My earliest memories were of loneliness and survival. Abandoned as a pup, I grew up wandering the edges of packs, always longing for a sense of belonging that remained just out of reach. Every attempt to join a pack ended the same way—with rejection. No parents, no known bloodline, no place to call home. To them, I was nothing more than an outsider. Unworthy.

The sting of rejection hardened me, shaping me into a survivor. I learned to rely on no one but myself.

That changed when I was fifteen.

I stumbled upon Maron, a reclusive she-wolf who had long turned her back on pack life. Grief had driven her into isolation after she lost her mate in a brutal war, but something about the lost, starving girl standing before her softened her heart. She took me in—offered me food, shelter, and, most importantly, kindness.

Being a teenager was hard enough, but being one who hadn’t shifted yet? Even harder. Still, I managed to pull it off.

One evening, as I crept toward Maron, trying to sneak up on her, she turned just before I could pounce. She grinned knowingly.

“Happy eighteenth birthday, darling.”

I stopped in my tracks, eyes widening at the sight before me—a well-made cake with a bold "18" written on top. My mouth fell open slightly.

“So this is why you sent me hunting earlier, isn’t it, Ma?” I smirked, calling her the name I always had. She was the closest thing to a mother I’d ever known.

Maron chuckled. “Maybe.”

“Thanks, Ma. I really appreciate it,” I said, settling down beside her. I eyed the cake playfully. “Hope it’s edible this time.”

She burst out laughing. “I think so, Rex. I followed the recipe book you gave me last year—after I completely ruined that last one.”

I laughed along with her. “Guess we’ll find out. You first.”

Maron nudged the plate toward me. “Oh, no. Birthday girl goes first.”

I grinned but leaned back dramatically. “I’d rather not, Ma. I’m only eighteen! I can’t die yet—I haven’t even shifted or met my mate!” I counted on my fingers for emphasis.

Maron’s laughter softened as she shook her head. “Speaking of shifting… tonight should be the night. The clearing outside should be perfect for your first transformation.”

My heart leaped. “Finally! I can see what it actually feels like to shift.”

I jumped to my feet, ready to race back to my room, when Maron called after me, “You didn’t eat the cake yet!”

I pretended not to hear her, dashing off with laughter trailing behind me.

I barely felt like I had slept when Maron’s sharp voice woke me.

“The moon is out, Rex. It’s almost time.”

I sat up groggily, then remembered what was happening. Excitement rushed through me. This was it. My first shift.

I followed Maron to the clearing she had mentioned earlier. It was an open field, barren but bathed in silver moonlight.

“Stand in the center, my dear,” she instructed. “The moment the moon passes over you, the shift should begin.”

I stepped forward, rolling my shoulders. “Alright, Ma. I’ll just stand here like a sitting duck,” I joked, trying to lighten the mood.

She smiled but didn’t respond.

Minutes later, we felt the shadow of the moon move. Maron stepped back.

“Almost time,” she called.

And then it happened.

The moment the moon’s light touched me, something ignited inside. A surge of power coursed through my veins, overwhelming and uncontrollable. My knees buckled, and I collapsed.

Damn, Maron could have warned me about this part.

The air around me shifted. My senses sharpened—I could hear, see, and feel everything with new clarity. Then, a voice echoed in my mind.

Ria.

I sucked in a sharp breath. My wolf.

Not now, Wolfie, I thought, trying to focus on shifting. But something felt off. The power within me built to a breaking point—and then, just like that, it vanished.

The moonlight dimmed. The pain disappeared. My senses remained heightened, but something was missing.

I wasn’t in my wolf form.

I looked down. Same arms. Same legs. Same human body.

Maron rushed to me, concern written all over her face. “What happened?” she asked, checking me over.

“I… I don’t know,” I admitted, shaking my head in disbelief. “I felt the shift coming. My senses kicked in. I even heard my wolf.” I exhaled sharply. “But I didn’t shift.”

Maron's brows furrowed, but she quickly masked her worry. “Shifts are different for everyone, Rex. Yours might just take a little longer.”

But I could see it in her eyes—she had no idea what had happened either.

I forced a smile. “I’m sure I’ll shift when the time is right. No need to worry, Ma.”

She pulled me into a tight hug, and for the first time that night, I let my guard down.

After we said our goodnights, I climbed into bed with one lingering thought:

When exactly will that time be?

One year later:

Maron stood in front of me with another cake, a warm smile on her face.

“Happy nineteenth birthday, Rex.”

I looked at the cake, then at her.

“I went into town to get it this time,” she added.

I let out a small chuckle, but deep inside, the weight of the past year settled over me.

A whole year had passed. And still… no shift.

I swallowed the lump in my throat. I guess the time still isn’t right.

    My birthday came and went in the blink of an eye, but the weight of turning nineteen without shifting was beginning to take its toll. I could tell Maron was worried too, though we never talked about it. Or rather, I always avoided the conversation. I couldn’t let her worry about me—I just couldn’t. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t even notice Maron approaching until Ria, my wolf, alerted me. Ria had been my companion for the past year, growing closer to me even though my shift never came. I often asked her why I hadn't shifted yet, but her answer was always the same: "A shift isn’t the only way to realize or achieve your potential, Rex." She had said it so many times that I started to believe it. But it still didn’t stop me from wishing I was normal. Maron’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. “My dear, I think we should go hunting tonight. It’s been months since we had a good old-fashioned hunt, hasn’t it?” I sighed. “Ma, I’m not really in the mood tonight.

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Alpha Ron Jaxon

    Alpha Ron Jaxon, leader of the Blue Crescent Pack—the strongest in California—was growing desperate to find his mate. Without a Luna, his position as Alpha became more precarious by the day. His father never missed an opportunity to remind him. “What do you want, Dad?” I sighed, barely looking up from my desk. “You know exactly what I want.” I clenched my jaw. “If I haven’t found my mate yet, then it’s not time.” My voice was edged with frustration—I’d said the same thing a hundred times. This time, my father didn’t argue. He just studied me for a moment before walking out, leaving behind the weight of unspoken expectations. What was the point of leading the strongest pack if all anyone ever asked was whether I’d found my Luna? Yes, I wanted to find her too. She would be the one person to love me unconditionally, and there wasn’t a wolf alive who wouldn’t want that. But I couldn’t force fate. Even my pack was getting restless. Without a Luna, they felt incomplete. But none of

  • Rejected mythical Luna   On The Run

    The moment the words left my mouth, Rexxona collapsed to her knees. Her pain was visceral, slamming into me like a blade straight to the chest. Rejection could destroy a she-wolf—I knew that. But what I didn’t expect was for Rexxona to lift her head, her eyes burning with a mix of heartbreak and defiance. She didn’t scream. She didn’t plead. She just ran. Shock rooted me in place for half a second before instinct kicked in. “Don’t let her escape!” I barked at my warriors. Even as my wolf howled in protest, I chased after her. I told myself it was for the pack—that her powers were unpredictable, that we needed answers. But deep down, I knew the truth. I couldn’t bear to let her go. The rejection had been a moment of desperation, a way to calm my pack. At least, that’s what I told myself as I ran after her. Rexxona POV: My heart felt like it was shattering with every step, but I didn’t stop. The pack I had fought to survive in now hunted me like a fugitive. The mate I was destin

    "I need help." Those were the only words I could force out. The girl in front of me frowned, her brows knitting together as if expecting more. But I had nothing else to say. So I said it again. "I really need help." I was a rogue, a lone wolf, and I had stumbled into this pack's territory looking for refuge—just for a little while. I just needed a place to rest, to gather my strength. I prayed she could help. Her expression softened as she studied me, concern flickering in her eyes. I must have looked awful—filthy, exhausted, desperate. Finally, after what felt like forever, she spoke. "I think I can help," she said slowly. "But first... do you mind telling me your name?" I hesitated before answering. "Rex… Rexxona." "Alright, Rex," she said with a grin, as if we were already friends. "Not to brag or anything, but my brother is the Alpha of this pack—Alpha Aries. And this is the Awoke Pack, in case you were wondering. I think I can pull a few strings for you." Internally, I

    Alpha Aries POV: Her introduction was powerful just like her presence. "I’m Rexxona. Nice to meet you, Alpha Aries." She dipped her head slightly, a respectful bow. I was taken aback by her boldness but masked it immediately. I was Alpha, after all. Before I could respond, Rose spoke up. "She’s a rogue seeking refuge. She asked me for help, so I thought I’d bring her to you for permission." Rexxona quickly added, "I’m sorry for intruding, but this was the nearest pack I could find." There was something about the way she spoke—calm, controlled. Not like a desperate rogue pleading for shelter. There was a quiet strength in her posture, something unspoken in her gaze. It unsettled me. "Give me a minute," I muttered, grabbing Rose by the arm and pulling her aside. "You know nothing about her, and you want me to just let her stay?" My voice was firm, low enough so Rexxona wouldn’t hear. "She could be a threat to our pack for all we know." "I know, I know," Rose whispered

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Introduction;

    Rexxona’s POVA soft knock at the door pulled me from the depths of sleep. My body felt heavy, my mind groggy, and for a brief moment, I forgot where I was. Then it all came rushing back—Jaxon’s rejection, the chase, my desperate escape, and my arrival in the Awoke Pack."Rex? Are you awake?"Rose’s voice was bright and cheerful, oblivious to the storm inside me. I forced myself up, shaking off the lingering haze of exhaustion."Yeah, just give me a second," I called back, quickly pulling on the fresh clothes she left me the night before.When I opened the door, she was beaming as usual. "Good morning! Alpha Aries has called for a pack meeting, and—" she clapped her hands together, eyes twinkling "—you’re the guest of honor!"My stomach dropped. A rogue as the guest of honor? That could only mean one thing—he was officially introducing me to the pack.I nodded, trying to hide my nerves. "Give me a minute to get ready."Internally, I was panicking. But there was no escaping this.I hur

    By the time Rose showed me to my room, exhaustion weighed me down like a boulder. After the tension of the meeting, her bubbly chatter was oddly comforting, even if I barely had the energy to respond."You’ll be safe here," she said with a reassuring smile. "Just try to keep a low profile for now, okay? And let me know if you need anything."I nodded, murmuring a quiet thank you as she left.The moment the door shut, I collapsed onto the bed, letting out a long breath. But before I could fully relax, the book came to mind. Its presence beneath my mattress was both a comfort and a burden, a secret pressing against my conscience.I reached down and pulled it out, my fingers running over its worn leather cover. My heart pounded with anticipation.What are you hiding?As I flipped it open, the first page was ordinary enough—faded ink in a language I didn’t recognize. But the moment my fingertips brushed against the words, a strange warmth spread through my skin. The ink began to glow fain

    Sunlight streamed through the window, warming my skin as I stretched, my muscles aching from yesterday’s tension. The weight of my new reality settled over me, but I shoved it aside. Today was my first day of training with the Awoke Pack. I needed to prove I belonged—even if I technically didn’t After a quick shower, I pulled on the workout clothes Rose had left for me. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. I had no idea how this pack trained. Hell, I had no idea how any pack trained. Rogues didn’t get the luxury of structured training. But I knew how to fight. Maron had made sure of that. The real question was whether my skills would be enough here. Exhaling sharply, I shook off the doubt and headed downstairs—only to find the pack house eerily empty. Shit. I was late. Panic surged through me, and I was about to bolt for the door when I spotted Rose outside, arms folded, waiting. "Are you waiting for someone?" I asked, masking my concern. Rose grinned. "I’m waiti

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Safe Place

    After my encounter with Ron, I took a moment to steady myself before retracing my steps back toward the meeting hall. But as I neared the entrance, my steps faltered. I hadn't expected to see Ron and Aries standing together, engaged in what looked like a tense conversation. From where I stood, Ron did most of the talking, his body language exuding confidence. A little too much confidence. My heart sank. Shit. That asshole was ratting me out. Was I surprised? Not at all. But I had expected more time—time to prepare an excuse, to come up with something convincing. Now, I had nothing. Before I could react, a sharp sound echoed through the air, snapping me out of my thoughts. My gaze shot up just in time to witness Aries’ fist connecting with Ron’s face, sending him sprawling to the ground. Satisfying would be an understatement. I had no idea why Aries did that, and frankly, I didn’t care. The sheer justice of the moment was enough. Still, I composed myself and rushed forward, j

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Provocation

    Ron’s POV For weeks, my pack had been strategizing ways to get Rexxona back from Aries. But no matter how many plans we devised, they all led to the same dead end—invading his pack’s grounds. And that was simply not an option. We needed a way in without raising suspicions. It seemed the heavens were on my side when Regal, my aide, arrived with unexpected news. "Good day, Alpha," he greeted with a respectful nod. "To what do I owe this pleasure, Regal? Ever since you joined the Association on our behalf, I haven’t seen you much." "The Association keeps me busy, but I assure you, Alpha, you’ll be seeing a lot more of me from now on," he smirked. "I came to deliver some important news. Our pack has been chosen as the venue for the upcoming Alpha meeting—the one organized in response to the hunter attacks." "A great opportunity, wouldn’t you say?" he added. Opportunity? More like unwanted responsibility. Hosting meant extra work for my pack and unnecessary interactions wit

    I should have just hidden away like I planned. The moment I stepped into the kitchen and was asked to serve a guest in the meeting room, I knew it was over. "I don’t think I’m fit for this, Faith," I protested, hoping for an escape. "I’m new to the pack—I can’t serve the Alphas." "You’re not serving the Alphas, Rexxona. Just a guest who came with them," she replied, pushing the tray into my hands. "All you have to do is go in, drop it off, and walk out." "But... wait. Is Rose here?" I asked, grasping at any possible excuse. "She’s busy sorting out their accommodations," Faith sighed. "Now go." I took a deep breath, finally accepting my fate. My mind raced with worst-case scenarios. If Ron saw me, I’d be labeled a thief, discarded by this pack, and dragged back to his for whatever twisted reason he was chasing me. My luck had never been great, and today was no exception. Standing outside the meeting room, tray in hand, I inhaled deeply and pushed the door open. Keep your head dow

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Disrespect

    The meeting was supposed to be a one-day thing. A discussion between Alphas about hunter activity—sharing intelligence and coming up with a solution to get rid of them for good. But the moment they changed the venue to my pack and extended the visit to an overnight stay? I knew something was off. I had no solid reason to confront anyone about it, so I kept my suspicions to myself—for now. But the moment they arrived, I made a decision. "I need to get to the bottom of this." "Welcome to my pack, Alpha Levon." I greeted the head of the association and gave a nod of acknowledgment to the other Alphas. It was impossible to personally greet all of them, so this would have to do. "It’s a pleasure to be on your pack grounds, Alpha Aries," a voice responded smoothly. I turned my attention to the speaker— And froze. A man I didn't recognize stepped forward, standing just inches away from me, his hand outstretched. His scent told me he wasn’t an Alpha, which meant I wasn’t obliga

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Plans falling apart

    The moment Aries announced the venue change, I felt my entire shield shatter. For weeks, I had convinced myself that I was done with that part of my life—that I would never have to face him again. But now, he was coming here. Ron was coming here. Panic immediately set in. A million scenarios flashed through my mind, each worse than the last. "Rex, breathe!" My wolf, Ria, tried to calm me, but I was already too far gone. I felt Aries’ gaze on me, but I couldn't focus. The cheers of the pack faded into muffled sounds, and suddenly, the world spun. I instinctively reached out for Julian—he had been right beside me moments ago—but my hand grasped at nothing. "Damn—" The words barely left my lips before my legs gave out beneath me. For the second time in less than a week, I was about to collapse in front of the entire pack. I braced myself for the impact, shutting my eyes as I waited for the pain. But it never came. Instead, a strong grip wrapped around my waist, holding me

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Sudden change

    The past few days had been a blur. Between repairing the pack after the attack and preparing for the upcoming Alpha meeting, I barely had time to breathe. Julian and the others helped, but as Alpha, everything ultimately fell on me. Inspections. Decisions. Approvals. The usual duties of an Alpha. So, when I finally made my way back to my office after another long day, I wasn’t expecting to find Julian waiting at the door. I sighed. "What do you want, Julian?" Ignoring my tone, he grinned and strolled inside, making himself comfortable on the couch. "Well, Alpha, it’s been hard to see you when it’s not about work, so I figured I’d come hang out." I scoffed, shaking my head. Deep down, though, I was grateful for him. He had always been the one to keep me sane. "Well," he continued, "I was hanging out with Rex, but she ditched me for Rose today. Those two have been acting suspicious lately—always stuck together at the hip." He laughed. That’s when I noticed it. Her scent.

    The past few days had passed in a blur.I was finally settling in.For the first time in forever, I had people I could call friends. Lily. Julian. Rose.It was something I had always craved.But lately, I found myself craving something else.Or rather… someone.Aries.I hadn’t seen him in days, and it was annoying how much I felt his absence.Why do I even care?I pushed the thought away, blaming it on the stress of trying to figure out my powers with Rose.Since I told her the truth, she had been completely on board with helping me.But so far, we had made zero progress.The book was still unreadable. Neither of us could decipher the language. The only thing we did notice was a recurring symbol—a green crest with a massive wolf.A mystery on top of a mystery.Controlling my powers?Still impossible.So, in summary, we had gotten nowhere."Rose!!"

  • Rejected mythical Luna   A truth shared

    The moment Julian mentioned the Blue Crescent Pack, my world tilted. I thought I was done with them. For good, this time. But now, they were back. Or rather, I was being dragged back into their world. At the thought of Ron, my heart clenched. The pull was gone—I was sure of that. Whatever weak bond had once existed between us had dulled into nothingness. But the hatred? That still burned strong. My mind spiraled into all the possible scenarios, searching for a way out. Aries would be the one going there. Probably Julian, Lily, and the pack elders too. Not me. I clung to that thought. There was no reason for me to be involved. I’ll be fine. I won’t have to see them. I forced myself to believe it. And just like that, I snapped out of my head and realized— Julian was staring at me. "What now, Rex?" he sighed. "You zoned out for dayssss." I rolled my eyes. "Oh please, it wasn’t even a minute. Just a passing thought." "Mmhmm." He didn’t look convinced, but he let it slide.

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Catching Up

    I was out of the hospital in less than 24 hours, but it didn’t feel like a victory. It was almost time to face the one thing I dreaded the most— Rose. Judging by the past few hours, I could tell she hadn’t told anyone about what she saw. When Julian and Lily came to visit, neither of them acted differently toward me. If they knew, I was sure their expressions, their energy, would have changed. Jillian was still his goofy self, cracking jokes and making me laugh. And for the first time, I realized something—I had never really had relationships like this before. Friends. People who actually cared about me, who made me laugh without expecting something in return. I wasn’t sure how to handle it. But I wanted to try. "We’re hereee!" Julian called, pulling me out of my thoughts as he and Lily walked in. No Rose. My heart sank. I wasn’t sure what I had expected. She had been shocked—anyone would be. But a part of me had hoped she’d be here anyway. "How are you feeling, dearie?" Li
