Stepping on You With My Glass Slipper

“Oh my god! The prince sent an invitation for the upcoming royal ball!” Eleanor exclaimed, her voice trembling with excitement as she waved the golden-sealed letter in her hand. “The royal ball!?” Anna and Cindy squealed, nearly toppling over their chair in delight. “Shh! We don’t want Ella to hear about this,” Eleanor hissed, glancing nervously over her shoulder. And there she was, Ella, standing by the doorway with her eyes gleaming, ready to pounce on anyone in sight. “Did someone say balls?” Ella grinned widely, her smile wide enough to make her mother and sister flinch. “No, no—it’s a royal ball, a ball. It’s where people… dance,” Eleanor stammered, her voice faltering. “Well, then,” Ella said, her grin stretching further, “there’s going to be a lot of balls there.” And with that, Ella darted to her room, already rummaging through her drawers. Ella wasn’t just dreaming of going to the royal ball— she dreams of every ball. In a kingdom obsessed with beauty and perfection, Ella, long ridiculed as the “ugly half-sister,” has spent her life in the shadows of her graceful and adored sisters. However, Ella never allowed mockery to pierce her strange, unbothered world. She focused on the hobby that kept growing—collecting balls and other round-shaped items. When the royal family announced the grand ball to find a bride for their prince, Eleanor’s heart sank. She feared Ella’s oddities might bring embarrassment to their family. Desperate to uphold their name, Eleanor resolved to turn her awkward daughter into a refined young lady, no matter how severe the training. “Posture, Ella! You’re not a hunchbacked scarecrow!” “Smile softly, not like you’re about to eat someone!” But despite Eleanor’s strict lessons, Ella’s wild grin never faded. It only sharpened. When the night of the royal ball finally arrived, the palace glimmered under crystal chandeliers. The prince stood poised, the very image of perfection, until the grand doors opened. Ella entered, her gown shimmering with hundreds of tiny glass spheres sewn into the fabric, catching every flicker of light. The room fell silent as a faint, musical clinking echoed with each step she took. The prince turned, his flawless gaze locking with hers. Ella smiled, leaning close enough for only him to hear. “I’ve always loved balls,” she whispered. The prince’s lips parted slightly, his polished smile faltering as if he wasn’t quite sure what he was looking at. Ella tilted her head, her grin fierce and unrestrained. Then, the grand doors opened again. Gasps rippled through the crowd like a wave breaking on marble. With that, a mysterious woman in a simpler dress entered.

The Moon Chose Her Last : When Fate Breaks, Gods Are Born

"You are Moonless. The bond is severed. Leave before dawn, or we hunt you as rogue." Alpha Caderin Nightshade's rejection wasn't private—it was a spectacle. In front of the entire Silverpaw pack, beneath the full moon that should have blessed their union, Thessa Rowan felt nothing when their mate bond snapped. No warmth. No connection. Just hollow silence where the Moon's blessing should have sang. Declared Moonless—a wolf abandoned even by the goddess—Thessa is cast out with nothing but shame and the clothes on her back. Her own sister, Maren, smirks from Cadeirin's side, the new Luna who orchestrated Thessa's downfall with whispered lies and stolen moments. Wandering into the northern wastes where the Moon is said to have died centuries ago, Thessa expects to freeze or starve. Instead, she finds Erynd Frostborne—an immortal guardian bound by ancient prophecy to protect the balance between wolves and the divine. He's been waiting three thousand years for a sign that never came. Until her. Thessa doesn't draw power from the Moon. She replaces it. As her presence begins rewriting werewolf magic itself—bonds snapping without rejection, pack hierarchies crumbling, wolves praying to her instead of the goddess—the revelation sends shockwaves through every territory. Packs hunt her as a heresy. Priests fear her as the End of Days. And Erynd faces an impossible choice: uphold the oath that's kept him alive for millennia, or protect the woman who proves that even the gods can be wrong. One thing becomes devastatingly clear: Thessa wasn't rejected because she was Moonless. She was rejected because she was destined to become something far more dangerous than any Luna. She was meant to become the Moon itself.

THE ALPHA WHO REJECTED THE MOON

"You are not worthy to stand beside an Alpha King. I, Dante Silvercrest, reject you as my mate and Luna." The words echo across the sacred Moon Claiming ceremony as every wolf in the kingdom watches Elara Moonwyn—daughter of disgraced traitors—reach for a bond that will never be hers. Publicly humiliated, stripped of her dignity, Elara flees into the one place no wolf dares to enter: the Forbidden Veilwood, where rejected mates go to die and ancient magic devours the broken-hearted. But Elara doesn't die. She awakens something older than the Moon Goddess herself—a bloodline sealed away because it was too powerful, too dangerous, too divine. The mark on her skin is no longer the rejected mate brand. It's the Starborn Sigil, proof that she descends from the first children of the cosmos, the ones who created the Moon Goddess and the werewolf species. And the moment her seal breaks, Alpha King Dante begins to die. Deadly visions plague him. His heart stops whenever hers races. His wolf howls in agony, claiming its mate was never truly rejected—the bond merely transformed into something darker, a cosmic punishment for scorning what the universe itself blessed. But when Dante comes crawling back, desperate and dying, Elara has already caught the eye of another: Alpha Kieran Nightshade, the mysterious Wolf King of the North, who kneels before her and calls her what Dante never did—Queen. Now Dante must watch the woman he rejected become the most powerful being in their world while he suffers the consequences of breaking a bond the universe never meant to be broken. The prophecy was always clear: When the Moon is rejected, the Stars will claim their daughter back, and all wolves will kneel or burn. Elara Moonwyn was never just a rejected mate. She was always the end—and the beginning.

CHAINS OF THE FORSAKEN MATE

For eighteen years, Isla Thorne has been the shadow in her own family—the unwanted reminder of a scandal no one speaks about. While her half-sister Celeste shines as the pack's beloved princess, Isla scrubs floors, endures whispers, and counts the days until her eighteenth birthday when she can finally leave Silvermoon Pack forever. Freedom is seventy-two hours away when her wolf awakens. And the mate bond slams into place, connecting her to Rowan Blackwater —future Alpha, Celeste's perfect fiancé, and the golden boy who made Isla's childhood a nightmare. He's the one who led the pack kids in tormenting her, who turned blind eyes to her suffering, who represents everything she's learned to hate. Isla does the only thing that makes sense: she publicly rejects him in front of the entire pack. She expects relief. Instead, she gets obsession. Suddenly, the Alpha heir who barely acknowledged her existence is everywhere —breaking into her room, sabotaging her escape plans, cornering her in dark hallways, declaring she belongs to him and him alone. He claims the bond "opened his eyes." That he sees her now. That he'll burn down anyone who tries to take her away—including Celeste. But Isla knows better. Wolves don't change overnight. This is just another game, another way to break her before she escapes. Except Rowan isn't playing. When rogues attack targeting Isla specifically, when pack secrets about her bloodline surface, when Celeste's sweet mask cracks to reveal something poisonous underneath—Rowan becomes her unwanted shield. Possessive. Protective. Unhinged. And terrifyingly, Isla's wolf wants him back. As Isla uncovers the truth about why her family really kept her—about the ancient Omega bloodline running through her veins, about the prophecy that makes her the key to ultimate pack power, about the Luna ceremony that was never meant for Celeste—she realizes her rejection didn't just wound Rowan's pride. It triggered a countdown to war. Because Rowan Blackwater doesn't lose. And he certainly doesn't lose his mate to a sister who's been poisoning her for eighteen years or to the rival pack that's been hunting Isla since birth. Now Isla must choose: Run and let everyone discover what she's truly worth when she's gone, or stay and fight for a bond she never wanted with a male she's not sure she can trust—but might be the only one who's ever truly seen her. Because sometimes the cruelest twist of fate becomes the greatest love story. And sometimes the boy who broke you is the only one who can make you whole.
