MasukHe pressed our hands together, mixing our blood as he spoke the words that sealed my fate. “I, Alpha Kayden Maxwell of the Blood Moon pack, reject Leah James as my mate.” The words hit me like a punch to the chest, knocking the air from my lungs. The pain that followed was unbearable, like my soul was being torn in two. I gasped and clutched my chest as the bond between us snapped. “I… I, Leah James, accept your rejection.” Kayden turned away from me as if I was nothing more than a nuisance. “Now that that’s done, I have another announcement. Selena will be my mate. She has all the qualities of a future Luna.” The crowd erupted into cheers. Their approval for Selena was loud and clear. I watched as she stepped forward. She leaned into Kayden as if to mark her territory. The sight of them together made my stomach turn. ********************************* Leah’s world shatters when her fated mate, Alpha Kayden, rejects her for another.

Lihat lebih banyak_Leah’s POV_I woke up that morning with a strange feeling in my chest. It was not fear. It was not worry. It felt like I was forgetting something important but I could not remember what it was.Kayden was already awake. He was sitting on the edge of the bed. He was buttoning his shirt. When he noticed I was watching him, he smiled softly.“Good morning,” he said.“Good morning,” I replied. I was still studying him.He leaned down and kissed my forehead. His lips lingered a little longer than usual and I felt warmth spread through me.“You have meetings today?” I asked.“Yes. A few things to settle,” he answered but he did not look directly at me.Athena stirred inside me. He is hiding something.I frowned slightly. “You are acting strange.”“I am not,” he said quickly and that made me even more suspicious.“You are,” I insisted. “Your voice sounds tight.”He chuckled softly. “Maybe I am just tired.”“You do not get tired.”“I do when my Luna keeps me awake at night,” he teased.Heat
_Leah's POV_I never thought that I would be the jealous type. But I was wrong. It happened on a quiet afternoon. The sun was high. The pack house was calm. Reagan was outside playing with the other children. I was in the courtyard going over patrol reports when I felt it.There was a strange shift in the air.I noticed a scent which was sweet, floral and strong. It was not familiar. Athena stirred inside me. Someone new is here, she said softly.I looked up.A sleek black car rolled through the gates. The guards stepped aside quickly. Fred walked forward to greet whoever it was.A tall woman stepped out of the car.She was striking. Long dark hair flowed over her shoulders. Her posture was perfect. Her eyes were sharp and confident. She moved like someone who expected the world to make space for her.“Alpha Selene,” Fred greeted her.A female Alpha. So that explained the aura around her.I stood still as Kayden stepped out of the pack house. His presence was calm and commanding.
_Leah's POV_Seven years had passed since the day I stood in the Emerald pack hall and claimed my name.Seven years since two packs chose to stand together instead of apart. And that day, the courtyard was filled with laughter instead of whispers.It was Reagan’s fifth birthday.Green and silver banners hung proudly around the courtyard, moving gently in the breeze. Flowers were woven along the railings and wrapped around the wooden posts. Long tables were set with food and the scent of roasted meat and fresh bread filled the air. Children ran between the trees, laughing loudly as their voices carried through the open space.I stood near the center of it all and watched.I still did that sometimes.I watched and made sure everyone felt safe.“You are scanning the area again,” Athena said softly inside my mind.“I am not,” I replied.“You are,” she insisted. “But this time, you are not looking for danger. You are looking at what you built.”That made my chest warm.“Mommy!”Reagan’s vo
_Leah's POV_A few days after Kayden proposed, we stood in front of the Emerald Pack gates.My heart would not stay still.The gates were tall and made of dark wood and iron. The symbol of the Emerald Pack was carved into them; a wolf surrounded by vines and leaves. I had seen this symbol in dreams before I even knew what it meant.Now it stood in front of me.“This is it,” Kayden said quietly.I swallowed.“What if they don’t believe me?” I asked. “What if they think I’m lying?”Athena stirred inside me. They will feel it. Blood calls to blood.“I’m not sure that will be enough,” I whispered in my mind.Kayden turned to me. His eyes were calm but serious.“Leah,” he said softly, “if they try to send us away, you only need to show them your power.”I looked down at my hands.“Maybe they won’t accept me,” I said. “Maybe they won’t want the daughter of someone who disappeared.”Kayden stepped closer. He cupped my face gently.“I am with you,” he said. “No matter what happens, I am with
_Leah’s POV_Darkness wrapped around me like thick fog.For a few seconds, I didn’t know where I was. I didn’t know who I was. There was no sound, no light, only a deep heaviness pulling me down. My body felt numb as if I had sunk to the bottom of a cold lake."Leah...."The voice reached me faintl

_Leah's POV_I swallowed and began. The words felt rusty in my mouth, but once I started, they flowed like a broken river finding a path.“I was born to a princess,” I said. “My mother was a princess, of the Emerald Pack.
