Bow to the Rejected Luna

I am a onceinacentury wolf. A born Luna,blessed by the Moon Goddess herself. But my fated mate,Kyle,was obsessed with Lila—a lowly Omega maid.

He resented me because the Goddess chose me. Not her. The day of our mating ceremony,Lila stood there,sobbing.

Then right in front of the entire pack,Kyle shoved the sacred chalice off the altar. "Lila is carrying my pup!She’s my only Luna!" "This mating was forced by my mother." "Know your place,and you can stay as a maid." I scoffed,turning to face the pack below. "Fine.If this is how it is,I hereby reject my mating bond with Kyle!" "Wolves of the pack!

Whoever wants to claim me today,I,Seraphina,will leave with you right now!" ... The great hall went dead silent. Then,the whispers started.

Spreading through the crowd like wildfire. Everyone knew what I was. A onceinacentury wolf. A born Luna. Whoever claimed me would become the next Alpha King.

Rejecting the bond?For an Omega maid? Kyle had lost his damn mind. I could see a few Alphas in the crowd,their eyes already glowing. Kyle saw it too.

His wolf bristled with rage. "You have a lot of nerve,Seraphina! Your name is already carved into my family's sacred stone!" "I may not want you,but no one else gets you either!

Any wolf who takes you is openly declaring war on my bloodline. That's treason against the entire pack!" Treason. The threat hung heavy in the air.

The great hall went dead silent again. Those Alphas who looked so eager a second ago? I watched them lower their heads. No one dared. Not a single one.

Kyle smirked,looking down at me with pure arrogance. "See that,Seraphina?" "You can either die alone,or get thrown into the wasteland to feed the beasts.

Take your pick." He was so sure I wouldn't dare fight back. But he forgot one crucial detail. He wasn't the absolute ruler of this pack.

While I stood there in silence,Ella—Kyle's mother—rushed in.

She marched straight up and slapped Lila hard across the face. "You little tramp!How dare you seduce my son at his own mating ceremony!" "Guards!Drag this piece of trash out of here!

Deal with her according to pack law!" Lila shrieked. She collapsed right on cue,clutching her belly and sobbing.

Fiercely protective,Kyle instantly shielded her,glaring at the guards. "Lila is under my protection!Anyone who touches her answers to me!" Ella stared at him,utterly devastated.

She never expected Kyle to lose his mind over a maid like this. "Kyle,do you know how many powerful Alphas begged for Seraphina?" "Do you know how hard I had to fight to secure this bond for you?!" "Seraphina's bloodline is impeccable!

Her destiny would have brought you absolute glory!" "And you humiliate her like this? Right in front of the entire pack?!"

Kyle jutted his chin out,completely unbothered. "I never said I didn't want her!

I just needed to put her in her place so she doesn't try to bully Lila later!" He looked at me like he was doing me a massive favor. "As long as you treat Lila well and put her needs first,I’ll still accept you as my mate.

I'll even give you the Luna title to save your dignity." "But don't ever expect me to touch you." "Lila is three months pregnant. Once the pup is born,you'll be the one raising it.

I won't have Lila exhausting herself." "And your father is the pack’s High Priest,right?

He can be the pup’s personal tutor, making sure my heir is raised for greatness!" The whole room froze. Everyone was stunned by his outrageous demands.

Ella’s face burned with humiliation. But then she remembered the pup growing in Lila’s womb. Kyle's flesh and blood.

Unable to punish that pregnant maid,she forced a smile and grabbed my hands. "My dear,this is all my fault.

I failed to discipline him,and now you're the one suffering." "But the whole pack is watching. Could you just...pretend to agree to his demands?

Let us get through the ceremony first." "I promise you,I will handle this later. I will never let that little bitch step over you!" My heart turned to ice.

Ella could make all the pretty promises she wanted,but I wasn't stupid. If she couldn't control him today,she never would.

I gently pulled my hands from hers. "Lady Ella,I refuse to turn a blind eye to disrespect." "Have you forgotten? When you begged my mother for this bond,you swore it yourself.

Kyle would only ever have one mate." "And now?The ceremony isn't even finished, yet he humiliates me for a mistress—and gets her pregnant with a bastard pup." "With all due respect,I'd rather die alone than mate with a wolf like him." Ella didn't expect me to be so defiant.

The color instantly drained from her face. But Kyle was furious.

He pointed a finger straight at me and roared: "You really think I'll take you as my mate just because my mother backs you?!

Keep dreaming,Seraphina!" "I'd love to see how you finish this ceremony without me!" With that,Kyle scooped Lila into his arms and stormed off. He didn't even look back.

Ella’s desperate pleading fell on deaf ears. Abandoned on the day of my own mating ceremony. The entire pack stared at me,filled with pity.

But Ella wasn't giving up. "My dear,today is Kyle's fault. But the ceremony cannot be delayed." "What if we use a white wolf as his proxy to finish the ritual for now?

We can always make it right later." "If this bond is broken,you won't just be humiliated. The Council of Elders will punish you for breaking the pact."
