Auren’s First War as Future AlphaHis POVThe moment the council scattered after questioning my legitimacy, I thought the tension would settle. I thought the whispers would fade, and the pack would slowly fall back into harmony.I was wrong.The challenge came faster than thunder.At dawn, the horns sounded—three sharp blasts carrying across the valley. War horns. My heart hammered once, solid and heavy, like it knew what was coming.A scout sprinted into the courtyard, face pale, chest heaving.“Alpha—future Alpha—Auren… they’re here. The Ironfang alliance. More than one pack.”My stomach tightened, but my voice stayed steady.“How many?”“Three packs… maybe four. They say your display of power yesterday was ‘an act of aggression’ and they’re answering it with force.”Of course.Strength commands respect, but it also awakens fear.And fear creates enemies.I nodded. “Prepare the warriors. Form the first and second defensive lines.”The scout bowed and ran.Behind him, I
Rejected And Reborn The Kiss
Chapter 228The morning sun barely kissed the horizon when Auren stood at the edge of the cliff overlooking the valley that his pack now called home. The wind tugged at his hair, but it did not unsettle him; instead, it carried with it the weight of expectation, of legacy, and the silent judgment of those who still doubted him. Twenty years had passed since his birth, and every day since had been a lesson in survival, strategy, and strength. He had inherited his mother’s piercing aura and his father’s unyielding fortitude—gifts that, when combined, made him extraordinary, but also marked him as a target.His pack members had gathered at the base of the cliff, some kneeling instinctively, some standing rigid with caution. He could feel their whispers even without turning—questions about his age, his experience, their loyalty wavering. The political unrest had been simmering for weeks; Auren had sensed it through subtle cues, the slight hesitation in commands, the secret glances exchang
Rejected And Reborn The Hill
Chapter 227 – The HillAuren stood at the crest of the hill overlooking the council grounds, his chest rising and falling with measured breaths. The wind whipped through his dark hair, carrying the scents of the surrounding forests and the faint tension of the packs gathered below. Even from this distance, he could sense the murmur of doubts and whispers—the subtle questioning of his age, his experience, his legitimacy. But he would not falter. He had trained for this moment for years under the watchful eyes of his parents, Axel and Nora, learning not only to fight but to lead, to read people, to understand the fragile web of loyalty and ambition that wove through the wolf world.He shifted his stance, letting the bond with his parents flow through him. He could feel their pride, their quiet encouragement, and even the echo of their warnings. The bond was a warm anchor in the storm of uncertainty. His mother’s patience, his father’s strength—they were now a part of him, their legacy f
