Semua Bab I Rejected the Alpha Who Wore Another's Sigil: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"I am the exalted Luna of this pack, and my bond was a gift from the Moon Goddess. Tainted, it was worthless. I needed no one but myself."What did you say?!" A crystal vial whistled past my ear and shattered against the stone wall.Shards of glass and a month's worth of irreplaceable healing balm splattered across the floor.My son's half-shifted eyes burned with a golden rage. "How dare you say you're leaving him! I'm the one who should hate you! If anyone's leaving, it's me! I'm leaving you! The only one I respect is our pack's greatest Beta warrior, Aunt Valerie!"I hadn't noticed my son, Rory, standing in the doorway. The raw power of an Alpha pup radiated from him, strong enough to make the herb racks tremble violently.Right behind him stood Valerie, the pack's Beta.She was tall and statuesque, clad in combat leathers that hugged her powerful frame.The moment she saw me, her voice trembled with a practiced fragility. "Luna, please forgive me," she knelt, her face a mask of d

The healer on duty gasped, her eyes wide with horror when she saw the wound on my forehead."Luna, what happened to you? This gash is so deep.""Where is the Alpha? How could he let you come here for treatment alone?"I glanced down at the unanswered messages pulsing on my communication stone and said flatly, "I no longer have a mate."After my wound was treated, I contacted the Elders' Council, demanding they draft new Rejection documents and a formal transfer application.Once that was done, I made a call through my comm stone."Alpha Lucian. You once tried to recruit me as your pack's Head Healer. Does your offer still stand? I've reconsidered. I accept."Lucian was Wyatt's bitter rival.Ten years ago, when Wyatt's pack was still small and unknown, he had competed with Lucian for a crucial seat in the Healer's Alliance. In the end, it was my skill that won us the seat, allowing Wyatt's pack to grow and prosper.That day, Lucian had stopped me at the border, presenting me with a wag

"Faye…" His voice trembled. "You've… you've changed…""You forced me to." I turned and walked back the way I came, each step crushing the fallen leaves. "As of today, we are done."Behind me, I heard Valerie's weak cries and Rory's terrified sobs.I didn't look back.When the car started, the sound of the engine was jarring in the quiet forest. I took one last look at Aiden's tombstone, still dusted with debris from the explosion."Mommy is going to a new place, sweetheart," I whispered, my hand stroking the steering wheel. "Mommy is going to be fine, and no one will ever be able to hurt you again. You can rest easy."The SUV roared out of the birch forest, its tires crunching over the leaves. I slammed my foot on the accelerator, heading straight for the pack border.The sun dipped below the horizon, and its golden light glared off the windshield, making my eyes ache.But just before the border, a familiar figure jumped into the middle of the road.It was Rory.He clung to the car, bl

[Faye's POV]"Welcome to the Shadowmoon Pack, Faye."Upon arriving at Lucian's pack, I was immediately put in charge of the medical center. Lucian himself was there to greet me at the door. He hadn't aged a day, still possessing the same handsome features he'd had as a young Alpha, and stood even taller than Wyatt."It's been too long. You are as beautiful and powerful as ever. I've had a private stone house prepared for you. Take a look when you have time. If you don't like the decor, just let me know, and I'll have it redone."I looked around. This medical center was far more modern than the one in Wyatt's pack, with better equipment and a more extensive apothecary."Thank you for giving me this opportunity," I said, placing my medical bag on the main treatment table."No, you have given us the opportunity," Lucian smiled. "It is our honor to have the Northern Continent's finest healer join our pack."Lucian had already introduced me to the entire pack before my arrival. So when hi

"Faye! You can't be so cruel!" Wyatt's voice, laced with desperation and fury, carried across the border. "He's your son! How can you just stand there and watch him die?""As I said, I am no longer his mother."I turned to leave without another word."Wait!" Wyatt suddenly shouted. His desperate confession spilled out. "I was stalling! I never wanted to Reject you! I swear, Faye, I was just… having my fun. I was always going to come back to you. To our family.""Faye, stop this. Let's just put this behind us."I slowly turned to face the once-arrogant Alpha."It's too late, Wyatt," I said, my voice devoid of emotion. "The moment you chose Valerie, my path was clear."I pushed past Rory and started to walk away. When they tried to follow, my voice rang out, a cold warning. "Take one more step, and I will report you to the Council for harassment."Defeated, Wyatt stopped and led Rory away.Three days later, we stood in the Great Hall of the Alpha King's Council.
