Chasing My Rejected Luna Novels & Stories

She raised her hand to hit him but was surprised as he held her hand and pushed her backward with his other hand. She had hit her back against the wall while she prevented her head from doing the same, the stern note in Alex's voice meant nothing to her, she thought to herself while she stood up. "Take her to the darkroom". She heard Alex instruct the guards. "You won't dare, I remain the Luna and there's nothing you can do about that". She shouted at the top of her voice. "I'm sorry Catherine, but not anymore". She wasn't sure if she had heard a chuckle in his voice but it sounded like he was happy with the decision he had made.

‘This meeting shouldn’t even be taking place when he is as edgy as he is now. Beta Storm quietened then sighed irked and threw back his head observing the ceiling, ‘It would be the same ten weeks from now. Maybe not the Blood moon influence but all the same unless if…’ If their Luna comes in the picture. Gamma Adam pursed his lips and shook his head. Even the thought of a Luna was just a nuisance to them now. They had all hoped and heaved every time their hope has relinquished. She was just so a wistful thinking. Some even believed she was dead long ago while other preferred believing it was nature’s way of preserving and balancing power by keeping the strongest predator consort-less so the

He was hesitant to speak, but said it anyway. "A former Luna?" My question came out unprecedented, I had meant to ask in my head. What the hell? A former Luna? My mate was… "Yes, more like a disgraced Luna. She was recently publicly rejected by her mate, the alpha of the Tokenmoon pack on the basis of infidelity. Finding out about her was difficult. From my sources, the last they heard of her was at an auction in a high end brothel. Her ex husband sold her to them as punishment for her infidelity."

“Probably, moreover just like you said… there is a first time for everything.” Silence stretched between us and he moved to stand beside me before asking, “So what are you planning to do?” I frowned, “What do you mean?” “If a Luna rejects a mate bond, “it’s seen as defying the goddess herself.” My stomach tightened at the thought, “I know.” “A wolf who rejects their mate cannot remain in the pack.” He continued, reading me rules like I was a pup, “They’d be exiled.” His words hung heavily in the air.

Luna, young and frightened, her silver eyes wide as he laughed at her. Luna, bleeding in the snow, her blood shimmering with impossible light. Luna, returned from the dead, standing before him as someone he didn't recognize. Luna, walking away, always walking away, her silver hair catching the light. The pain of rejection, sharp and fresh despite the months, collided with every regret he had ever buried. They burned hotter than any wound, consuming him from within. From the edge of the cliff path, the pack watched.

And no matter how hard I worked, no matter how quietly I endured, Lunaris was reminding me of a brutal truth— I could never outrun the story others wanted to tell about me. ---

She laughed as she leaned in again and whispered to my ears. “He just keeping you for now, when the real Luna comes, he'll dispose you.” I felt my chest tighten at her words, “the moon goddess chose me!!” She laughed louder now, “you are nothing but a prawn and a replacement.” She paused and then continued, “when he sees his true mate, he'll leave you..” I staggered backwards. Could this be the reason Kaius has refused to mark me?! Am I a replacement 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.”

When I walked out of his chambers, the guards in the hallway refused to meet my eyes; they had heard, or they had guessed, and their silence was its own kind of cruelty. I found Lila waiting for me at the edge of the celebration grounds, her face pale and her eyes red from crying. "I heard," she said, pulling me into a hug so tight I could barely breathe. "The whole pack is talking about it. He announced the rejection to his Beta before you even woke up. Everyone knows, Rya." "Of course he did." I pulled back, and I was surprised to find that I had no tears left. "He wanted to make sure everyone knows I am nothing, that I'm not good enough to be their Luna."

She reached an abandoned storage room and pushed the door open. Waiting inside was the servant with the Crimson Fang tattoo. "Report." "The commander has engaged Rowan." Jessica nodded. "And the Luna?" "Escaping with the Beta." Jessica's smile faded. "That won't do." She reached beneath her cloak and removed a small crystal vial. Unlike the poison before, this liquid shimmered silver. "What is that?" the servant asked. Jessica smiled. "Moonbane." "One drop weakens a werewolf." "Three drops prevent shifting." She looked toward the palace windows.
