Pride In The Pews

Seven times, I bonded with the same Alpha. And seven times, he tore our bond apart for his childhood flame. The first time, he swore it under the moon. “Astrid, my Luna. From this day forward, my heart and my wolf are yours alone.” But the moment his precious Liana returned, his promises turned to ash. “Can’t you just be patient? You’re making her uncomfortable, making it look like she’s seducing a mated male.” The first time he rejected me, the searing pain of the bond breaking nearly killed my wolf. They sent me to the pack healers, but he never came. Not once. The third time, I swallowed my pride as an Alpha’s daughter. I joined his pack as a nobody, just to be near his scent. By the sixth time, I knew the drill. I packed my bags and walked out of our penthouse without a word. My breakdowns. My compromises. My surrender. All I got for my pain were his clockwork apologies and the same betrayal. Over and over again. Until now. The moment I heard Liana was coming back, I handed him the papers to sever our bond myself. He just set a date for our next bonding ceremony, as if nothing had happened. He has no idea. This time, I’m not just breaking the bond. I’m shattering the heart that beat for him seven times, only to be crushed by his own hands, seven times.

On the night she was meant to become Luna, Althea was publicly rejected by her fated mate. Cast aside by Alpha Lucien and exiled from the only pack she had ever known, she was left broken, humiliated, and marked as unwanted. But rejection did not destroy her. It awakened her. Taken in by the rival Nightfall Pack, Althea begins rebuilding herself in silence—training harder, growing stronger, refusing to let betrayal define her. Yet strange things begin to happen. Ancient wards react to her presence. A forgotten moonstone pulses beneath the keep. And when she sleeps, she hears whispers… thoughts that do not belong to her. Althea can read minds. What she doesn’t know is that her bloodline was erased centuries ago—wiped from history after a royal betrayal that shattered the balance of the werewolf world. The Moon Goddess has not forgotten. And now, the scales are shifting. As her hidden power awakens, so does something else. The broken mate bond she thought was dead begins to stir. Lucien feels it. Across territories and pride, he senses her transformation—and regret begins to consume him. The girl he cast aside is no longer weak. She is becoming dangerous. But Althea is no one’s pawn. Not fate’s. Not the Goddess’s. And certainly not the Alpha who rejected her. With rival packs watching, ancient secrets resurfacing, and two powerful Alphas drawn to her rising strength, Althea must decide who she will become: The rejected Luna… Or the royal wolf the world tried to erase.

Five years after being publicly rejected by her fated mate, a rankless Omega returns with a secret: she is carrying the last of an ancient royal bloodline, and her daughter is the Alpha’s only heir. ​Summary: Elena Thorne was a nobody. A rankless Omega in the powerful Blackwood Pack, she was the last person anyone expected to be the fated mate of the cold and ruthless Alpha Xander.

But when Maya falls ill with a mysterious Shifter Fever that only a Pack healer can cure, Elena is forced to return to the man who broke her. ​Xander has spent five years hardening his heart, but the moment Elena crosses his border, the bond roars back to life. When he discovers the child is his, his possessiveness takes over. But there is a twist: Maya isn't just a wolf. She is a Silver Hybrid—a bloodline thought to be extinct, carrying power that could topple the entire Werewolf hierarchy. ​Xander claims his daughter but refuses to forgive the mother. He sentences Elena to live as a servant in his house, watching her every move while he prepares for a political marriage to the high-ranking Katerina. But as ancient enemies come for the child’s power, Xander must choose: Will he uphold the rejection that protects his pride, or will he crawl through fire to reclaim the mate he never should have let go?
