The Rebirth Of The Banished And Rejected Luna
M. B. Frost · Ongoing · 70.7k Words
Introduction
But this time, she refuses to fall.
Raven watched her mother die, got thrown away by her father, betrayed by love, and beaten by the very pack that vowed to protect her. And more than three times, they left her to die.
More than three times, she lost everything, including an unborn child. Each time she trusted someone, it cost her her life.
So she stopped trusting people.
She erased Raven and became Sloane Vale, a woman feared in courtrooms, and untouchable by the world that once destroyed her. As one of the most powerful lawyers alive, Sloane lives by one rule: to never need anyone again.
But the past doesn’t stay buried.
As the people who betrayed her come crawling back, begging for forgiveness, Sloane’s carefully controlled world begins to crack, especially when she meets Sebastian, a man with secrets that might break them apart.
Because loving him would mean risking everything she rebuilt, and surviving another betrayal might finally break her.
Chapter 1
•RAVEN•
"A long time ago—" My mother paused and coughed. I placed a damp cloth on her forehead to ease her fever. "Werewolves and vampires lived together in harmony until Vesper brought calamity between the two communities. He wanted to be in control of the sun and moon, but for punishment, he received a curse of immortality. To roam around the earth endlessly, losing everything and everyone he loved."
"But Mom, how is it a curse when he gets to live forever?" I asked, leaning closer to her on the small bed. "I would be happy if I lived forever."
"What joy would that be when you watch everyone you love grow old and die, Raven?" she asked, placing her shaky hand on mine. "There are rumors that Vesper is still trying to find someone who will break the curse, so he will die."
"Oh," I sighed. "How old is he now, Mom?"
"Three thousand years old," she answered, coughing. It always broke my heart when she did. Her coughs were dry, and sometimes her mucus came out with bloodstains.
"It's okay, Mom. You can tell me the entire story tomorrow again," I said as I patted her chest, trying to ease her pain. "You should rest."
"Thank you, sweetheart." She leaned her head and kissed my forehead.
Though we were in the housekeeper's room, I felt better knowing she was right there with me.
"I love you, Raven, I always will," she muttered. "Don't forget that."
"I love you too, Mama."
And I slept again that night, with my hand around her waist, praying to the moon that my father's heart would finally soften and take her to the hospital.
I usually woke up around 5 a.m. when I heard the housekeepers cleaning the hallway.
I went to the bathroom and prepared a bucket of warm water to wash and massage my mother's swollen feet.
But that morning, she didn't wake up like she usually did when she heard me running the water in the geyser in the bathroom.
She was still sleeping when I walked back to the bedroom. I placed the bucket next to the bed and dumped the towel inside before I placed it on her feet.
I expected her to groan or scold me for waking her up, but she didn't. I sat on the stool and massaged her feet while humming the song she liked.
"Mom, do you think Dad will take you to the hospital this time?" I sighed, getting up from the chair and leaning toward her. "We've been good for the past four days and haven't caused trouble for him. Surely he has forgiven us now."
She didn't respond.
"It's okay, Mom. I will speak to him as his daughter," I continued as I sat beside her. "He might listen to me this time and help you."
I froze when I placed my hand on top of hers and realized it was cold. She didn't even move. For a moment, everything was still, and my heartbeat slowed.
I tilted her head and screamed when I saw her eyes wide open with dried blood on the corners and on her nose.
My heart raced, and I felt the walls closing in on me. I was ten years old and understood very well what had happened to her.
"Miss Raven," Alora's voice came from the door. "What's wrong?" She closed the door behind her and leaned toward me.
I didn't answer. I couldn't answer. My tongue was tied to the roof of my mouth. My throat tightened and burned when I tried to say something to her.
"What's the noise about?" My father's voice boomed as he entered the room. I tilted my head and watched as he walked in with a woman by his side.
"It's Mrs. Hale, sir," Alora said as she turned and looked at them as they walked in. "I'm sorry, but she's—" Alora paused and looked at me, probably trying to protect me from hearing something I already knew.
"You can say it in front of her," my father frowned. "Raven is a grown woman now. She even has the nerve to challenge me. She thinks she can tell me how I should spend my money."
"What crime did I commit by asking you to save my mother?" I sobbed, turning fully to him. "She was in the last stage of stomach cancer because she saved you, Papa. Have you forgotten?" A tear rolled down my cheek.
"What do you know, brat?" he sneered. "You're only ten and know nothing about your mother and me. She deserved this."
My stomach dropped. How could she have deserved to die when she donated her kidney to him two years ago, though they strictly told her the risks, but still went ahead with the procedure because she wanted to save my father?
She would be alive if that procedure never happened, and my father found another donor.
"Why didn't you save her, Papa?" I cried. "Wasn't she your wife?"
"You're a stupid child," he sneered as he leaned closer and slapped me in the face. I landed with a loud thud on the floor.
Alora knelt beside me and wrapped her arms around me, comforting me.
"I will call 911 for her body to be taken to the mortuary," the woman beside my father said. "Don't worry, darling, I will handle the funeral plans."
"Oh, Valerie," my father's voice softened. "You're so kind. I am a lucky man to have a woman like you by my side."
"Don't worry about it, love," she giggled as I leaned back from Alora and looked at them. "And oh, sweet little Raven," she said as she stepped forward. "You and I will get along just fine. From henceforth, I will be your new mother."
"You will never be my mother," I hissed.
"She's an ungrateful, spoiled brat," my father commented. "Don't mind her."
"Well, she should be locked up in the basement so she would think about her choice of words," Valerie scoffed. "Arthur, come and take her away!" She commanded our security guard, who instantly walked in and grabbed me with one swift move.
"Father, please!" I begged, crying. "I am your daughter. Why are you treating me like this?"
"My daughter is the one Valerie is carrying," he replied. "You're nothing but a burden, Raven."
"She will be there for two days until her mother's funeral is over," Valerie said as Arthur stopped at the door and turned to her. "If anyone opens the door for her before I give the instruction, they will lose their jobs. I hope I'm clear."
"Yes, ma'am," Arthur and Alora said in unison before Arthur took me to the basement and locked me there.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.

When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"

But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.

The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.

The ballroom fell silent.

Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
Moonfire: Betrayed By The Alpha
Alpha Caden Blackwell believed those words would break me. That after three years of marriage marked by silence, humiliation, and quiet rejection, I would fear a life without him.
I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.
Caden does not know the woman who walked away. He still sees the Luna who waited, who forgave, who loved without limits. He does not see Nova Ashton, a woman capable of rebuilding her identity and claiming a future on her own terms.
I will never crawl back.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
