The Contracted Luna

"I, Logan Carter, Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, reject you, Emma Parker of the Crescent Moon Pack." I could feel my heart breaking. Leon was howling inside me, and I could feel his pain. She was looking right at me, and I could see the pain in her eyes, but she refused to show it. Most wolves fall to their knees from pain. I wanted to fall to my knees and claw at my chest. But she didn’t. She was standing there with her head held high. She took a deep breath and closed her wonderful eyes. "I, Emma Parker of the Crescent Moon Pack, accept your rejection." When Emma turns 18, she is surprised that her mate is the Alpha of her pack. But her happiness about finding her mate didn't last long. Her mate rejected her for a stronger she-wolf. That she-wolf hates Emma and wants to get rid of her, but that isn't the only thing Emma has to deal with. Emma finds out that she is not an ordinary wolf and that there are people who want to use her. They are dangerous. They will do everything to get what they want. What will Emma do? Will her mate regret rejecting her? Will her mate save her from the people around them? This book combines Book One and Book Two in the series. Book Two starts after chapter 96!

“You’re asking me to marry you?” I stared at the cold, unreadable man before me, disbelief curling in my chest—yet something far more dangerous was already slipping through my veins. “Yes.” The single word landed like a verdict. “Marry me, Attorney.” “Y-you don’t even know me…” His gaze didn’t waver. Not even for a second. “I know enough.” His voice dropped, quiet but absolute. “We both want the same thing… revenge.” _____ Eloise didn’t break the day her husband betrayed her. She broke slowly—over the years. And by the time she walked away, there was nothing left to salvage. Except dignity. And a heart that had learned—too late—not to beg for love. She thought that was the end of it. Until the night a man stepped into her life and changed the direction of everything… Nikolai Argos. Cold. Unyielding. A presence that carried authority without ever needing to raise his voice. And when he looked at her, it was as though his world had narrowed. What he offered her was a choice… One that came with consequences neither of them could escape. Because Argos wasn’t just powerful—He was tied to the very past Eloise had fought to leave behind. And stepping toward him meant stepping back into everything she had sworn to forget. But this time…Eloise wasn’t the same woman. Yet somewhere between resistance and inevitability, between control and something far more dangerous—she realized one lethal truth: Nikolai Argos is the most dangerous case she had ever laid her hands on. _______ A tale of quiet strength, hidden mysteries, buried wounds, and a love that doesn’t arrive gently— Because sometimes, the most dangerous man isn’t the one who breaks you… But the one who sees you clearly—and doesn’t walk away.

“We didn’t say a word before we both crashed into each other’s arms and started making out. I jumped on him, and he grabbed me.

I was the future Luna, chosen and arranged by the current Alpha to be the mate of his son, Kelvin. But Kelvin—the heir to the pack—was unlike any other wolf. He had been blessed by the Moon Goddess with two mates. On the night of the full moon, he was confessed to by Amanda, the daughter of the Alpha from the Shadow Pack. Unlike the traditional, quiet, and graceful she-wolves from our own pack, Amanda enjoyed riding horses, hunting rabbits, shooting arrows, and drinking like a soldier. These wild traits deeply attracted Kelvin. But despite his obvious interest, Kelvin said, "Amanda is not quiet or considerate. With such a bold personality, she could never become the Luna of this pack." Even though he claimed to dislike her high-profile behavior, his eyes never left her when she was hunting in the forest. On his birthday, everything remained uncertain—until he declared that he would bond with Amanda and make her his second mate. However, Amanda rejected him outright, saying, "There's no tradition in our pack where the Alpha's daughter becomes a second mate. We can only be Lunas, and we deserve to be the only ones loved by our mates." Hearing this, Kelvin turned to me and said awkwardly, "Jenny, Luna is just a title. Could you give this title to Amanda? She's still young and doesn't understand our pack's rules. You're both my mates, and there's no difference between you. But since there can only be one Luna in the pack, let her have the title. You'll still be my true Luna—the one who actually handles all affairs of the pack." His words made my heart tremble. Tears welled up in my eyes. And at that moment, the moonstone ring he had given me as a symbol of our mate bond slipped off my finger, hit the floor, and shattered into pieces. Seeing that, I knew—our bond was severed. For good. But when he cried and howled, begging for his true Luna to come back... I was already gone, vanished from the pack entirely.
