Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) Countdown To Escape
As I stood by the window, the paper calendar on my wall rustled in the wind and I looked over at the marked-off days. Only six more days to go until I could finally be free. I tightened my jacket around me and gazed outside, where the sky was a gloomy shade of gray, and the clouds looked ominous, as if a tornado might be on its way. Late spring weather was notoriously unpredictable.Part of me hoped that the storm would hit my mother's dilapidated trailer and allow me to escape permanently. However, I knew that it wouldn't be that easy. The pack's magic kept the worst weather at bay and also prevented us from causing ourselves harm. Unfortunately, it didn't stop other pack members from hurting me.I could have tried to provoke Ray and his cronies to take more drastic action, but that would have meant risking my life. Killing another pack member was punishable by death, but I doubted anyone would shed a tear for me. And the next alpha would likely dispose of the "broken wolf" without a
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) Stalking Shadows In The Store.
Despite the pain and fear caused by Ray's attack, Elisa tried to focus on her work at the store. She couldn't shake off the feeling of dread, though. Ray had never been that violent towards her before, and she didn't know what could have triggered his behavior. The possibility that he had developed some kind of aggressive streak after shifting into his wolf form sent shivers down her spine. If he became alpha of the pack, they would all be in serious trouble.Elisa's thoughts were interrupted by her manager's voice. She snapped back to reality and started unpacking boxes of canned goods. She was grateful for the distraction, but her head was still throbbing from the assault. She had to hide her symptoms to avoid attracting attention from her colleagues or customers.As she worked her way through the boxes of beans, corn, and beets, Elisa couldn't help but wonder why they sold so many beets. Did wolf shifters have a secret craving for them? It was an odd thing, but she had to restock t
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) The Final Shift
Ray seemed to be everywhere, whether it was in the halls, at the store, or even on the street. As instructed, I attempted to blend in with the crowd, cowering behind other people or even hiding behind a tree. It was hardly a stealthy approach since Ray had already spotted me, but to his credit, he averted his gaze. He even went as far as distracting his friends to ensure that they didn't catch sight of me, unless I was just imagining it.It didn't make sense. Years of being bullied and physically assaulted had left their mark on me. The memories of broken bones and bruises were too vivid for me to ignore Ray's warning. Every time I hid, I felt like a failure, even though I had survived so far on nothing more than sheer determination. Fleeing from a literal "big bad wolf" was wreaking havoc on my self-esteem.But the end was in sight. The only thing that kept me going was the fact that no one knew of my plans to attend a human college. I was determined to make something of myself, even
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) Whisper Of Departure And Hidden Past
The abrupt sound of a slamming door jolted me from my sleep, instantly bringing me to full alertness, my heart racing. A man's voice erupted in a shout, followed by the resonating echo of my mother's voice, and then a loud crash against a wall. With urgency coursing through me, I hurriedly swung my legs out of bed and swiftly unlocked my bedroom door. Just as I stumbled into the living room, the front door to our modest trailer banged shut with a forceful finality.There stood my mom, disheveled and draped in a worn-out bathrobe, at the entrance of her slightly ajar bedroom. Her fiery red hair was in disarray, and smeared lipstick adorned her mouth. Even though she wasn't actively crying, the streaks left by her mascara hinted at recent tears."Are you alright?" I inquired, concern lacing my words.Slowly, my mother turned away from the partially open door and directed her gaze toward me. In that moment, her eyes widened as if truly seeing me for the first time in a while. Our interac
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) Unveiled Intentions
Furious, I slammed the cup down on the counter and stormed back into my room. The time had come to depart. I wasn't certain when the magic barrier would permit my exit, but I had no intention of lingering here. My educated guess was that I could probably venture out sometime after moonrise, but I couldn't afford to wait around. Any head start was better than none. Swiftly, I assembled a peanut butter sandwich and collected an assortment of snacks to sustain me over the next few days, just in case the journey to Wolf Bay took longer than expected. One more bitter aspect of this place gnawed at me: the lack of geographical knowledge. Though aware that we were situated in the United States, with temperate winters and scorching summers occasionally dusted with snow, the specifics remained a mystery. A hotel might be days away, or I might stumble upon a bustling city. But no matter how many adult
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) Unveiling Shadows
"Make your choice," Julian's voice dripped with a mixture of mockery and proximity to the door. "How wide can you manage to open that mouth of yours?""Disgusting," I retorted, repulsed by his insinuation."Why else would Ray want you around if you're not giving in?" Julian's taunting tone persisted."I'm not involved with Ray in that way," I declared firmly. In truth, I wasn't involved with anyone. There wasn't a single member of this pack I'd willingly share intimacy with. My desires were present, but they were far more subdued compared to the heightened libidos of shifters. I'd accidentally stumbled upon fellow classmates in compromising situations in the library on more than one occasion. While I might find my release privately, I reserved it for moments behind locked doors at home.At least the curse had its silver lining. I couldn't fathom engaging in sexual encounters with any of the detestable individuals here. The concern of human STDs wasn't a factor, but the risk of pregnan
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) The Monthly Ceremony
With a monthly ceremony being a regular occurrence, it wasn't a significant event for the entire pack, but it held a special importance for the families of those who had recently undergone their first shift. In the human world, I had heard stories of extravagant parties thrown for significant milestones like birthdays or graduations.However, in our world, we did things differently. When we completed high school, we simply received our diplomas at the end of the school day on the last day of classes. No ceremony, no celebrations—just a casual "see you in the fall." The pack's sole focus was on one's ability to shift, making it the defining moment of our lives.Imagine being a wolf who couldn't do the one thing that mattered most in our society. That was my reality, and no one in our tight-knit community let me forget it. My mother and I were the sole members of our pack who couldn't shift, a cursed existence that made growing up a living nightmare. In middle school, I had spent countl
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) A Reluctant Presence
Billy's punches may have been less frequent than Julian's or Ray's, but he had certainly contributed his share of pain, whether it was by slamming me into walls or knocking books from my hands. In truth, he was just as brutal as the rest of them; I had simply failed to see it initially."Stop talking, Elisa. Your mouth is only going to make this worse," Billy cautioned."My, my, Billy, your friend Julian seems to be a fan of my mouth," I retorted.Billy came to a sudden halt. "Seriously, Elisa, just this once, stop pushing back. Maybe if you do, they'll go easy on you."I stopped and scrutinized him, trying to decipher his expression. What was going through his mind? Fear? Anxiety? Anger? It was a mix of emotions I couldn't quite decipher. How I wished I possessed the wolf's ability to read people right now.

I rose to my tiptoes, enveloping Billy in an embrace. "You’re going to be an amazing alpha."Returning the hug, he urged, "Be careful, okay?""You too," I replied before stepping back. "I’ll be in touch soon.""I’ll be okay," he assured me."I know you will," I said with certainty."You will too, you know. You were born for this," he smiled warmly. Our bond, forged through trials, felt unbreakable, a connection that would last a lifetime.Billy rejoined his pack, and I walked over to my waiting entourage. "Malcom, would you stay with Billy for a few days? Just so he has someone loyal here.""Of course," Malcom agreed. "Now, go. See your mom. Billy’s got this, but just in case, he’s got me."The drive back to the house felt endless. Conversation attempts failed, leaving us engulfed in a heavy silence. Most of us were too drained or overwhelmed to speak."She’s going to be fine," Tony reassured me, squeezing my hand from the backseat.I glanced at him, grateful that it was just us in th
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) Solstice Revelations
The shifters surged forward, enveloping us in cheers and exuberant shouts. Billy was hoisted onto shoulders and paraded around the field. Amidst this whirlwind of jubilation, I felt a wave of relief, joy, and peace emanating from the gathered shifters.Billy was about to face a challenging task, but if anyone could lead Wolf Bay to its rightful place, it was him.The entire household buzzed with activity as preparations for the Solstice celebration reached their climax. The longest night coinciding with a full moon promised an epic party.As I readied myself to greet the guests, a surge of nerves accompanied my anticipation. Tony grasped my hand reassuringly. "You’re going to be great. Nothing bad is going to happen. This is what you’ve been working so hard for the last year."He was right, and his unwavering support had been invaluable. Together, we had strived to mend pack relations and lay the groundwork for positive change among the shifters.Tonight was pivotal. Our efforts to re
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) A New Alpha, A New Dawn
Ace’s gasps punctuated the silence, his wide eyes reflecting sheer terror. The punishment I had delivered was the ultimate blow. He thrived on adoration and the capacity to instill fear in others. Stripped of his position of power, he was left with nothing. Executing him would only grant him martyrdom.Murmurs rippled among the gathered shifters as the sentence resonated among the crowd. Gradually, those murmurs evolved into applause.Billy, taking a step forward, approached Ace. I wasn’t privy to their exchange, but Billy sought closure here too. Whispering something to Ace, he withdrew, a smile gracing his lips. Though Ace appeared enraged, he didn’t retaliate.It wasn’t my place to know; Billy, like me, suffered under Wolf Bay's rule. He may have made mistakes but always sought to balance the good amidst adversity. What potential might he have realized without the constant struggle to please Ace for his sister’s sake while trying to do the right thing?"Well, this wasn’t what I exp
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) A Monarch's Justice
Ace’s punishment warranted a unique approach. Death seemed too lenient, risking his transformation into a martyr. I wasn’t oblivious to the entrenched mindset of males accustomed to unchecked authority; they wouldn't simply yield to a female monarch. Rectifying the injustices demanded extensive effort.For every tale akin to mine, numerous others remained untold. Danielle and Clara had been unjustly divested of their positions bestowed by the Moon Goddess herself. How many others suffered at the hands of feeble men intent on preserving power?Ace would serve as an exemplar. Stripped of strength, divested of authority. I required his survival to serve as a cautionary symbol, illustrating what lay ahead, rather than providing grounds for shifters to rebel against me.His punishment wasn’t solely for his sexism but for exploiting all members of his pack. I needed clarity on that point.My guards halted, creating space between our contingent and the leaders of my former pack. Ace and his
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) Thrones and Unspoken Pasts
The four of us strode through the grand double doors, prompting the council members to rise from their seats arranged along a long wooden table, adorned with a dozen chairs. At one end sat a conspicuously larger chair, set against the backdrop of a crackling fireplace casting a warm glow in the room. The floor boasted dark wood, accentuated by a regal red and gold rug. Above, chandeliers crafted from antlers lent a distinctive touch, deviating from the crystal fixtures I had seen elsewhere in the estate."Thank you for your patience," I addressed them, endeavoring to convey a sense of composure and authority."Of course, your highness," one of the men responded.I made my way to the larger seat and settled into it. The men gathered around the table, one side occupied by my family and the other by the four males constituting my predecessor’s council. It was an unconventional arrangement, but if Harold deemed it necessary to hear their counsel, I was willing to entertain their perspect
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) Choices
Breakfast with my friends felt familiar and safe. Danielle, Malcolm, and Billy had mostly waited to eat until we arrived. The guards stood outside the room, and at my instance, the staff was willing to leave the food and let us serve ourselves.To my friends’ credit, they all steered the topic of conversation toward random things that were unrelated to our current situation. It was as if they knew I needed a little break before I had to figure out how to do the job I’d committed to when I took down the old king.We ate till we were all stuffed and laughed at Malcolm’s stories about trying to learn how to fix a car and accidentally setting it on fire. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pictured Mario’s face. “I bet he never let you near his car again.”“Only if I’m trying to fix it. Driving I’m fine with. It’s when you give me tools that it causes an issue.”“I’ll keep that in mind,” I said.“Your highness,” a male voice said.I turned and saw one of my guards. Malaki, I think.He was
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) Revelation And Revolutions II
The group departed, leaving me surrounded by friends, guards, and a handful of staff. Turning my focus back to them, I reaffirmed, "For real, though. I keep my promises."An older woman with white hair nodded to her companions, affirming, "Told you Claire was telling the truth." She glanced at me. "If there's nothing more for us, we'll get back to work."I nodded in acknowledgment. "Find me if you need anything."With a smile, she guided the group away from me. As the extra people dispersed, I surveyed those who remained. The guards stood their ground, making this as private as it could get. My impatience surged—I needed answers. "Where's my mom? How's she doing?"Harold hesitated. "I'm not sure.""What do you mean? Weren't you with her last night?" I pressed."I was. She was in bad shape. Didn't even recognize me," he admitted, shaking his head.My chest tightened. "Where is she now?""Star's been with her all night," Malcom chimed in. "She prioritized helping your mom before the res
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) Reflections of a New Queen
The other guards introduced themselves, a touch of ease evident in their demeanor. Spending ample time together, it felt comforting to begin to acquaint ourselves."James, Malaki, Ruben, and Cole," I acknowledged each, prompting smiles and nods in response."Shall we check in on the others?" I suggested."After you, Elisa," James replied.Summoning courage, I led the way. The ballroom burst with music, vibrant lights, and spirited revelry. Blue-uniformed shifters circulated trays of food while bartenders manned stations amid a dancing crowd.Amidst the party's vibrancy, I felt the fight's aftermath. Stiffness and soreness seeped in, reminders of the battle with my uncle.Making rounds among the guests, I sought a respite. James directed us to a guest suite, a refuge from the festivities.Stepping into the room, opulence surrounded me. A fireplace, plush furnishings, and lavish décor overwhelmed my senses. Wounded and exhausted, I yearned for solace.Stripping off my soiled clothes, I
Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) Embracing A New Reign
His body tensed, signaling his intent, yet his position was flawed. Almost missed it, but my human side caught the subtle adjustment—he was about to feign an attack, aiming to turn my own game against me. I swiftly moved, anticipating his altered angle, and narrowly evaded his strike. Passing control to my wolf, she veered around, slashing her claws deep into his side as we darted past.His howls echoed, but my wolf pressed on, delivering another fierce blow to his face. The king, dazed and unprepared for our speed, struggled to match our agility. Each time he adjusted, we were there, ready to strike again with teeth or claws.Aware of our limitation in strength, we adopted a relentless and swift strategy, refraining from a power play or flashy moves. The king's wolf retaliated, pinning us a few times, yet we wriggled free, persistently attacking.Exhaustion began to slow us down, and the king, though limping, persisted. Unexpectedly, he charged, knocking my wolf down. The impact diso
