Introduction

Lyra Blackthorne, the daughter of the slain Alpha of the Moonfang Pack, could never lead the pack because she had a Moon Wolf. Her mate, Rowan, was named Alpha in her place.

After assuming the title of Alpha, Lyra was betrayed and brutally rejected, not only by Rowan, but also by her entire pack and her stepsister Calista, with whom Rowan was having a secret affair.

“I reject Moon Wolf Lyra as my mate. She was found in bed with a stranger, which means she would betray the pack. The punishment for treason is death,” Alpha Rowan announced mercilessly.

The chants of the pack members and visiting Alphas, who had come to the Alphas’ conference, echoed through the trial. No one thought that Alpha Mikail, whose name sent shivers down spines due to his cruelty, would attend the conference.

Lyra found hope when she realized that Alpha Mikail was her second-chance mate, but she was painfully rejected once again. The double rejection caused her to lose her wolf, and she was sentenced to death by all the Alphas present.

She thought her fate was sealed when Alpha Mikail left and a warrior prepared to execute her. Everyone was stunned when, suddenly, Alpha Mikail turned around.

“Stop! The traitorous daughter of a deceased Alpha must not die. More suffering still awaits her,” he declared.

Lyra’s heart sank as she saw his dark gaze, deep as an abyss, while she fainted from exhaustion.

A few months later, a war broke out among the Alphas, as they began to fight over the Moon who had been rejected twice.

With her she-wolf dead, would the Moon Goddess be generous enough to give her another she-wolf? And which Alpha would be able to melt her now-cold heart?

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: The Trial of the Fallen Moon

The air smelled of incense and blood. The main hall of the Moonfang pack, which had once been my home, now felt like a prison.

Silver chains burned against my wrists as I knelt in the center of the room, my gaze lowered and my heart pounding with fury. Not out of fear, but out of helplessness.

The Alphas’ conference had been an event of honor, a time when the leaders of the most powerful packs gathered to discuss alliances and disputes.

However, what should have been a diplomatic event had turned into a public trial against me, the daughter of the slain Alpha and the mate of the newly appointed Alpha Rowan.

I was on my knees in the center of the room, my hair falling messily across my face, while my shaky breathing was the only thing breaking the silence before the verdict.

“I reject Luna Lyra as my mate,” Rowan’s voice rang out coldly, echoing through the room.

Rowan’s words were a cold knife plunging into my chest. My head snapped up, my lips trembled, but I couldn’t speak.

No, this couldn’t be happening.

“She was found in bed with a stranger,” he continued in a harsh voice, with no trace of the man who once promised me eternal love. “Which means she would betray the pack.” The punishment for betrayal is death.

The murmurs turned into shouts of fury. They were accusing me. They were condemning me.

“That’s a lie!” My voice sounded torn, like an echo lost in the crowd.

“Liar!” Calista stepped forward with her head held high, her perfect face lit by a malicious smile. “Everyone knows you’re not worthy of being our Moon. And now we know you’re unfaithful, too. You only wanted the title of Moon and took advantage of Rowan’s kindness.”

The betrayal hit me harder than any death sentence. My own stepsister. The girl my father adopted, the one who shared my home and my family…

“She’s behind it all”

My eyes searched for Rowan, begging to find a glimmer of doubt, of love, of anything. But I saw only his contempt.

His lips curled as if even my gaze disgusted him.

“I saw you with my own eyes, Lyra,” he said, with a coldness that tore me in two. “There’s nothing more to say.”

He didn’t believe me.

“Rowan, I didn’t…”

“Just accept the rejection already and spare me the trouble of having to keep looking at your face,” he declared in a cold, impersonal voice.

My chest tightened, suffocated by despair. The truth had turned to ashes, and no one was trying to gather them up.

“I… Lyra Blackthorne… accept your rejection… Alpha Rowan,” my voice was a broken whisper.

He brought a hand to his chest, and the cold expression on his face barely shifted. That was what hurt me the most.

All the love he had professed to me and his words of protection went down the drain. He had chosen not to trust me, even though I was his mate, his partner destined by the moon goddess.

“The Ex-Luna deserves to be exiled!”

The pack members began to shout, some demanding my immediate execution. The visiting Alphas watched with interest, but none of them intervened.

No one would stand up in defense of a she-wolf branded a traitor.

The commotion grew as a dark presence made itself known. A chill ran down my spine.

The room, which had been buzzing with cries of condemnation, fell into a deathly silence.

“Alpha Mikail,” a disbelieving voice broke the silence.

The most feared man among the Alphas. His mere presence drained the air from the room.

His eyes, deep and dark as an abyss, scanned the scene with utter disinterest. His gaze settled on me, and a chill ran up my spine.

My wolf awoke.

Not from fear, but from something deeper. Recognition.

My heart pounded, a golden thread began to weave between us.

It was faint, barely a breeze compared to the gale I’d felt with Rowan, but it was there. Alive.

My lips parted in a silent gasp. Mikail was my second chance.

For a moment, something in his gaze wavered. A flicker of doubt crossed his eyes, as if he hadn’t expected this, as if… he didn’t want this to be real.

My soul cried out in silent supplication.

But the spark died out.

His face hardened again.

“I, Alpha Mikail of the Silverbane pack, reject Lyra Blackthorne as my mate.”

The world shattered around me.

No. No, no, no.

The pain of rejection was a fire that pierced my chest, but this time… it was worse. I felt my wolf howl inside me. Her lament was heart-wrenching, and then… silence.

Emptiness.

My wolf died inside me.

A heart-wrenching scream escaped my lips and I collapsed to the ground, unable to stand. The bond broken twice… was a fate worse than death.

The voices around me became a distant murmur.

“If she has lost her wolf, she is no longer a Moon.

“Then she has no purpose.

“She will be executed at dawn.”

Everything faded into shadows. I was falling… falling…

Until his voice stopped me.

“Stop!”

It was Mikail.

The voices died away.

I forced my eyes open and saw him. Standing there, like a cruel god looking down on a mere insect.

“The traitorous daughter of a deceased Alpha must not die so quickly. More suffering still awaits her.”

My heart sank at the sight of his dark, merciless gaze.

The trial was over. But my true torment was just beginning.

The abyss closed in on me. And I fell into the darkness.

Dear readers, this novel is coming to an end soon. I highly recommend another fantastic story of the same genre:


I’d appreciate all your support, thank you so much!
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...

Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.

George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.

His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"

Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.

When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

"Ten years of atonement, and you flee?"

His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.

"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.

"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."

I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.

"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."

On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.

Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.

From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.

Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.

"You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.

Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.

"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.

My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.

My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
