Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) The Struggle For Freedom
"Dad, this has to stop," Ray declared firmly. "She's my mate, and I won't allow her to be treated with disrespect." With determination in his eyes, Ray rose from his seat and picked up a blanket from a nearby chair. He approached me, gently draping the blanket over my shoulders.Appreciatively, I wrapped the blanket around myself, trying to quell the warm emotions that Ray's gesture had stirred within me. I was fighting my attraction to him, but I couldn't refuse the comfort of the blanket, especially now that Ace had mentioned the mark. I had to change the subject and keep Ray from learning about it. Escaping was still my priority, even though this opportunity seemed lost. It was time to change my strategy."Could you please take me back to my room?" I pleaded, affecting my most vulnerable tone.Ray helped me stand and reass

Six adult male shifters felt like an excessive presence outside my window. Perhaps it was a compliment, but regardless, I wasn't considering that escape route. Frustrated, I moved away from the window, determined to find another option.I walked to the door and crouched down to peek underneath it. Though the details were hazy, I could discern movement and shadows, indicating guards posted by the door. They weren't taking any chances of letting me slip through. I was left with two choices: surrender to my fate or find a way to fight.The thought of giving up crossed my mind briefly, but the image of Tony's face when he saw me alive pushed me forward. I needed him to know that he hadn't succeeded in getting rid of me. I was determined to escape without succumbing to a mating bond.I emptied the drawers, checked the closet, and even crawled under the bed, but the room offered no potential weapons. Frustrated, I sat on the bed to contemplate my o

The door swung open, and we both pivoted our attention towards it. Ace stood in the doorway, flanked by several other shifters, sending a clear message: I was going nowhere."She's ready for Ray," Billy announced."She knows her place."Ace's face twisted into a murderous expression. "Nobody asked you to meddle.""I overheard," Billy persisted."She's agreed to get a tattoo, something to commemorate her bond, on her hip."Suppressing my unease, I maintained a defiant glare at Ace, though internally, I felt sick at the thought of being with Ray. If Billy was my ticket out of this mess, playing along might be my only hope.Ace's expression softened, and he raised an eyebrow. "Oh?""Do you want to send the tattoo artist tonight?" I asked, surprisingly keeping my tone steady."I was thinking of getting a dark gray wolf, the same color as Ray's."Ace narrowed his eyes. "What brough

We were perched on the second floor, and while I had initially considered it as a potential escape route, it now seemed far less appealing than it had in my initial contemplation. The distant sound of bones cracking caught my attention, and when I glanced back at Billy, I saw him transforming into his wolf form.He growled at me, then leaped through the open window, landing with a clumsy grace that appeared to leave him unscathed. He shifted back into his human form with astonishing speed, making my head spin. Billy and Tony positioned themselves, arms outstretched, ready to catch me as I prepared to take the leap."You've got to be kidding me," I couldn't help but shout."Just jump, Elisa," Tony urged urgently. "Now."Damn it. This was my best shot. I took a deep breath, positioning myself on the window sill, with my legs dangling outside. Then, summoning every ounce of courage, I pushed off, praying that I wouldn't end up with a broken leg

That grabbed my attention. I attempted to conceal the surprise that washed over me, but I knew I wasn't quick enough. "Why should I care?""Because you weren't meant to live like a feral. You need community, family, love. Camp was never going to be a place for you to find happiness," he asserted. "And, without being overly dramatic, you're in danger because of who your father is.""You know nothing about me," I retorted. "And I don't buy this sudden concern for my safety. You sent me into a den of vipers without a second thought.""I understand you better than you realize, and I despise myself for what I did. But I did what I had to," he admitted."I trusted you, and you exploited me," I hissed."I had no choice. We both had our roles to play," he said."Don't you dare try to convince me that you did all of this for my benefit or some noble reason," I accused."Then I won't make that claim. I can't change the past," he c

Somehow, his words struck a chord with me. How on earth had I found myself confined within a car alongside a former adversary and the man who had broken my heart, betraying me in the process? I concealed my surprise with a brief moment of silence, letting out a breath before lowering my hands from my face. "What's your plan?""Thank you," Billy responded. "Tony mentioned that you have friends at his camp. The spy has returned to Wolf Bay, so we should be reasonably safe for now. However, we can't linger. What we need is time for you to gain control over your shifting abilities. After that, we have to address your father before you can challenge Ace for leadership of the pack.""Wait, what?" My heart raced, and I felt a surge of panic. "I never agreed to any of that. What if I don't want to return to Wolf Bay or have anything to do with my father? And I can't help but notice that your plan doesn't include breaking my mating bond with Ray."Both men fell into sile

I glanced at the back of Tony's head as he concentrated on the road ahead, but I knew he was listening. "Let me guess, my dad isn't just some random guy my mom had a fling with. There's more to this, right? He's going to be a nightmare. What if I don't want anything to do with him? Hell, what if my mom was right, and him knowing I'm alive makes my life even worse? If that's even possible.""One step at a time," Billy offered. "First, let's figure out your wolf, and then we can deal with the rest.""I tried that once. I was close. Then I had to leave it all behind to go make Tony some money," I admitted, feeling the raw pain resurface, as fresh as the day he betrayed me. Maybe I needed to confront this. "I hope you got enough from selling me out.""I didn't have a choice," Tony said without turning to look at me. While I should have been thankful he was focused on driving, I sensed his avoidance rather than safety."I'm not sure I can handle

I kept my gaze averted as I noticed Mario approaching. I felt terrible; after all, we had borrowed his car, but I wasn't in the mood for conversation."Hey, Elisa, I've got a new car arriving next week. Want to help me build the engine?" Mario asked, seemingly oblivious to any awkwardness.I looked up at him, surprised by how easily he resumed our previous camaraderie. "That sounds like fun.""I'll make sure to save some of the challenging tasks for you," he said with a grin.I returned his smile, even though I doubted I'd be around to assist with his project. However, I didn't want to disappoint him, especially when he seemed so genuine."Elisa, I've been waiting for you," Greta's voice interrupted our conversation. I felt a sudden rush of relief."You better run. She doesn't like to wait," Mario teased before I hurried over to Greta.My place in this community was still uncertain, and I wasn't sure who could be t

Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna) Redemption's Embrace, A Happy Ending
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
