Chapter 1: The Rejection
The Alpha's voice cut through the pack house like a silver blade.
"I, Liam Blackwood, Alpha King of the Northern Kingdom, reject you, Elena Shaw, as my mate and Luna."
Gasps echoed around the hall. My knees hit the cold stone floor. The mate bond - the golden thread that had tied my soul to his since I was sixteen - snapped.
I screamed. Not from pain, but because inside me, something else was screaming too.
Something tiny. Something alive.
I pressed my hand to my flat stomach. Two weeks. The healer had told me two weeks ago. I was pregnant with the Alpha King's child. And now he was throwing me away like trash.
"Why?" I whispered, tears blurring my vision.
Liam's golden eyes were cold. Colder than I had ever seen them. "You are weak. An orphan. Omega-born. You will never be strong enough to stand beside a King. My father has arranged a better match - the Princess of the Southern Pack."
Better match.
I wanted to tell him. To scream that I carried his heir. But pride locked my throat.
If he didn't want me, he would never want our baby.
So I stood. Wobbling, broken, but standing.
"Then I accept your rejection, Alpha."
I turned and walked out of the kingdom that had been my home. No bag. No money. Just the tiny spark of life inside me and a promise.
One day, I would come back. Not as his weak Omega. But as the Luna he never deserved.

THREE YEARS LATER
"Mama, why does my wolf have gold eyes like the stories?"
I froze, my brush pausing in my son's dark hair. My beautiful boy. Liam's son. With Liam's eyes.
I had hidden in the human world for three years. I had become strong. My wolf, once called weak, was now terrifyingly powerful.
And now, a letter lay on my table. With the royal seal of the Northern Kingdom.
"All former pack members must return for the Luna Ceremony. The Alpha King is to be mated to the Southern Princess."
The Alpha King. After all these years, he was finally taking another Luna.
My son, Kael, tugged my sleeve. "Mama, are we going?"
I looked at the letter, then at my son - the true heir of the North - and smiled. A cold, dangerous smile.
"Yes, my love. We're going home. And we're going to ruin a wedding."
