The Rejected Luna's Reawakening Seraphina Novels & Stories

And that night marked the beginning of their secret affair. Zara had always been jealous of Seraphina’s relationship with Ethan. To her, it was perfect—something she had longed for but could never have as long as Seraphina was in the picture. But now, she had finally erased her sister from the equation. She glanced at Seraphina again, a slow, triumphant smile stretching across her lips. *I won. I have him at last. I became the Luna.* Seraphina met her gaze without a flicker of emotion. But deep inside, her resolve solidified. *Enjoy your day, sister. You will regret this for the rest of your life.*

Luna froze and listened intently. "Who is present?" Her voice cracked as she whispered. Quiet. The darkness grew deeper. Just outside the circle of torchlight, a little, hunched form moved in the corner. Luna gasped for air. Her hand automatically went for the closest instrument, an ancient scalpel with a nicked but still sharp blade. The way her father had taught her to chop herbs without cutting her skin, she kept it low. "Show yourself," she continued, her voice faltering but louder this time. "I hear you." The figure shifted. As the torch flickered, a face flashed, its eyes sunken yet full of fevered life, its cheeks hollow. Luna felt sick to her stomach. That face was familiar to her. I

She was the Luna of SableFur. Keegan’s Luna. It was one hundred percent worth it, and was all that mattered.

I ought to have introduced her a long time ago but I figured that they'd meet her when the time was right. Also, there was just too much going on. “So someone else would be Luna when she's gone?” I nodded. “Not just that. She has refused to give her recources for funding of the pack. That is not what a Luna is supposed to do. She is selfish, evil and wicked. I don't want to have anything to do with her again. So I plan to let her go. Later today, I'll be rejecting her at the hall for everyone to see. They will be spared of the details but they will know that she is not a good person.”

"I, Sera Ashford, accept your rejection, Alpha Lupus." More gasps erupted from the crowd. Shame and fury burned inside me, but I kept my posture perfect. The moment the words left my mouth, the bond snapped completely. Lupus's expression flickered for just a fraction of a second. Something like a flash of regret passed through his eyes, but it vanished before anyone else could see it. "Good," he said flatly. "Now get out. Angela and I will be announced as Alpha and Luna at the next full moon. Do not embarrass yourself by showing up."

“It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lea.” Her voice was soft, sweet, and very refined. I just nodded my head. Another elder spoke up, since the silence was stretching longer than normal. “Lady Seraphina will be the new Luna of this pack.” I blinked at him, wondering if I had just misheard. My eyes trailed back to the beautiful and noble-looking woman. She looked like the perfect candidate for that position. It was no wonder the elders had chosen her. I shrugged, and my lack of reaction seemed to catch them all by surprise. “Okay.”

If I did not know any better of how far Linda’s treachery had reached, I might have been worn down by her constant crying and acting that I might have let her go, just to get her off my back. Linda lifted her head off the wall and turned her back to me. Another childish tantrum. I ignored her and faced Seraphina. “It is in your best interest to talk. The sooner you speak, the easier your death is going to be.” Seraphina snarled at me and extended her claws. Before she could slit her wrist, her hand hovered in mid air, unable to come down. “I recall that you were given an order by my Luna,” I said.

I said quietly. The healers bowed their heads. “My lady,” Senra said gently, “there may be another way.” “What?” “A ritual cleansing,” she said. “It could be dangerous.” “Dangerous how?” “It requires someone bound to him.” My stomach dropped when she said that because I knew who it was. “His Luna,” she finished. The room went silent as Rafaello looked at me sharply. “No,” he said immediately. The healer continued, “The Luna’s energy can reach places ours cannot.”

Gasps rippled through the crowd. A few wolves whined lowly. I saw an older man shake his head, his face went pale. But no one spoke out. They were afraid of her, afraid of change, afraid of what happened to me. “She chose me,” Lysandra went on, her voice rose. “To replace Seraphine. To stand beside our Alpha. The Luna Ascension Ceremony will happen tonight under the full moon.” The pack shifted more. A young woman near me hugged her arms to her chest, her eyes widened. “But Seraphine,” she whispered to the man next to her.

“Who the fuck are you?” The woman smiled, beautiful and terrifying. “I am Seraphina, the First Luna. Sophie’s true mother, and the one your father murdered all those years ago.” Shit. “That’s impossible. My mother..” “Was my vessel,” Seraphina said calmly. “Just as you will be mine. The child growing in your womb carries my rebirth. And your stepbrother..” Her eyes looked at Damon’s naked, powerful body from head to toe and there was no mistakening the hunger in her eyes. “He will make an excellent sacrifice to fuel the resurrection.”
