From Rejected Slave to Second Chance Luna
Updated at Sep 16, 2026, 19:03
From Rejected Slave to Second Chance Luna Spurn Sanders has spent her entire life living up to the cruel name her parents gave her. Born ten minutes after her twin sister, Morgan, Spurn was the daughter they never wanted. At six years old, she was stripped of her place as the Beta's daughter and forced into the basement, where she became nothing more than the Moon Howlers Pack slave. Starved, beaten, and forgotten, Spurn learned long ago that no one was coming to save her. So she made a plan to save herself. Keep her head down. Earn her diploma. Get the grades she needs for a scholarship. And the moment she has the chance, leave Moon Howlers behind forever. Then her eighteenth birthday changes everything. When Spurn discovers that her fated mate is none other than Dominik Moonfang, the Alpha heir who has spent years helping make her life miserable, she allows herself one foolish moment of hope. Maybe the Moon Goddess hasn't forgotten her after all. Until Dominik rejects her. Heartbroken but unwilling to let him have the final say, Spurn rejects him right back and clings even harder to the future she's been secretly fighting for. But when the powerful Alpha Damon Lockheart arrives at Moon Howlers for a Mating Ball, one scent stops him in his tracks. Wildflowers and rain. His mate. Hidden away. Starving. Scarred. And surrounded by wolves determined to keep the truth about her buried. Damon knows immediately that something is terribly wrong—and when he begins uncovering the lies surrounding the mysterious pack slave, he realizes Spurn isn't the woman Moon Howlers claims she is. She's his second-chance mate. Now Spurn is being offered something far more terrifying than the cruelty she's always known: freedom, a future, and a mate who actually wants her. But escaping Moon Howlers is only the beginning. Because some secrets were buried for a reason, some rejected bonds refuse to stay in the past, and the wolves who spent years convincing Spurn that she was worthless are about to discover what happens when the woman they threw away finally learns exactly how much she's worth.
