The Rejected Luna Was the Enemy Alpha's Fated Mate
805 Views · Ongoing · Amelia Rivers
What do you do when your husband swears he hasn't betrayed you — because he does it blindfolded, calling it medicine?
Three years ago, Selene bonded to the Alpha of Ironwood. He came home poisoned by shadow. Her soul, too pure, burns it out of him — so he cannot touch her without agony. That is the tragedy the pack whispers about.
They don't whisper about the shrine room. About the chief healer who brews a draught from Selene's own blood so she'll smell like the wife he can't hold. About the child learning to call him Papa.
Selene doesn't weep when she finds the memory crystal. She owns the mines her husband borrows against. She is the Shadow Lord — the lender he kneels to, the mercenaries at his borders, the hand that can strangle a pack's entire winter.
So: a severance signed in a drugged haze. A healer humiliated at the Great Rite by her own stolen formulas. A trade road going dark.
And then a glass of wine, a locked inn door, and a blade in Selene's own wrist to mask her scent before she runs.
She runs straight into Kael. Enemy of her bloodline. Man she should never touch.
And a father-in-law who is about to break her heart worse than any lover.
How much does a Luna owe a pack that never loved her?
