The Rejected Luna, The Hidden Heiress Novels & Stories

I felt how Talia stiffened beside me, trying to hold in her surfacing anger. Meena's voice came again. Swift. “You seem to forget that you're no longer the future Luna, isn't it?” She turned her back now, facing me directly. “You're that rejected mate. I think I should remember you.” The words hit hard. Entering deep into the right places. It still hurts even now. Even after everything. “I know exactly who I am, Meena, you're not in the place to tell me.” She laughed. That sarcastic laugh of hers. “Really? Do you? If that was supposed to be true, I trust you wouldn't keep acting like this pack still belongs to you.”

“And I will not beg nobles who refuse to support their own kingdom during crisis.” Bob’s smirk disappeared. “You misunderstand your position,” he said quietly, pointing fingers. I felt the way Paula glanced at me, like she was asking for permission to bounce on him. I stepped forward. “I understand it perfectly,” I replied. “I am the Luna. My duty is to protect this kingdom and its people, not to stroke the pride of men hiding behind coin and titles.” Bob laughed, holding his chest. “A Luna without an heir is no Luna at all,” he said coldly.

And the headline. “SECRETS OF THE GREEDY LUNA.” “Mrs Elena. The people's princess. The mate of Alpha Trent And the Luna of Crimson Hills Pack had been alleged to have embezzled twenty billion dollars from the company she and her mate owns. The money she allegedly embezzled has cost the living status of the people of our packs. People barely survive under the little merger they collect from the company. They have been ripped by the Luna, who was supposed to be their protector.”

The vision of Selene appeared once more, her expression softening. “You have faced the trial of the northern peaks,” the voice said. “You have proven your courage and your bond. But the true shadow remains… it lies within the heart of the first Luna’s sanctuary, beyond the mountains where the Moon never sets. There, you will confront what was hidden even from your ancestors.” Aria exhaled, her chest heaving. “Then that is where we go.” Kael nodded, sheathing his sword. “And we face it together. No hesitation, no fear. Whatever it is, it will not break us.”

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, 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."

"Marcus will transfer some money to your account. It'll be enough for you to live on for a while." He left without a backward glance. The sound of the engine faded into the distance. I stood in the empty study and pulled out my phone, dialing a number. "Elder Aldric, it's me, Carys." "I need to confirm the details of the rejection papers one more time." A deep, solemn voice answered on the other end. "Luna, the agreement has been signed by both parties and witnessed by the Moon Goddess. It is sacred and irrevocable. It will take effect automatically on the night of the full moon, in three days."

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.

"Luna, I finally see it now. You're so worked up about whatever happened between me and Andrew. Could it be you're scared that there's something between us, something you don't know about? "So that's why you're anxious, suspicious, even scared. You came all the way here to confront me because you're terrified there's more between me and Andrew than meets the eye. Am I right?" To Andrew's surprise, Luna stepped forward. She frowned and said, "You're absolutely right. Valerie, you're a noble lady from the powerful Chetvine family. You're the precious heiress of the Reyes family, adored by your father and the elites of Chetvine. But that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you.

I nearly cried out in frustration. “But I’m only stepping up to my responsibilities. You and I are expecting a child and that means you’re the mother of my heir and also my Luna. Right?” He asked with another sinister smile. “No… it doesn’t mean anything!” “No? This isn’t what you wanted? You don’t want to be Luna to the most powerful pack? To reign by my side and have access to more wealth than you could ever need in this lifetime. Isn’t that what you want?” “No, I don’t want it,”
