All Chapters of The Rejected Luna's Arcane Vengeance : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

(Sierra's POV)The rain was relentless. It slammed against the thin glass of our small cabin window, rattling the wooden frame like a threatening hand.I sat on the edge of my narrow bed, clutching my knees to my chest. Every breath felt like swallowed glass. The rejection mark on my collarbone burned hot and angry, pulsing in time with my hammering heartbeat."Here, drink this," Liana whispered.She pressed a chipped mug of warm water into my hands. Her fingers were trembling, but her eyes held a steady, fierce light. Liana was only sixteen, two years younger than me, but tonight she looked like the only grounded thing in my world."I can't, Liana," I choked out, my voice raw. "It hurts too much.""You have to," she insisted softly, sitting down beside me and placing her hand over mine.A gentle warmth seeped from her palm into my skin. It was faint—just a small trick of her minor gift—but it helped dull the jagged edges of the emotional pain tearing through me. Liana didn't have a c

(Sierra's POV)"L-Luna?" Beta Brandon stuttered, his face draining of all color.He looked back and forth between Cassian and me like he had just seen a ghost."Alpha Cassian, you must be mistaken!" Brandon spat, taking a nervous step back. "She's a scentless omega! Alpha Logan rejected her less than two hours ago. She’s damaged goods, an exile!"A sharp, dangerous aura rippled through the clearing. The temperature seemed to drop instantly.Before Brandon could finish his sentence, Cassian moved.He didn't even shift into his wolf. He simply blurred forward with terrifying speed.In a split second, Cassian’s large hand was clamped tightly around Brandon’s throat. He lifted the heavy Beta two feet off the ground with one arm.Brandon’s legs kicked frantically in the air as he clawed at Cassian’s iron grip. His eyes bulged with sudden horror.Behind him, the two Bloodmoon guards backed away. They were trembling so violently they dropped their spears into the mud."I do not care what Log

(Sierra's POV)"A rogue witch?" I echoed, my chest tightening as the heavy words hung in the warm air of the bedchamber. "They're framing me as a dark magic user?""Logan is smart—far smarter than he lets on when he's playing the arrogant Alpha," Eli said darkly. He stepped further into the room, his boots making quiet thuds against the polished hardwood as he paced near the roaring stone hearth. "The Lycan High Council doesn't interfere in internal pack rejections, mate disputes, or domestic exile. They consider those private pack matters. But unregistered dark magic and rogue witches? That falls under direct continental jurisdiction. If the Council believes you're an unstable, dark magic threat, every pack on this continent is legally obligated to hunt you down, execute you, or surrender you to the Council enforcers."Panic surged through my veins, hot and sharp. My pulse hammered in my ears like a frantic drumbeat, and my mind raced through every terrible possibility. I pictured si

(Sierra's POV)The cold midnight rain was falling in sheets, hissing as it hit the massive torches lining the perimeter of the Midnight Citadel's grand stone courtyard. The air crackled with palpable tension. On one side stood the dark, disciplined ranks of the Midnight Syndicate vanguard, their armor gleaming with silver trim under the wet torchlight. On the other stood Mediator Corvin in his pristine, gold-embroidered robes of the Lycan High Council, flanked by twelve elite Council enforcers and a sneering Beta Brandon at the head of twenty Bloodmoon shock troops.Liana and I descended the grand marble stairs just behind Cassian and Eli, our boots splashing softly against the stone.Beside me, Liana walked with a quiet, graceful composure that I envied with every fiber of my being. Her empathic magic was an old friend to her—a gentle, woven thread she had learned to control and master since she was a little girl. Even now, amidst the suffocating tension, she chann

(Sierra's POV)The courtyard emptied quickly once Mediator Corvin and the Bloodmoon guards rode back into the night. But the quiet that followed felt heavier than the storm.Back in the Citadel’s war room, Eli threw a heavy iron practice sword onto the oak table with a loud clang. "Nullification stones," he muttered, pacing back and forth. "It’s a trap, Cassian. Logan knows he can’t beat your Alpha form. He knows your wolf would rip him apart in seconds. So he’s using Council law to strip away your speed, your strength, and your healing.""I have two arms, a blade, and twenty years of combat training," Cassian said calmly, pouring himself a cup of water. His voice didn't carry a hint of panic. "I don't need my wolf to kill a coward.""He’s not just a coward, he’s dirty," Eli pressed, stopping near the hearth. "Logan’s spent months practicing cold-steel dueling with mercenary captains. Without your Alpha reflexes, one bad cut could bleed you out before you even l
