All Chapters of Rejected for a Fake Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Rhea’s POVMy head snapped to the side when Luna Lynette’s hand struck my left cheek, the sharp sound of the slap cutting through the infirmary before the sting even fully registered. For a moment, I could only stand there, stunned and unmoving, while loose strands of my hair fell across my face as if they could somehow hide the humiliation burning hotter than the pain.The impact spread across my skin, but I refused to give her the satisfaction of seeing me break. I only tightened my fists at my sides until my nails dug into my palms, the fresh pain grounding me enough to keep my voice from trembling.“Have you lost your mind?!” Luna Lynette screamed, her face red with anger. “The warriors told me what happened. How could you do something like this to your own sister?”My chest tightened painfully because I had come here to check on Brielle. After everything that had happened, after every wound she had unknowingly carved into me, I still cared about her enough to make sure she was s

Rhea’s POVMy stomach growled, pulling me out of the haze of reports, signatures, and unfinished work that I have. I leaned back on my chair and finally set my pen down, the first rest that I had for the day. When I finally noticed the time, my brows furrowed at how much it had passed. It felt like the lunch bell had rung just ten minutes ago, but it turns out it had rung more than half an hour ago. With all the time I had spent, the documents on my desk still wasn't reduced to half. There were enough papers left to keep me occupied until evening or maybe longer. A sigh escaped my lips. There was no chance of finishing all of it today.I glanced around the office and found it completely empty. Every desk had already been abandoned, their occupants long gone to have their lunch. Being the Commander came with endless responsibilities. My time was never truly my own. There was always a report waiting to be reviewed, a problem waiting to be solved or a warrior who needed my attention

Rhea’s POVThe Pack military had been busy for days.Ever since the first allied delegations began arriving for Artavius and Brielle’s mating ceremony, the camp had barely known a moment of silence.With Alphas and Lunas from different Packs staying within our territory, I had doubled our border patrols and stationed scouts throughout the surrounding forests to watch for rogue activity. Escort teams were rotated almost constantly, protecting our guests from the moment they crossed into Valcrest territory until they safely reached the Pack.The work never seemed to end.I sifted through the reports spread across my desk. Every invited Pack was listed here, along with their estimated arrival times, travel routes, and assigned escort teams.Two delegations were expected today one from Drakhar Pack and the other is from Pack Celestia.My gaze lingered on the map.The Drakhar Pack would enter from the north, while Pack Celestia would arrive from the west. The two routes were separated by m

Rhea's POV“Can you stand?” The stranger who saved my life, asked.His voice was calm.Too calm.As though he had not just cut down a fully shifted rogue in front of me.As though we were not surrounded by death.My pride flared despite the pain tearing through my body.I forced myself onto one knee, then to my feet.“I can fight.”For a brief moment, his gaze held mine.Something flickered in his eyes.Not pity.Not doubt.Just admiration and respect. “I know you can,” he said quietly before turning back toward the battlefield.My eyes instinctively followed his gaze, and only then did I realize the extent of the destruction around us. Rogues lay scattered across the forest floor, some already lifeless while others writhed in agony. Although every one of them had fallen by my hand, I had been so consumed by the fight that I hadn’t realized just how many I had taken down. Even so, there were still more emerging from between the trees, their growls echoing through the forest as they

Rhea's POVI glanced at Leomar.He was the only one I had informed about the ambush. I had ordered him to bring warriors to assist me, not to bring Artavius into this.Before I could question him, Alpha Koen stepped forward.“Alpha Artavius,” he greeted calmly, his voice steady despite the tension thickening between them. “It is an honor to meet you. I am Koen, Alpha of the Celestia Pack.”Artavius stilled.His gaze moved from Alpha Koen’s face to the wrist I had just been holding, then back again.“What happened?” he asked, his voice low.“The Drakhar Pack’s delegation was ambushed,” I answered. “I lured the rogues away from the carriage to protect them. Luckily, Alpha Koen arrived in time and saved my life.”“A rogue ambush?” Artavius’s brows drew together. “How could this happen?”My jaw tightened.“It was Brielle’s fault,” I said at last. “She sabotaged the escort plan and nearly cost everyone their lives.”Artavius frowned, disbelief immediately crossing his face. “What do you me
