All Chapters of Rejected Luna of The Cursed Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Aria’s POVI tried to wipe away the sweat on my face but the pain I was going through did not allow me. “Push…” the Valemont pack midwife called while slapping my lap.Another contraction ripped through me, stealing the air from my lungs. My fingers clenched the sheets so tightly my knuckles turned white. Sweat dampened my hairline despite the cool autumn breeze drifting through the open window.My God! Labor is this painful; no one told me. I had no one to tell me; I was an orphan with no records of who my parents were.I tried my best once more as I pushed harder; the midwife smiled at me. “I can see your baby’s head; just one more push, my Lady.”I am their lady and would soon become Luna; by law, a human wife who bears the Alpha’s heir earns the title of Luna. Oh how I needed that title.I gave one final push with my eyes shut and my mouth screaming. When I heard the cry of my baby, I opened my eyes and shut them almost immediately in relief."Congratulations, Milady, he is a boy

I do not want to be the one putting two and two together in case whatever this is is not the truth, I thought as I was walking down to where the pack was celebrating.No jumping to conclusions here, I said repeatedly, consoling myself as if that would reduce the weight pressing on my neck.There was a massive bonfire; some people were dancing, and some were just drinking alcohol, the celebration was in full swing. I was supposed to be the one celebrating the most, but celebrating eluded me in this moment.Pack mother Mira was the one carrying my baby; they would name him tonight and I needed to be there when they were naming him.She had come to me earlier in the day to see my baby; she’s one of those that I loved in this pack, she is kind and protective of every woman in the pack, werewolf or not. There’s something about her presence that makes me feel safe and heard.Helen was beside her, smiling gently as she adjusted my baby’s covering.I looked around; my husband was nowhere in s

Aria’s POVI stood still.This wasn’t what I was expecting. Guess I hadn’t read about the clan rule well. I thought this was going to happen at the Luna Presentation Ceremony, where I would be crowned Luna.I glanced at him. His eyes were on me, so I quickly looked away, shutting my eyes for that rejection.My heart pounded against my ribs.Every pair of eyes in the hall seemed fixed on us. The silence stretched so long that I could hear the crackling of the torches lining the walls.Was he hesitating?Had he changed his mind?Or was he simply looking for the right words to reject me?My fingers tightened around Leo’s tiny blanket.I prayed silently.Please don’t do this here.Not in front of everyone.I waited.Only that the rejection didn’t come.“As the law of the Valemont Pack states, this would be done on the night of the Luna Presentation Ceremony, so why are we going faster than the law states?”I heard what my husband said, and I know even the littlest person in the crowd knew

Three days.Kael had left only three days ago, but to me, it seemed like an eternity. The mansion wasn't home anymore. I was waiting to wake up each morning and everything would be back to how it should have been, but all I remembered was that Serena now shared the mansion with me.But she had never really crossed the line.And that was the worst part.She played her cards well.Too well.As long as someone was in the vicinity, she behaved like an angel. She inquired about my recovery. She gave compliments to Leo. She thanked me for "sharing my home with her."Anyone looking from outside could see the perfect guest in her.But I knew the other side of her.Yesterday, she had come to my room when I was feeding Leo. With a bright smile, she made me believe for a moment that she actually cared about him. But then she looked at me. "I've always wondered what Kael's son would look like. " With a gentle touch of her fingers, she caressed Leo's little cheek. "And I'm glad I know it now. Than

Kael’s POVI left the council house with one destination in mind.The east wing.Serena’s room.To tell her to stop coming to my matrimonial room. Aria had a point, she wasn’t supposed to be coming into our room.Even if the plan was still going as intended, Aria still deserved respect, she has been nothing but a good wife to me.When she opened the door and saw me, her lips raised into a beautiful smile.One thing I would give Serena credit for is the fact that she has a good smile, one that matches her face so well.“Come in,” she said, opening the door widely to allow me in.I came in, looked around, I couldn’t remember the last time I had been in this room, there was no need to be there.Looking at Serena now, it was hard to believe I’d spent the last two years avoiding moments like this.Not because I no longer cared, but because every conversation reminded me of the promise I was about to break.“Serena, you will need to stop coming into our bedroom, " I said immediately after
