The pack house hummed with excitement, silver and moonstone decorations adorning every corner as preparations for tomorrow's mating ceremony reached their final stages. I ran my fingers over the delicate lace of my ceremonial Luna gown one last time before carefully hanging it in my wardrobe. The dress was everything I'd dreamed of—ivory silk embroidered with tiny moonstones that would catch the light as Alexander and I completed our bond under tomorrow night's full moon. My wolf, Willow, purred contentedly within me. *Soon we'll be officially bound to our mate forever,* she whispered in my mind. "Forever," I murmured aloud, a smile playing on my lips as I closed the wardrobe door. I crossed my private chamber, my bare feet silent against the polished wooden floor. The room smelled of the moonpetal flowers I'd arranged in crystal vases earlier—their sweet, delicate scent a traditional blessing for Luna-to-be. Alexander had always said he loved how I made our pack house feel like a true home. A flash of white on my writing desk caught my eye—an unmarked envelope that hadn't been there when I'd left to check on the ceremony preparations.

Chapter 1 of Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the King

The pack house hummed with excitement, silver and moonstone decorations adorning every corner as preparations for tomorrow's mating ceremony reached their final stages. I ran my fingers over the delicate lace of my ceremonial Luna gown one last time before carefully hanging it in my wardrobe. The dress was everything I'd dreamed of—ivory silk embroidered with tiny moonstones that would catch the light as Alexander and I completed our bond under tomorrow night's full moon.

My wolf, Willow, purred contentedly within me. *Soon we'll be officially bound to our mate forever,* she whispered in my mind.

"Forever," I murmured aloud, a smile playing on my lips as I closed the wardrobe door.

I crossed my private chamber, my bare feet silent against the polished wooden floor. The room smelled of the moonpetal flowers I'd arranged in crystal vases earlier—their sweet, delicate scent a traditional blessing for Luna-to-be. Alexander had always said he loved how I made our pack house feel like a true home.

A flash of white on my writing desk caught my eye—an unmarked envelope that hadn't been there when I'd left to check on the ceremony preparations. Curious, I picked it up, feeling its substantial weight. No name, no seal, nothing to indicate who might have left it.

Willow stirred uneasily. *Something doesn't feel right.*

"It's probably just another gift from one of the pack members," I reassured her, though my fingers trembled slightly as I broke the seal.

The envelope contained photographs. At first, I couldn't make sense of what I was seeing—a tangle of limbs, familiar hands on unfamiliar skin. Then, like a thunderbolt, recognition struck. Alexander's distinctive tattoo on his shoulder blade. His hands—hands that had caressed my face with supposed devotion—tangled in long red hair.

Scarlett Hayes.

The daughter of the Silverfang Alpha. Our supposed ally.

My stomach lurched as I flipped through image after image, each more intimate than the last. Alexander and Scarlett entwined in a hotel room. Alexander pressing her against a tree in what looked like the neutral territory between our packs. Alexander slipping a necklace around her neck—a moonstone necklace identical to the one he'd given me as a symbol of our unique bond.

"No," I whispered, my voice breaking on the single syllable. "No, no, no."

Willow howled in anguish inside me, the sound reverberating through my soul. *He wouldn't. He couldn't. We're his true mate.*

As if summoned by my pain, a warm pulse of excitement flooded through our mind-link—not mine, but Alexander's. I could feel him, miles away but connected to me through the bond we shared, his emotions leaking through despite his attempts to shield them. Anticipation. Desire. Not for me, not for our ceremony tomorrow, but for something—someone—else.

I closed my eyes, focusing on the link, and caught fragments of his thoughts: *Meet Scarlett at nine... the cabin in the eastern territory... one last time before the ceremony...*

The photographs slipped from my numb fingers, scattering across the floor like fallen leaves. The room spun around me as the perfect world I'd built crumbled into dust. Every sacrifice I'd made, every dream I'd abandoned to support him, every moment I'd believed was building toward our perfect union—all of it had been a lie.

I sank to my knees among the damning evidence, my chest so tight I could barely breathe. Tears burned behind my eyes but wouldn't fall. This pain went beyond crying, beyond screaming. It was a fundamental fracture in the foundation of my existence.

"How could he?" I whispered to Willow, who was whimpering in agony inside me.

*We helped him build everything,* she growled, her grief turning to rage. *We gave up our dreams of being a healer. We made him a king.*

A cold clarity began to spread through me, freezing the raw wound of betrayal. I wouldn't cry. I wouldn't beg. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of rejecting me publicly, of watching me crumble as he moved on with his new prize.

Willow's anguished howl echoed within my mind, but beneath it, I felt something else awakening—a cold, calculating resolve I hadn't known I possessed.

"He wants to discard us," I whispered, gathering the photographs with steady hands. "But we won't give him that power."

I stood, my decision crystallizing with each beat of my breaking heart. I wouldn't confront him. I wouldn't play the heartbroken Luna for the pack's pity. I would vanish—and in my absence, I would make Alexander Kane feel the ultimate pain a werewolf could experience: the soul-crushing agony of mate loss.

"If he wants to be free of me," I told Willow as I tucked the photos away, "then I'll make sure he pays the highest price for that freedom."

Alpha Rejected True Mate
Alpha Rejected True Mate
The greenhouse was my sanctuary in a pack house that had never felt like home. Dawn hadn't yet broken when I slipped inside, the familiar scent of damp soil and blooming flowers wrapping around me like an embrace I'd long been denied elsewhere. My fingers trembled slightly as I reached for the watering can—a weakness I couldn't afford to show outside these glass walls. I focused on the white lilies, my favorites. Their pure petals reminded me of what I once was—hopeful, untainted. Before the mate bond that became my prison. "You're wilting too, aren't you?" I whispered to a drooping bloom, gently supporting its stem. My wolf, Luna, whimpered softly in the back of my mind. Once silver and strong, she now barely stirred, weakened by the sickness that had been consuming us both since I gave too much blood to save William three years ago. A sudden tremor ran through my bones, stronger than the usual morning weakness.

Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Chapter 1 It was their seventh wedding anniversary. Carolyn found the divorce agreement in Roger’s nightstand. The pages were covered in scribbles and corrections, as if he’d agonized over them for years. *"If, during the marriage, I fall in love with another person, I voluntarily relinquish all assets and leave with nothing. Asset details as follows…"* His first impulse had been to walk away empty-handed. But the asset section told a different story—a mess of revisions. First, he’d crossed out the property he intended to give her. Then, the fifty million earmarked for her was scratched out and replaced with five hundred thousand. Finally, as if in penance, he had written a single line. *"Better to have Carolyn leave with nothing. No choice, Catherine is pregnant."* … Carolyn sank onto the bed, disbelief washing over her. On the agreement, Roger’s signature was clean and decisive, without a hint of hesitation. And the document had been drafted seven years ago—the very year they married. That year, Roger had been willing to give up everything for her. Yet every year after, he had crossed out another piece of their shared life. Now, seven years later, the one leaving with nothing would be her. Her phone buzzed abruptly. A message from Roger. *"Urgent business. Won't be back."* She called, only to find his phone already switched off. Another notification flashed—a screenshot from a friend. Catherine, the student she sponsored, had posted on social media. *"Wow, got praised! To commemorate my first period without a leak, the big boss said we should celebrate properly!"* In a nine-photo collage, Roger gazed at her, eyes crinkling with affection as he fastened a dazzling gemstone necklace around her neck. The post was tagged at a couples-themed hotel. Carolyn’s breath caught. He couldn’t remember seven years of marriage, of weathering storms together—but he could find the energy to celebrate Catherine’s… leak-free period. And that pendant… she’d seen it at an auction just last week. It was her mother’s lost heirloom. She’d been ready to bid when her bank card was frozen. She’d asked Roger why. A long time later, he finally texted back, telling her not to waste money on such impractical things. Clutching her bidding paddle, she’d sat helplessly in the auction hall. In the end, she resolved to sell one of her own designs to raise the funds. But someone on the phone swooped in with an unbeatable offer and took it. For weeks afterward, Carolyn hated herself—hated that she couldn’t protect her mother’s last keepsake. She never imagined the one who snatched it away was Roger. He knew exactly how much that pendant meant to her. Yet he gave it to Catherine. Even on their seventh anniversary, Roger had lied about being busy with work, while wining and dining the girl she’d sponsored. The anniversary gift he left her was a divorce agreement demanding she leave with nothing. Seven years of marriage. Seven years of infidelity. And Carolyn had known nothing. She’d even introduced the other woman to him herself. Catherine was the impoverished student Carolyn sponsored. The first time Catherine came to their home to give thanks, Roger found her intrusive and disliked her on sight. *"That girl has no manners. Tracked mud all over my cashmere rug."* *"If her grades aren’t up to par, cut the sponsorship."* Back then, Carolyn had teased him, saying not to be jealous—it was good the girl had a grateful heart. She never once suspected Roger and Catherine. For seven years, everyone in their circle believed Roger never played around. That he loved only Carolyn. But by their next meeting, Catherine had become Roger’s personal assistant. Roger explained, *"The girl’s had it tough. You’ve sponsored her for years. Giving her a job is just helping you out."* Carolyn had laughed it off. Now, hands trembling, she opened Catherine’s social media feed. Catherine had always hidden her posts from Carolyn. Now, she seemed desperate to flaunt everything. While Carolyn drank until her stomach bled to secure a deal for Roger, Catherine was using Roger’s card to buy her first Louis Vuitton. While Carolyn changed bedpans for Roger’s bedridden grandmother, Roger was taking Catherine to a perfume atelier for a blending class—calling it a business trip. Catherine had even complained online. *"Your wife is such a pampered princess. Can't handle the tiniest thing without you running back. Can she not live without a man?"* And Roger had replied beneath it. *"If she were half as independent as you, I’d have an easier life."* But that day… Carolyn’s mother had lost her battle with cancer. She’d cried until her heart felt shredded, scrambling to handle the arrangements. All the while, Roger kept checking his phone impatiently, eager to leave. Not for work, she realized now—but because he was desperate to get back to Catherine.
