The Rejected Luna's Rise Novels & Stories

I felt my heart shrink as he secured his wrist firmly in the hand of Jessica. “But she isn't your destined mate," I replied through tears, my tone breaking. "I, Alpha Derek of the Blue Lake pack, reject you, Arabella Woods, as my Luna," he announced. His words cracked through the air like a death sentence. Pain exploded through me as it pierced through me like daggers. The pain was unbearable. “I accept your rejection," I declared, gritting my teeth, my breathing ragged as those words escaped my lips. I collapsed to my knees as the mate bond snapped into pieces.

Kate took a deep sigh, and revealed a huge smile on her face. “I’ve never seen a more worthy Luna…” she said as she respectfully tilted her head towards me. The other assistants followed her in suite and also tilted towards me. Initially, I gasped in awe at the overwhelming sense of expectation. However, my wolf continued to encourage me. “They chose you as their Luna. You can’t run away from it. It’s time to rise and claim what's rightfully yours.” She kept iterating till I silently nodded, to acknowledge their greetings and also to affirm myself.

I object weakly. “My pack needs a Luna. Although we are very strong, we’re still incomplete. I can’t think of anyone more fit to be Luna than the mother of my child” Klaus took my hand. “So what do you say?” “That’s a huge responsibility. I’m not sure I’m cut out for it.” “I’m sure you’ll do just fine, it won't be so hard. And I’ll be right by your side” Klaus promises. I swallow nervously. “Okay, but I’m not ready yet” It would take a while before I could get accustomed to the idea of being a Luna.

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 pity her. The elders will never accept her. Neither will the Moon Goddess.” A young delta working at the stove leaned closer, lowering her voice. “You saw the council last night. The way they stared at her? Like she's some outsider dragging him deeper into her rebellion. If Cain insists on making her his Luna, she'll bring more war than peace. She's not different from that chosen mate of his, Mandy.” Another voice joined, “A Luna who was publicly rejected? Who runs back to him after being shamed? She's weak. She'll never command respect.” They all laughed and clapped their hands together.

I still felt weak as I had no wolf to get healing. Taking a deep breath, I brought a smile to my lips and looked at Eric, “I Rayna Bennett reject you, Eric, Derek, and Cedric as my mates. I give up my position as the future Luna of the Black Stone Pack.” The moment I said it, the triplets held their chests and fell on their knees. “You…” Former Luna stepped forward, “You can’t initiate the rejection. The higher rank rejects the lower one. My sons were supposed to reject you first.”

Luna said, her voice steady despite her inner turmoil. "I have no intention of butting into your relationship or making things complicated between both of you. All I need is for you to talk to my father in case he gets upset about the rejection. You already know how he can be, so talking to him myself may not be the best idea. Once that's done, I'll handle the rest. We'll go through the rejection ceremony once he comes to terms with us not being meant for each other, and after it all, you and I can go back to being enemies," she explained. As much as her wolf was hurting, she also believed that she and Lucas were far too different to be together, and even though it hurt her pride that she wa

This only made me even more furious, and I slammed the desk, breaking it in half. My son's crying sounded like a drumbeat. "Get lost!" I snarled, and Jayden and Arlen hurried away, leaving me consumed by hopeless rage. The news isn't bad, but worse. She was the Luna of Shadow Crest, and I didn't accept her rejection when she left! For others, she's still my existing Luna! Now, her death means the dynamics will change! The council will raise a question. They will conduct an inquiry, and what if they find out the truth? Fuck!

I could feel the ground shifting beneath me, the inevitable creeping closer. They weren’t asking these questions to evaluate me. They were asking them to break me. And they were winning. Kian exhaled through his nose, slow, measured. Then, finally, he stood. “Aria of the human world,” he said, voice heavy, final. “By the decision of this council, you are hereby rejected by this pack.” For a moment time stood still. “You will not be our Luna.” Everything inside me went still. Rejected. Then Kian turned, looking straight at Luca.

“I will not be owned. Those who challenge me will answer to the Moon—not councils.” She turned and walked away. As she passed Kael, he whispered hoarsely, “I was wrong.” She didn’t slow. “I know.” And in that moment, Alpha Kael Nightfang realized the cruelest truth of all: The Luna he had rejected was no longer something he could win back. She was something he would have to earn— if she ever allowed it.
