Novel & Cerita Longing For My Rejected 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.”

That pathetic Omega was now nestled in my fated mate's arms, the fresh, bloody mark on her neck still weeping. "Damon, are you insane?" My voice trembled. He turned to me, his eyes empty of guilt. "If you want to be my Luna, this is my condition." Gasps erupted from the pack. To mark another she-wolf before a mating ceremony was the ultimate insult to the Moon Goddess. But I knew worse was coming. Memories of my past life flooded back to me. On this very day, I had screamed my refusal at Damon. Bowing to the Goddess's law and the Elders' pressure, he banished Lyla.

“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.

“You’ve never done anything personal for me or treated me with love but I’ve seen the way you treat Lily. You value her and her pup over me. What am I to you? “You’re my Luna”, he replied in such a calm manner that made me feel with rage. “I don’t want to be your Luna anymore Alpha Damian Zeus, I beg you in the name of the moon goddess to reject me and set me free from this unending emotional turmoil,” I replied crying. I rushed and placed the rejection notice in his hands. “You don’t have to say the words if you don’t want to, just stamp this notice with your blood and the mate bond will be broken. I already stamped it with mine”. I said amidst tears.

“You have no clue, do you? Do you think I would choose you to be my Luna willingly? A wolf-less Luna at that? I’m stuck with you because my father owed your dead father a debt of gratitude, I’m the subject of gossip because of you. I’m tolerating you because I have to. So go downstairs, smile like the sun is shining from your ass and entertain our guests while I finish business here” “No” I stand up for myself. I bite down all the things he has said to me and the words I want to say lie heavy on my tongue. ‘I, River Brown, reject you…’ “No?” Landon laughs, “Why? Because your feelings are hurt? Wake up to the real world, sweetheart. I’m the only one willing to take you in. If I reject you, if

Cameron muttered. "What did you say?" Luna asked, her eyes wide. "She is MY mate!" Cameron shouted, turning on Luna with a feral snarl. "The Moon Goddess chose her for me! The rejection... it was a mistake. I didn't have all the facts! A bond like that doesn't just disappear because of a few words." "Cameron, you're crazy!" Luna cried. "She rejected you back! She snapped the link! It’s over!"

Cherry My mind kept cycling over her words, trying to make sense of her rejection, but everything within me kept returning to her heated kiss and the humming satisfaction I sensed from her wolf. I couldn’t fathom what had just happened. Why had she rejected me again? My weary gaze fell upon the bar that had been set up out here on the balcony. Clearly, for celebratory drinks after my ascension ceremony, but it was a commiseration drink I needed now—a long one. I strode over to the table, picked up a bottle of red wine, and a sense of Deja-vu rippled over me. I thought of how familiar this chain of events seemed. Why did it feel as if my Luna was determined to destroy me when all I wanted to

I stared at King Leonidas unable to decipher the emotions coursing through me all at once. Disappointment seemed to be the strongest. And even though I shouldn’t have hoped. I thought the truth would change things but I was right. This wasn’t about wanting a mate. It was me. I couldn’t be accepted. Not by Caleb and certainly not by him. And if the fates were cruel enough to give me another mate, I’m sure it’d be the same cruel rejection.

"The Moon Goddess was kind enough to bless me with a new mate after you rejected me. It just goes to show how much of a wicked mate you are. We can never go back to the way we were, Noah." I took a step closer to his kneeling form, leaning forward until we were almost touching noses. "Now, I want you to read my lips very, very carefully, because I am not going to repeat myself. I, Astra, Luna of the Moon Stone Pack, reject you as my mate. I reject you, Noah." Immediately I repeated those words, Noah gasped and staggered backwards, clutching his chest. It was as though my rejection had affected him physically, as though it was a literal punch to his fragile heart.

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."
