Novel & Cerita A Luna's Rejection

He sneers. “Rebel Lawson” I reply. I know the rejection is coming. I’ve heard rejection is rare but painful. With my lips trembling and tears that sting my eyes, I brace for the impact that is coming. “Let’s get this over with, I have things to do. Just so you understand, I need a strong and BEAUTIFUL Luna by my side. I, Alpha Cullen Niles, of the Ironclaw Pack, reject you, Rebel Lawson, as my mate and Luna.”

“We don’t hurt people who haven’t hurt us, especially those who are running away from something and need our help.” I look away, shame creeping up my throat. “You don’t have to tell me what happened,” he adds quickly. “But you don’t have to be afraid either.” I look back at him. His kindness is confusing. I don’t know how to trust it. “I was rejected.” The words burn my tongue. Elian tries his best not to look surprised, but I can see the cracks of sympathy and pity breaking across his face. “I was supposed to become Luna.” I scoff a sad chuckle. “But it turns out I'm not the Luna material for him. He rejected me in front of everyone, and the entire pack watched.”

“I will not be owned. Those who challenge me will answer to the Moon—not councils.” She turned and walked away. As she passed Kael, he whispered hoarsely, “I was wrong.” She didn’t slow. “I know.” And in that moment, Alpha Kael Nightfang realized the cruelest truth of all: The Luna he had rejected was no longer something he could win back. She was something he would have to earn— if she ever allowed it.

‘Issue is within our pack, not with pack members though’ Noah shoved his hands in his jean’s pocket and told to me with poker face. ‘Than with who? Can you guys tell me directly why you are making the straight faces and acting wierd?’ Ethan and Noah shared a look and then they eyed me, wow! ‘You rejected the Luna?’ my hands fisted. ‘How many times do I have to tell that I am not rejecting her, she is the Luna of Creek Star Pack’ I said with putting emphasis on every word. They remained stood un affected, I exhaled a tired breath and slump down on my chair, resting my forehead in my palms.

“I am still your wife and the Luna, Ashton. I have to be with you today and attend the annual pack event which takes place on your birthday with you.” This was the perfect opportunity to spite and make her furious. I decided to take it. My voice was calm. “I am going with him.” Lydia’s face widened in shock. “You are taking her as your Luna? I am your Luna not her!” I loved how worked up she was. “Enjoy your last days at the Luna of Crescent pack dear sister because it's not going to last. The council members are going to find you guilty and you will be exiled and humiliated in front of every member of the pack, just like I was.”

Yet, she still heard me. “Interested? I’m sorry Luna he forbade us to say this, but he actually went there to get her back. The only reason they didn’t want to be is that she rejected him. There are rumors she’s now involved with Alpha Darius. Hence, the cold attitude.” Natasha looked nervous as she scanned around to make sure there was no-one eavesdropping. “Thank you, Natasha, I'll make sure not to implicate you,” I placed on her shoulder in a re-assuring manner. She nodded in gratitude and she continued her training.

Mom nodded slowly beside him, and I went quiet for a few seconds. Then slowly…I sat up straighter. The hesitation disappeared from my chest almost instantly because, for the first time in a very long time, I knew exactly what I wanted. “First,” I said calmly. “I’m going to organize the official rejection before the High Council and publicly let everyone in Blood Moon know that I’m no longer their Luna.” “Oh…” Liam mouthed in surprise, and Ryker straightened slightly in his seat while Dad’s expression darkened thoughtfully. But I wasn’t done.

“That can be discussed.... it should be” “No,” Rowan interrupted smoothly. And then finally He said it. "I want her to be my Luna." The world seemed to stop. Every eye shifted. Every whisper died. Elsie felt it before she even moved. The weight of it. The shock. The lack of faith. Slowly....... His gaze met hers. And he held her there. Unwavering. Unapologetic. “If you refuse,” Rowan continued calmly, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade, “then there will be no agreement.”

Attending memorial services and alumni gatherings like ghost haunting his own life. Luna finally confronted him six months after Aria's death. "You're dying too," she said bluntly. "Not physically yet, but internally. Mom wouldn't want this. She'd want you living, not just surviving." "I don't know how to live without her." "Then learn. The same way she learned to live after rejection. The same way she learned everything else. Through trying and failing and trying again." "I'm seventy four years old. Too old to reinvent myself."

"I, Sera Ashford, accept your rejection, Alpha Lupus." More gasps erupted from the crowd. Shame and fury burned inside me, but I kept my posture perfect. The moment the words left my mouth, the bond snapped completely. Lupus's expression flickered for just a fraction of a second. Something like a flash of regret passed through his eyes, but it vanished before anyone else could see it. "Good," he said flatly. "Now get out. Angela and I will be announced as Alpha and Luna at the next full moon. Do not embarrass yourself by showing up."
