روايات وقصص ضمن The Rejected Luna's Prince By Aurora Archer

It never ended quietly. The distant howl of a wolf echoed outside. The maidens flinched, glancing toward the windows. “Go back,” Luna said. “Hide that oil. Forget this rebellion.” But they didn’t move. Instead, Mara reached out and brushed Luna’s wrist, her fingers trembling. “You should understand better than anyone. You wear his mark, but your eyes say you don’t belong to him.” Luna pulled away. “You don’t know what you see.” “Then tell us what you are,” Mara challenged. “Prisoner or queen?”

“I reject you!” The words didn’t echo, they ended me. “I, Ryan Hale, reject you, Becky Nightshade, as my mate and future Luna.” For a second, I honestly believed I had misheard him and I waited for the correction. The laugh, the signal that this was some cruel ritual test. It never came. The clearing fell silent, not shocked but watching. My wolf screamed inside my chest, not dramatic, not loud but shattered. “You’re rejecting me?” I asked.

He opened his mouth, and with a voice cold and unyielding, he said the words that would shatter her world forever: “I reject you, Aria Mooncrest.” The crowd gasped in shock. Whispers rippled like wildfire through the courtyard. Aria froze, her lungs seizing as though invisible hands had wrapped around her throat. The words echoed in her skull, breaking her heart with merciless precision. “I…” Her voice cracked, barely a whisper. “You… what?” Rion stepped forward, his tone sharp, meant for the entire pack to hear. “You are unworthy to be my Luna. Weak. Fragile. A disappointment to this pack.”

I clutched my chest, my fingers digging into the skin. I fell to my knees. The world spun. Black spots danced in my vision. "I reject you as my Luna," he continued, his voice relentless. Each sentence was another stab. "I reject you as a member of this pack." I gasped for air, but my lungs refused to work. I coughed, and something warm and metallic splashed onto the white snow. Blood. The rejection was so violent, so abrupt, that it was physically tearing me apart inside. "You are banished," Ashren finished. "You have until sunrise to leave these lands. If you are found within our borders after the sun crests the mountains, you will be hunted as a rogue."

"I am meeting with the pack elders later today. They know the truth. If Kael wants my money to run his new kingdom, he must secure our financial help by taking you as his wife and Luna. I promise you, my darling, Kael will marry you. You will wear the Luna’s crown next week. And that little human girl will be nothing but a servant washing your kitchen floors." Aurora’s annoyed face instantly lit up with joy. A wicked, cruel smile spread across her red lips. She hugged her father tightly around his neck, already imagining the look of sadness and despair on Seraphina's face when she became the supreme queen of the pack. Meanwhile, on the other side of the palace, the halls were bustling with a

Echo was two inches taller than Aurora as she glared down at her. "Why are you asking me to reject him? You can ask the love of your life to reject me. After all, he was going to marry you didn't he? He will surely listen to you... only if you are important to him." Aurora said smoothly. She didn't want to sound rude to her. "Who do you think you are?" Echo snickered. It was obvious she was drowning in rage. "Aurora Colt," Aurora answered simply. "You will not become the Luna of this pack. This is my pack. I will not let you take my place." Echo said adamantly. She was sounding kind of obsessed.

My soon-to-be former mate, the man I loved more than I even loved myself, spares me a single, chilling glance before turning to address his audience. "I have decided to reject Aurora and establish Nalani as Luna," he proclaims before one and all. "Furthermore, due to Aurora’s concealment of a significant secret that endangers the pack’s safety, I have decided to demote her to rogue and expel her from our lands forevermore.” The crowd gasps, scandalized by the reveal. Desperate, I lunge toward Evander, trying to get his attention. The guards don't care what I want though, and I'm quickly subdued.

Lance looked around the room, “As you all know, we are gathered here tonight to celebrate the return of our princess, my Gamma, the heroine of this pack, Aurora. She brought peace back to this world. I am so proud to call her my sister.” All guests raised their glasses and cried, “To Princess Aurora!” Aurora smiled and drank up the first glass of wine with everyone. Lance took a second glass of champagne from the servant and said, “On this happy occasion, I want to let you know that I have found the love of my life, Rivena. Ever Moon Pack is going to have a Luna! And our wedding is in two weeks.” People gasped. Their face lit up with excitement. “To Luna Rivena!” they shouted.
