BOUND BY BETRAYAL, CLAIMED BY THE ROGUES
I was supposed to be his mate. His Luna. The woman he vowed to cherish.
But under the silver glow of the full moon, **Alpha Cassian Blackwood rejected me.** In front of the entire pack, he shattered our bond like I was nothing. No explanation. No hesitation. Just a cold, brutal rejection that sent searing pain through my soul.
I ran. What else could I do? But fate wasn’t done with me. Captured by rogues, I thought my life was over—until **Ronan Vale, their dangerously handsome Alpha, offered me a deal.** A contract marriage. Protection in exchange for my loyalty. A union that would make me untouchable.
I should have refused. Instead, I let myself fall into the arms of a man who sees me not as weak, but as powerful. And he’s not the only one. **Kai, the brooding strategist with haunted eyes, and Luca, the charming beta with a deadly smile, both make it clear—Cassian may have rejected me, but I will never be unwanted again.**
But now Cassian wants me back. **And he’s willing to start a war to claim me.**
I should hate him. I should want revenge. But when I look into his stormy silver eyes, I feel the bond still there, fraying but unbroken.
Now, the men around me are asking me to choose. **My past, or my future. My fate, or my freedom.**
But no one has realized the truth yet.
*I’m not the weak, rejected mate they thought I was.*
And I will never be powerless again.

Chapter: Chapter 12The Remorse of CassianCassian stood at the edge of the forest, staring at the faraway house. The fact that he had been watching Aria from a distance made him regret it.Why had he rejected her? Why had he let his arrogance and vanity damage something so beautiful?He remembered the way she'd looked at him, the sparkle of anticipation in her eyes. He remembered that when she had smiled, her lips had made a gentle arc. He also recalled how he had harmed her.A flood of humiliation washed over Cassian as his eyes fell to the floor. He had lost sight of what was important because he had been so consumed by his ego and persuaded of his superiority.He remembered how Aria had resisted him and persisted on the day he had first seen her. He thought about how she had altered his view of the world and made him face himself. And he knew that he had been wrong to turn her away. He was wrong to think that he was better than her and that he could find someone better.As his eyes shifted back to

Chapter: Chapter 11Dynamics of Packs As I stood in the centre of the meeting site, I was surrounded by the familiar faces of Ronan's pack members. But even with their kind smiles and greets, I couldn't shake the feeling of estrangement. Ronan nodded, his face fixed on me. "Aria, I want you to meet the rest of the pack." Ronan introduced me to the other members of the pack, and I followed him. There were Kai, his sister and strategist; Ryker, his brother and Beta; and a few others whose names I could not recall. I saw that the pack members seemed to be observing me with a combination of interest and mistrust as we traversed their area. I became aware that they were still attempting to determine my place in the group. We came to a halt at the boundary of the area, where a number of pack members were huddled around a big fire. Ronan gave a nod, and they opened up to allow us pass. Ronan added, "Aria, this is our pack's elder, Elara," and he introduced me to the lady seated in the middle of the gather

Chapter: Chapter 10The Charm of Luca My gaze was improbable on the shadowed figure, and I stood still. She was a tall, athletic lady with emerald eyes that seemed to pierce my soul. "Who is that?" My question was hardly audible above a whisper.Ronan grinned as his gaze met mine. "Your twin sister is that, Aria. The person who has been absent for a long time. Shock swept through me, and I stepped forward. "My twin sister?" I said it again, firmly. The lady moved forward while maintaining eye contact with me. "Hello, Aria," she replied in a sultry, deep voice. "I've been waiting for you."The realisation that this lady was my identical sister sent a chill down my spine. However, how could it have happened? I didn't remember her; I didn't remember being apart from her.Ronan nodded, his amused eyes glistening. "Aria, yes. Your sister and you were born apart. But you're back together now." A wave of emotion swept over me, and I stepped forward. "What happened to her?" With a forceful voice, I asked.

Chapter: Chapter 9Introduction of Kai My gaze was locked on the shadowed figure, and I stood still. She was a tall, athletic lady with emerald eyes that seemed to pierce my soul. "Who is that?" My question was hardly audible above a whisper. Ronan grinned as his gaze met mine. "That's Kai, Aria. Beta and my brooding strategist."Kai took a step forward while maintaining eye contact with me. "Hello, Aria," she replied in a sultry, deep voice. "I've heard a lot about you." My interest was piqued, and I moved onward. I answered, "And I've heard nothing about you," in a forceful tone. She grinned, and Kai's gaze furrowed. "Ariana, I'm not into social events. However, I'm always waiting and observing." The realisation that Kai was more than simply a Beta sent a chill down my spine. He was a strategist. She was the one who guided Ronan through the convoluted realm of werewolf politics and assisted him in making judgements. "Ronan," I stated firmly. "I need further information regarding Kai. What part

Chapter: Chapter 8The Start of Training The sound of Ronan's voice, brimming with excitement, roused me. "Ariana, we're starting your training today. You'll learn how to fight, protect yourself, and plan." My pulse was pounding with anticipation as I sat up. I was anxious to learn since I had always found strategy and battle to be fascinating. Ronan grinned, approbation glimmering in his eyes. "I anticipated your eagerness, Aria. You're naturally skilled at fighting." I had a rush of pride and got to my feet, staring into Ronan's eyes. "Ronan, I'm prepared to learn. Give me all of your knowledge. Ronan nodded, his face solemn. "Great job, Aria. But we have to start with the fundamentals first. Combat involves more than simply fighting; it also involves strategy and tactics. I nodded, excitement rushing through my head. I was committed to being the greatest fighter I could be, and I was prepared to learn. Ronan started teaching me the fundamentals of fighting, including how to anticipate my oppon

Chapter: Chapter 7Aria's Choice I sat silently, taking in what Ryker had spoken. I was beginning to feel as if I was ensnared in a web of lies and treachery as Ronan's secrets continued to accumulate. But I was resolved to live and prosper in spite of the risk. "Thank you for telling me, Ryker," I answered firmly. "But I need to make a decision about Ronan's proposal." Ryker nodded and his face became serious. I know what you mean, Aria. But use caution. There are other people observing you besides Ronan. With my pulse pounding with excitement, I nodded. Even though I was aware of the danger, I was prepared to take whatever necessary precautions to keep myself safe. I said, "I've made my decision," in a forceful tone. "I'm going to accept Ronan's proposal." Ryker stepped back as his eyes widened in amazement. "Are you certain, Aria? Ronan is not a trustworthy guy. I nodded, becoming more determined. "I'm certain, Ryker. To safeguard myself and my future, I must take this action. Ryker nodded, h
