Betrayed. Exiled. Hunted. Selene Blackwood was falsely accused of treason and cast out of her pack, abandoned by the mate who once swore to protect her. Left to fend for herself in the wild, she refuses to die quietly. Forging her own path, she rises—not as a Luna, but as the queen of the forsaken. But when she crosses paths with Caius Vale, a rogue Alpha with no use for fate, the mate bond ignites once more. War is coming. And Selene must decide— will she fight for vengeance, or will she seize her true destiny before the Crimson Order destroys her for good?

What's bothering you?” he asked sitting next to me.I sighed wondering if I should just escape the question or simply say I was tired. “Where do you think those twenty rogues will be? Do you think they would have been caught?”Riven shrugged hitting my shoulder lightly. “Why are you bothered about them. They made their decisions. They were arrogant looking down on you. So, I careless about them right from.” “Oh come on Riven. You shouldn't say that. They were only scared. They've been in pain, and we're not just patient enough. That's all I see. I don't blame them, they were just desperate to have revenge.” I muttered.Riven picked up a stone throwing it playfully. “So any plans? Because according to Caleb, Bryan will be attacking in two days. Have you thought of a way forward?”I nodded though unsur
Bryan's POV“My Alpha, the men sent to deliver the supplies to the pack warriors were attacked by rogues at the river.” Beta Nightfury reported. I stood by the window, gazing outside. "One of the men returned with the report, he said they were about twenty-four of them, and they had their faces covered up.” “And the supplies?”“They were taken.” Beta Nightfury replied.I nodded subtly and turned walking towards him. “Find out about these rogues. I want them caught. Take the fool who returned alive with you. He should assist you in finding those rogues." I ordered.Beta Nightfury nodded and gave a slight bow before walking out. Lilliana walked in few minutes later, she wrapped her hands behind me hugging me tightly.”Your face look strained, what's making you worried?“ She asked.I sighed out loudly, ” Our men were attacked, and the supplies were taken. I want to find those rogues so bad and crush them into pieces.“ my fist tightened. Lilliana smiled, her palm on my tightened fist.
Selene's POVThe sky turned gloomy as the rain dropped in bits.We all gathered around while I stood in the middle. The twenty rogue I had gathered including I, Silas, Dara and Riven. We all prepared for the mission ahead.The mission I staged as MISSION ONE. The plan has already been drawn out and everyone knew their task. We were little compare to Bryan's men, but our confidence was no match for our numbers.I had changed my name and was always on cover up to avoid been recognized. I was dead to Bryan.I never know if he's people are around me. I couldn't risk telling the other rogues the truth.“Lady S,” Silas walked towards me, sending me a message through our eye contact. I had informed them to call me Lady S as that's the name I preferred.“Gather yourself around.” I ordered. They all stood up and covered their faces with black shawls.“You all know what to do, Bryan's men will soon be at the river, kilometers away from here. You wait for my orders and then we attack. Kill only
Author's POVCaleb, along with a little group, returned to Blue moon. The pack members gasped upon seeing them, they covered their faces, rushing into their houses.“Hey, wait there.” A deep voice said, making them halt in their tracks.The rugged fellow, with a rigid face and a scar that draws from his forehead across his left eye was none other than Beta Nightfury, the strongest wolf In the pack. Despite his strength, his loyalty belongs only to Alpha Bryan and if he requests that he rolls on dirt, he would gladly do it.Most call him, the loyal dog, but that's mostly behind his back.“Why the hell do you hold a cloth soaked in blood? Shouldn't you know better to put it in a bag instead of parading it round the pack like some sort of flag?”Caleb and the other three men behind him went on their knees immediately.Nightfury, raise his eyebrows at the other three. “Care to explain why you bring in rogues?”“Beta Nightfury, we request to see Alpha Bryan.” Caleb replied.“And why is th
Selene POV Once, I was a leader, a title given by blood and tradition. I had been Killian’s Luna, standing beside him as his equal—at least, that’s what I had believed. I had led by his side, trusted his judgment, and cared for our pack as if they were my family.And they had thrown me away.Riven leaned against a fallen log, his arms crossed, his sharp eyes assessing Caleb sternly. Dara sat beside him, flipping a dagger between her fingers, staring keenly at him. Caleb knelt on the ground, watching me as if waiting for judgment.I wasn’t sure when they had started looking at me for answers.Maybe it had been the night I first stood my ground against a rogue attack. Or the day I refused to let any of us go hungry. Maybe it had been happening all along, and I had been too focused on surviving to notice.Now, survival wasn’t enough.Killian was preparing for war, and he wanted me dead.But we had a choice.I exhaled, stepping closer to the fire. “We can run,” I said, my voice even. “D
I never expected to care about the world I left behind.For weeks, I had only focused on surviving. I had buried my past, forced myself to forget the pack that betrayed me, the mate who cast me aside like I was nothing. But now, as I stood in the middle of our camp, staring at a broken and bloody scout from my former pack, I realized I hadn’t left it all behind.Because Killian wasn’t finished.It started with the scent of an outsider.The moment it reached us, Riven was on his feet, he looked tense as he scanned the trees. Dara already had a dagger in her hand, and Silas melted into the shadows, ready to strike if needed.I didn’t react right away. I had learned patience, learned to watch before acting.The scent was familiar. And when the figure stumbled into view, his face pale from exhaustion, my fist clenched.Caleb.He was younger than me, barely an adult, but I had seen him run errands for Killian’s top warriors. He was one of them.I was on him before he could react, slamming
Selene POV They fully accepted me into their small group, taking me as one of them. Dara apologized for referring to me as a stray. She narrated her experience with other pack wolves and I wouldn't blame her if she had still refused to take me in.Riven was relentless, pushing me beyond my limits. Every morning, before the sun even broke through the trees, he forced me into drills — striking, dodging, countering. If I hesitated, he knocked me down. If I make mistakes, he makes me start over.“Pack life makes you soft,” he said after slamming me into the dirt for the third time that day. His breath was steady, while mine was ragged. "Out here, you have to be sharper, faster. You can't hesitate. Else you die.” He kept using the word, die, like it's some kind of situation he often encounters.I spat blood and dirt from my mouth and stood up, “I am not soft.”He smirked. “Then, prove it.”So I did.Day by day, I learned to move faster, to strike harder, to anticipate rather than react.
Selene POV The rogue stepped into view — tall, lean, his dark hair rough and unkempt. His clothes were ragged, but he looked relaxed, as if he had been watching me for a while.“Didn’t think a Luna could last the night out here alone,” he said, his voice low and rough.I wondered how he knew about my identity and just like he seemed to have read my thoughts, he grinned. “Heard information about a Luna lurking in the woods alone and thought to come take a look.’I stiffened, memories of that day replaying in my head. “I’m not Luna anymore.”His gaze flickered to my wrists, where the faint burns from the silver still showed.As a werewolf, a mark is left as an identification for those banished or exiled.He nodded in understanding, “Ah. Banished." He tilted his head. “What’s the crime?”I didn’t answer. Not like I owe him anything.He chuckled. “Fair enough. My name’s Riven.”I hesitated. Giving my name felt dangerous, but it was pointless to hide.“Selene.”Riven nodded, stepping clos
Selene POVI learned that pain doesn’t come from the claws or the fangs of hungry predators. It doesn’t come from the cold stares of the pack nor from the cold night pressing in around me. No, true pain is betrayal.And right now, it’s staring right at me in the face.“Selene Blackwood, you are accused of treason against Blue moon Pack,” my mate, Alpha Killian, said, his voice cold.I raised my head to look at him. The eyes that once looked at me with affection now hold nothing but ice. My body froze in place. This isn’t happening. I shook my head refusing to believe what he just said.“Treason? Killian, you know I would never—”“Silence!” He said abruptly, sending shivers down my spine. “You were found meeting with rogues beyond our borders. What other reason would you have, if not plotting against your pack?” he glared at me and I swallowed hard.I looked around to see the pack members all with hatred written on their faces. I shook my head, “That’s not true,” I said, “I would nev
