All Chapters of The Rejected Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Good evening, Alpha,” the healer greeted, hurrying to assist Kane in laying Gavin on the wooden bed.“Treat him. I want him at tonight’s festival,” Kane ordered, his voice low but leaving no room for argument.“Yes, Alpha.” She moved quickly, her hands busy crushing herbs, tossing some into the steaming water on the stove. The sharp, earthy scent filled the room. Kane’s eyes never left her, and Gavin, though too weak to move, watched every detail with a quiet intensity.When the mixture was ready, the healer helped Gavin sit up and pressed a cup to his lips. He drank, only to scowl.“Is there no sweeter drug?” he muttered.The healer shook her head nervously. “No, Alpha. Remedies for wounds like this are never sweet.”Kane said nothing, but his gaze remained fixed on her, so sharp it made her hands tremble. She eased Gavin back onto the bed.“He’ll be fine soon. His injuries aren’t serious,” she reported.Kane turned to Gavin. “How are you feeling?”“I’m good, man. Thanks,” Gavin ans

Heads whipped around, murmurs rippling through the hall as Maya’s eyes landed on a familiar face. Her lips parted in shock, a faint gasp escaping before she could stop it.“Zara?” she breathed, her heart hammering in her chest.Kane’s dark gaze snapped toward the intruder, his voice like thunder as it echoed across the room. “And who are you to tell me what to do?” His growl reverberated, shaking even the air.Zara swallowed hard, her hands trembling at her sides. “I–I’m sorry, Alpha. I didn’t mean it that way,” she stammered, her voice small but steady enough to carry. “She’s my sister, and… she doesn’t know how to cook. I only wanted to help.”Kane’s eyes narrowed, his lips curling like he was about to unleash his wrath—when Camilla’s cold, commanding voice sliced through the silence first.“Are you from this pack?” she asked, her tone sharp, her stare unyielding.Zara hesitated for a beat, then shook her head. “No, Lady Camilla.”Camilla leaned back slightly, her lips twisting into

The trio returned from the hunt, their catch dangling in their hands. Camilla separated from the men, heading straight for the kitchen with two rodents clasped firmly in her grip, one of which she intended to give to Maya.Inside, the younger maids were busy preparing the evening meal. Camilla’s sharp gaze swept over them.“Where is the head maid?” she asked, her brow arching with suspicion.“She went to her suite earlier, my lady. We haven’t seen her since,” one of the girls answered timidly.Camilla frowned, turning on her heels and leaving with the rodent still in hand. What could be wrong? Is she sick?When she reached the quarters, she found only Jenna sprawled across the bed.“Where is Maya?” Camilla demanded.Jenna scrambled upright. “My lady, good evening. I didn’t meet her here. I thought she might be with you.”A prickling sense of dread stabbed through Camilla’s chest. Her throat tightened. Without another word, she rushed out, her steps quickening with each passing second.

Maya woke up to the sound of voices downstairs. She had been living with Mrs. Katerina for two weeks now, and every morning brought the same routine. Mrs. Katerina would greet her with a warm smile and fresh clothes, while Aiden would glare at her like she was some unwanted pest that had invaded his perfect life.She stretched and got out of bed, running her fingers through her tangled hair. The pink room had become her sanctuary, the only place where she felt truly safe from Aiden’s cold stares and harsh words. Mrs. Katerina had bought her new clothes, but Maya still preferred the simple dresses that reminded her of home.Downstairs, she could hear Mrs. Katerina humming while preparing breakfast. The smell of pancakes drifted up to her room, making her stomach growl. At least the food here was good, even if it was different from what she was used to back at the pack.Maya made her way downstairs, trying to step quietly on the marble floors. She had learned that Aiden was always grump

Maya stood outside the college building and felt her stomach twist into knots as students walked past her through the front doors. The building looked huge and intimidating with its red brick walls and countless windows that seemed to stare down at her. She pulled at her backpack straps and tried to calm the wolf inside her head that kept telling her to run back to the forest where things made sense.“Listen to me carefully,” Aiden said as he walked up beside her but kept his distance so other students wouldn’t think they came together. His voice was low and serious as he looked straight ahead instead of at her. “When we get inside you don’t know me and I don’t know you. We’re not family and we’re not friends and you better not embarrass me in there.”Maya turned to look at him but he was already walking toward the entrance and she had to hurry to keep up without looking like she was following him. Her silver hair caught the morning sunlight and she noticed how other students turned t
