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 Pale
Chapter 179 : She Looke PaleAxel’s POVThe moon hung pale and hollow above the forest, its light bleeding across the trees like spilled milk over dark soil. My body was barely functioning, my veins still burning from silver. I could taste blood — hers, mine — I didn’t know anymore. The only thing that kept my heart from stopping was the faint hum of our bond, that fragile thread tying me to her even as darkness tried to pull me under.I’d carried her for miles, half-conscious, half-feral, her limp body pressed against my chest. Every breath she took was a fight, every heartbeat a whisper I clung to like a drowning man to driftwood. When I finally collapsed near the border, the world tilted, my vision shattering into streaks of red and black. I remember her hand slipping from mine… then nothing.When I opened my eyes again, I was surrounded.Warriors — my warriors — circled around me, spears drawn, eyes wide with shock and disgust. The smell of iron and blood hung heavy in the air. My
Rejected And Reborn The Bond That Burns
Chapter 178 : The Bond That BurnsHis POV — AxelThe world was burning, and so was I.The air was thick with smoke, carrying the metallic tang of blood and the stench of death. Every tree I passed seemed to whisper her name — Nora. It was the only sound that mattered to me now.My claws tore through the earth as I charged forward, my wolf form crashing through the chaos. Fire licked at my fur, silver-tipped arrows hissed past me, and the snarls of enemy wolves echoed all around. But my focus never wavered. My mate was in my arms. My Luna. My life.Her body hung limp against my chest, her skin pale and clammy, her heartbeat faint — so faint I could barely feel it through the roar of my own blood. I could taste her scent even through the ash, a mix of honey, wildflowers, and the sharp, metallic note of her blood.“Nora…” I growled, my voice guttural and broken even in my wolf form. The sound was torn from somewhere deep in my soul. “Stay with me, please.”But she didn’t answer.Her head
Rejected And Reborn The Alpha’s Fury
Chapter 177 : The Alpha’s FuryHPOV — AxelThe pain was constant. It had become a rhythm I couldn’t escape, the sting of silver searing into my flesh, the heavy pull of chains that had cut so deep they became part of me.For days, maybe weeks, I had lost track, I’d been trapped in that dark pit, half-alive, half-wild, clinging to one thought only: her.Nora.Her name was the only thing keeping me from slipping into madness. Every breath I took, every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face. I heard her voice. I felt the faint hum of our bond still alive somewhere deep inside me — weak, flickering, but there.And then, that night… everything changed.It began as a whisper — a pull stronger than before. My wolf stirred restlessly inside me, growling low. The silver made him weak, but the bond— the bond pulsed stronger, like a heartbeat calling across distance and darkness.“Nora,” I whispered, my voice raw, cracked. “Don’t come here… please…”Because I knew her. I knew that if there was e
Rejected And Reborn The Bond Unleashed
Chapter 176 The Bond Unleashed — Nora Pov The night was heavy, thick with smoke and whispers of danger.I stood at the edge of the forest, staring across the border into enemy territory. The air there didn’t move right, it shimmered faintly, distorted by the dark magic that kept intruders away. But that magic didn’t scare me anymore. Nothing did. Not after what I had already endured.My heart pounded steadily, echoing the pull in my chest, the pull toward him.Somewhere beyond the flickering fires and armed sentries, Axel was alive… suffering, waiting. I could feel his heartbeat through the bond, weak but still there, a quiet rhythm whispering for me to come. His pain thrummed in my veins like a command, pushing me forward even as exhaustion clung to my bones.I crouched low behind a line of thick trees, eyes glowing faintly as I watched the camp. Warriors moved everywhere — patrols circling, guards drinking from metal flasks, their laughter sharp and cruel. Torches burned low, ill
Rejected And Reborn The Path of the Bond
Chapter 175 : The Path of the BondNora’s POV The forest was alive — whispering, watching, and breathing with ancient magic.I could feel it in the air, in the way the leaves trembled even when there was no wind. Every step I took made the ground pulse faintly beneath my feet, like the heart of the earth was guiding me forward. My heartbeat had long since synced with it — steady, determined, fierce. I didn’t know where the path would lead, but my soul did. It was tracing the invisible thread that connected me to him — to Axel.Each pulse through the bond was faint, flickering, almost lost to the darkness — but it was enough. I could feel him, distant but alive. Hurt. Fading. Yet still there.I tightened my grip on the cloak around my shoulders and whispered to the night, “I’m coming, my love. No matter what it takes.”The forest didn’t answer. But I could feel it — a hum, deep and low, like it had heard me and approved.I had been walking for hours — maybe days. The sun barely reache
Rejected And Reborn Axel’s Point of View — Connection Through the Bond
Chapter 174 : Axel’s Point of View — Connection Through the BondHis POV The darkness had teeth.It gnawed at him slowly, mercilessly — the kind that crept under the skin, sank into the bones, and whispered of despair. Axel hung from the silver chains biting into his wrists, his body trembling from the constant agony that pulsed with every heartbeat. His blood had long since lost its color, now a dull smear of crimson-black pooling at his feet. Each breath burned, every exhale came out as a low growl he couldn’t fully suppress.He didn’t know how long he had been trapped. Hours. Days. Time had dissolved into pain.But even through that darkness, something flickered — faint, fragile, but alive.Her.At first, he thought he was hallucinating. The fever from the silver poisoning was twisting his senses, making shadows speak and ghosts dance in the corners of his vision. But then… her scent reached him. Light. Familiar. Comforting. It seeped through the cracks of his pain like moonlight
