Her Alpha's Rejection, His Luna's Rise
The wind whipped my hair as I stared across the battlefield at the man who had rejected me on the alter thrity seven full moons ago. Defying Draven’s orders, I spurred my horse to the front lines, my bow slung across my back, the mate bond pulsing with Kaelen’s nearness.
"Kaelen you coward!" I shouted, my voice cutting through the wind, "Come out here and face me like a man!"
No answer.
Just as I was about to turn and head back, when I saw his ranks begin to part.
"Selene, my love." He said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. "Am I safe to assume this is your oh so terrible attempt at surrender?"
I gave a smile of my own. "Oh, darling. I just wanted you to take one long look at my face. I want to have the chance to look you in the eyes when I say this: this here is the last face you're going to see before you die."
With that, I turned my horse around and headed behind my banners.
“Prepare the lines,” I called, ready for the war to start.
Blurb:
On the night Selene was to be crowned Luna, her fated mate, the Alpha she had loved since childhood, publicly chose another. Before the entire pack, he marked a foreign princess, casting Selene aside as “unworthy.”
Betrayed, humiliated and stripped of her son, Selene swore she would never crawl back.
When a rival Alpha, Draven of the Shadowfangs, offers her his hand, Selene accepts... not for love, but for revenge. Their union is dangerous, defiant, and forbidden… yet the fire between them is undeniable.
Now Selene is no longer the abandoned mate. She is a rising queen, torn between a cursed bond to the man who betrayed her and the intoxicating passion of the enemy who would burn the world for her.
But war is coming. The mate bond aches, the Moon Goddess herself schemes against her, and her son is trapped in the hands of her ruthless ex.
To survive, Selene must shatter destiny itself… even if it means defying gods, breaking bonds, and destroying the Alpha who once claimed her.
This isn’t fate. This is war.
