He was born in exile. Rejected before he could even crawl. Forgotten by a kingdom that once hailed his bloodline. When Alpha Kael rejected his mate, Aria, for the daughter of a rival Alpha, he thought he’d buried the past. But Aria was already carrying his heir—hidden away in the forbidden borderlands, where rogues rot and cursed blood thrives. Now, eighteen years later, the Mooncrest Realm is in chaos. The rightful heir has returned—stronger, faster, and carrying the mark of the true Alpha King. But he doesn’t come to beg. He comes to challenge. As secrets unravel and bloodlines clash, a cursed Alpha must face his past… And a rejected heir must decide—forgive and rebuild? Or destroy everything that once cast him out? In a world ruled by moonlight and betrayal, only one truth remains: Rejection isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of power.
