My earliest memories were of loneliness and survival. Abandoned as a pup, I grew up wandering the edges of packs, always longing for a sense of belonging that remained just out of reach. Every attempt to join a pack ended the same way—with rejection. No parents, no known bloodline, no place to call home. To them, I was nothing more than an outsider. Unworthy.

The sting of rejection hardened me, shaping me into a survivor. I learned to rely on no one but myself.

That changed when I was fifteen.

I stumbled upon Maron, a reclusive she-wolf who had long turned her back on pack life. Grief had driven her into isolation after she lost her mate in a brutal war, but something about the lost, starving girl standing before her softened her heart. She took me in—offered me food, shelter, and, most importantly, kindness.

Being a teenager was hard enough, but being one who hadn’t shifted yet? Even harder. Still, I managed to pull it off.

One evening, as I crept toward Maron, trying to sneak up on her, she turned just before I could pounce. She grinned knowingly.

“Happy eighteenth birthday, darling.”

I stopped in my tracks, eyes widening at the sight before me—a well-made cake with a bold "18" written on top. My mouth fell open slightly.

“So this is why you sent me hunting earlier, isn’t it, Ma?” I smirked, calling her the name I always had. She was the closest thing to a mother I’d ever known.

Maron chuckled. “Maybe.”

“Thanks, Ma. I really appreciate it,” I said, settling down beside her. I eyed the cake playfully. “Hope it’s edible this time.”

She burst out laughing. “I think so, Rex. I followed the recipe book you gave me last year—after I completely ruined that last one.”

I laughed along with her. “Guess we’ll find out. You first.”

Maron nudged the plate toward me. “Oh, no. Birthday girl goes first.”

I grinned but leaned back dramatically. “I’d rather not, Ma. I’m only eighteen! I can’t die yet—I haven’t even shifted or met my mate!” I counted on my fingers for emphasis.

Maron’s laughter softened as she shook her head. “Speaking of shifting… tonight should be the night. The clearing outside should be perfect for your first transformation.”

My heart leaped. “Finally! I can see what it actually feels like to shift.”

I jumped to my feet, ready to race back to my room, when Maron called after me, “You didn’t eat the cake yet!”

I pretended not to hear her, dashing off with laughter trailing behind me.

I barely felt like I had slept when Maron’s sharp voice woke me.

“The moon is out, Rex. It’s almost time.”

I sat up groggily, then remembered what was happening. Excitement rushed through me. This was it. My first shift.

I followed Maron to the clearing she had mentioned earlier. It was an open field, barren but bathed in silver moonlight.

“Stand in the center, my dear,” she instructed. “The moment the moon passes over you, the shift should begin.”

I stepped forward, rolling my shoulders. “Alright, Ma. I’ll just stand here like a sitting duck,” I joked, trying to lighten the mood.

She smiled but didn’t respond.

Minutes later, we felt the shadow of the moon move. Maron stepped back.

“Almost time,” she called.

And then it happened.

The moment the moon’s light touched me, something ignited inside. A surge of power coursed through my veins, overwhelming and uncontrollable. My knees buckled, and I collapsed.

Damn, Maron could have warned me about this part.

The air around me shifted. My senses sharpened—I could hear, see, and feel everything with new clarity. Then, a voice echoed in my mind.

Ria.

I sucked in a sharp breath. My wolf.

Not now, Wolfie, I thought, trying to focus on shifting. But something felt off. The power within me built to a breaking point—and then, just like that, it vanished.

The moonlight dimmed. The pain disappeared. My senses remained heightened, but something was missing.

I wasn’t in my wolf form.

I looked down. Same arms. Same legs. Same human body.

Maron rushed to me, concern written all over her face. “What happened?” she asked, checking me over.

“I… I don’t know,” I admitted, shaking my head in disbelief. “I felt the shift coming. My senses kicked in. I even heard my wolf.” I exhaled sharply. “But I didn’t shift.”

Maron's brows furrowed, but she quickly masked her worry. “Shifts are different for everyone, Rex. Yours might just take a little longer.”

But I could see it in her eyes—she had no idea what had happened either.

I forced a smile. “I’m sure I’ll shift when the time is right. No need to worry, Ma.”

She pulled me into a tight hug, and for the first time that night, I let my guard down.

After we said our goodnights, I climbed into bed with one lingering thought:

When exactly will that time be?

One year later:

Maron stood in front of me with another cake, a warm smile on her face.

“Happy nineteenth birthday, Rex.”

I looked at the cake, then at her.

“I went into town to get it this time,” she added.

I let out a small chuckle, but deep inside, the weight of the past year settled over me.

A whole year had passed. And still… no shift.

I swallowed the lump in my throat. I guess the time still isn’t right.

  • Rejected mythical Luna   The joining

    Rex POVAs we walked into the pack house after leaving the Field, my eyes softened at how well the ruins had been replaced, almost like that attack had never even happened.Were we gone that long? Long enough for them to rebuild all this so perfectly?Me and Aries climbed the stairs and made our way directly to our room, the comfort of home we really needed right now. Just that moment to breathe while in each other’s arms.Julian and everyone else slipped into their rooms as well. Zane was given a room by Alpha Charles who, just like Aries, was still being protective about him and Rose sharing a bed. Those Alpha tropes…After showering, we lay on the bed without a word. I rested gently on him, the steady sound of his heartbeat keeping me grounded. The silence felt like a break from everything that had happened this past week. Just being there screamed freedom to me.After a while, I spoke softly, my hand tracing circles on Aries’s arm.“Do you think they’ll accept the banished?”His b

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Peace Once Again

    Rex’s POV The crowd around us had grown thicker, smiles lighting every face as whispers rippled low through the field. My eyes scanned the sea of people until I finally found the face I was looking for.Lucy pushed through the crowd with Alpha Charles at her side, her eyes watery and full of relief.Aries let out a low howl the moment his gaze locked on them. The sound tore from his chest, raw and filled with emotion. I joined him, our howls blending and echoing through the field until it vibrated in my bones.Warriors rushed forward, dropping bundles of clothes at our feet. Aries snatched his with his teeth before retreating into the trees. I followed, shifting back in seconds and tugging the clothes on. When I emerged, Aries was waiting, hand outstretched, eyes softened.“We’re home,” he said with a smile.I clasped his hand, nodding. “Your parents must’ve missed you all.”Julian and Robin came up, already dressed, and Julian smirked. “Pretty sure they missed me the most.” He shove

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Proud

    Rex’s POV I stood firm, Aries at my side, as my eyes scanned the wall of warriors blocking our path. Braun had already retreated after my first outburst—now watching from behind his men, hiding like the coward he was. What kind of Alpha stirs up trouble only to cower when it’s time to face the consequences? Foolish of me to think I could reason with him in the first place. “I don’t want to hurt you,” I said sharply, my voice carrying weight that made them flinch. Still, none of them moved. Too scared to attack, yet too stubborn to let us pass. “Let’s shift,” I whispered to Aries. His frown deepened and I could tell he didn’t like where this was unfolding. “Are you sure?” he asked softly. I nodded. “We’ll get out easier in wolf form. And I don’t want to shed any more blood.” That softened him, and he gave me a small smile. “Alright.” He mind-linked Julian, who nodded and quietly passed the message on. By now, what seemed like every last warrior had gathered. There was no reason

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Hate

    Rex’s POV The warriors surrounded us once again, spears raised, all because of a single order from their Alpha. They closed in quickly, and I could feel the anxiety rolling off everyone behind me, everyone except Aries, who still stood squarely at my side, his eyes never leaving Braun. I couldn’t think of a single reason Braun would want to imprison us. We had no ties here, no previous encounters. And since they were a halfie pack, they definitely had nothing to do with Ron. So what was it? “What reason do you have to imprison us?” Aries’ voice cut through the chaos, sharp and commanding. “I am an Alpha, demanding nothing but passage. And your answer is to throw us in the dungeons? That’s funny coming from you.” He even chuckled, low and amused. “I can do whatever I want, as long as you’re on my land,” Braun shot back, his frown deepening. “We don’t put too much weight on titles here, Alpha Aries,” he seethed. Aries took a step forward, unwavering, his gaze locked on Braun. “Ok

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Rold

    Aries’ POVI heard their footsteps before I saw them. The warriors were already approaching, and I meant it when I told Rex to leave the negotiations to me. She had done more than enough cracking the barrier, getting everyone out. The least I could do now was make sure we got back to our pack without trouble.“Identify yourselves!” one of them barked, spears raised as they surrounded us.I felt Rex move closer at my side, the rest of our people tensing.I drew a steady breath, peeling my gaze away from her and toward the warriors. My stance was calm, but my eyes hardened. No weakness. No desperation. That was the message: we wanted peace, but we weren’t begging for it.“I’m Alpha Aries of the Awoke Pack,” I said firmly, stepping forward and holding out my empty hands. “We demand nothing but passage.”“With such a crowd?” the same warrior scoffed, his spear still trained on us.I gave him a cold look. “We ask for nothing more than to pass through your territory on our way back to our p

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Next Test

    Rex’s POVI stared at the barrier longer than I should have, but nothing stirred in me, no matter how hard I tried. The harder I pushed, the more impossible it felt. Maybe I was reaching too high, thinking I could do this at all.Zane had been at it for nearly thirty minutes, and even with his strength, he’d only managed to make the smallest crack. I should’ve been beside him, helping, but I hadn’t been able to do a thing.“Take a break already,” Aries called out.Zane stopped, turning back to us. Sweat trickled down his chin, exhaustion plain on his face. He nodded and immediately made his way to Rose’s side with a weak smile, while I stayed rooted, staring at the shimmering space.I felt Aries step up beside me, silent at first, his gaze fixed forward like mine.You should give it another try, Ria’s voice pressed into my mind, steady and firm. You can do it, Rex. Then she faded out, leaving only the echo of her words.“What’s on your mind?” Aries finally asked, eyes still on the bar
