Novel & Cerita The Rejected Luna's Awakening

The Moon Rejection Rite was set for three days later at the Moon Council altar on the border between Ironwood and Raven Hollow. The Council examiner, Alliance guards, and representatives from both packs were present. Because Cassian had continued refusing to accept the rejection, the Council classified the rite as a mandatory witnessed procedure.

Theo nodded in agreement. “Ciara Bear was forced to perform the rejection to Alpha Mars by Alpha Radar.” Benji continued to look through her laptop, pulling up more maps onto the TV. “If she rejected Mars, then the marriage alliance could continue on with Hazel and Ciara would be forced to stay in the Crystal Lake Pack.” “So, she is still our Luna?” Matt spoke up and I nodded. “I didn’t accept her rejection, nor will I ever accept it. She is the one true Luna, and no one will take her place.”

I shakily muttered as I attempted to stand. My father and Madison helped me up from the floor and sat me down in a chair. I tried catching my breath. It was as I glanced up that I saw Luna Charis staring at me, a knowing look in her eyes. “She’s calling out to you, Colter,” she said. “Aurelia…is calling to you?” “But she-I….a rejected bond can’t…can’t be reawakened…can it?” Luna Charis stared at me. “I don’t know, but the only thing that matters now…is that she is calling to you. Will you answer?”

I nodded slowly, tightening my grip on his hands, “do this for me. I know it's hard but you have t—” “I'm sorry, but I'm not going to accept his rejection.” Lisa's voice suddenly rang out, her eyes swirling with a thousand emotions. She sized me up, her eyes roaming my body, “Luna, why would you suggest such? You know how painful a rejection is. It could kill me.”

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.

"Your eyes are so bright." I felt the heat emanating from my face as I touched it. My body felt lighter, stronger, and more vibrant. "What am I experiencing?" My voice trembled as I asked. With a tone of wonder and terror, Kane declared, "You've awakened." "The Silver Luna's power... You now possess it. With my legs more stable than before, I stood up. My senses were keener; I could smell the damp dirt surrounding us, hear the distant trickle of water, and sense the hum of energy in the air.

They all leaned in, hungry for drama, hungry for blood. The girl continued, eyes bright. “The Luna. They said he rejected her last night. Formally. Completely. It is not just her being kicked out, no, it is her being completely rejected. First, he forbids her from shifting out in the open, then he chooses to reject her.” More gasps. More frantic whispers. “That explains everything.” “It’s because of Aria.” “She’s the reason.” “She’s the new Luna in all but name.” “Do you think he’ll mark her?”

"He's bleeding because of you." "He's lying!" I'm screaming now. I don't care. "I don't know why, but he's lying. Your mother is lying. Ask anyone who actually knows me—" "Enough." The word hits like a slap. Caden stands in front of me, taller than I remember, colder than I've ever seen him. The torches flicker behind him like even fire is scared to get too close. "The ceremony is void." He says it loud enough for everyone to hear. "I, Alpha Caden Ahearn, reject Selena Hayes as my mate and future Luna. From this moment, the bond is broken. She is nothing to me."

I knew just the right one to visit. Carla was sitting by her window when the I walked in. She had once been a Luna of another pack, but was rejected by her mate when he caught her in the arms of another. “What can I say – my mother was a whore, I’m no different,” she had said to me as she narrated her story, blowing out smoke from her mouth, a thin cigarette held In her hand.

This was the moment I had been waiting for him to show his true colors and for me to awaken Luna’s hidden powers. A smirk of satisfaction crossed my face as Levin launched himself at me. And this didn’t stop him. I caught his wrist mid-air but allowed his venomous nails to dig into my skin, knowing that this was the only way to unlock Luna’s dormant abilities. As Levin’s eyes widened in shock, I felt a burning pain shoot through my body, but I welcomed it as a necessary sacrifice for Luna’s awakening. “Andrew...” I heard Luna shutting my name as a loud groan escaped from me because pain and skin-shedding pain were now consuming me. I gritted my teeth; I should have felt the pain so hard that
