CHAPTER ONE:
THE MATE REJECTION
The hall buzzed with excitement as members of the Crescent Moon Pack gathered for the most anticipated event of the year-the Mating Ceremony. It was a night of fated connections, a night when bonds were forged that would shape the future of the pack. For Elena, however, it was a night she had dreamed of and dreaded in equal measure.
Dressed in a soft lavender gown that clung to her slender frame, Elena stood at the edge of the crowd, her hands trembling as she clutched the hem of her dress. Her heart pounded in her chest, her wolf pacing anxiously within her. Tonight was the night she would meet her mate. She had waited for this moment her entire life, clinging to the hope that her destined partner would see her worth, love her unconditionally, and protect her fiercely.
"Don't look so nervous," Clara, her best friend, whispered, nudging her lightly. "You'll make a beautiful Luna."
Elena tried to smile, but her lips faltered. The whispers and curious glances from the crowd felt like tiny needles pricking at her confidence. The Omega girl no one noticed was suddenly the center of attention, and it was overwhelming.
The room grew silent as Alpha Damien entered, his presence commanding and electrifying. The air seemed to shift around him, his dark, piercing eyes scanning the crowd. The weight of his authority settled over everyone like a heavy cloak. His aura was magnetic, and the sight of him stole Elena's breath.
Her wolf stirred, the bond snapping into place the moment his gaze met hers. Time froze, and everything else faded into insignificance.
*Mate.*
The word echoed in her mind, filling her with a mix of joy and terror. She could feel the bond pulling her toward him, her wolf urging her forward, but Damien's expression was unreadable.
As he walked toward her, the crowd parted, murmurs rippling through the room. Elena's heart soared. Was this real? Did the mighty Alpha Damien feel the same pull she did?
He stopped a few feet away from her, his eyes boring into hers. For a moment, she thought she saw a flicker of something-recognition, perhaps-but it vanished as quickly as it appeared.
"Elena," he said, his deep voice slicing through the silence.
Her name on his lips felt like a caress, but the next words he spoke shattered her world.
"I, Alpha Damien of the Crescent Moon Pack, reject you as my mate."
Gasps echoed through the room, followed by stunned silence. Elena's knees wobbled, her vision blurring as his words sank in.
"What?" she whispered, her voice trembling.
"You heard me," Damien said, his tone cold and unyielding. "I cannot accept you as my mate. My duty to this pack requires a Luna who can strengthen our alliances, and you are not that person."
Each word felt like a dagger to her chest. The crowd stared, their expressions a mixture of pity and shock. Elena fought to hold back the tears threatening to spill.
"Is this about Brielle?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Damien's jaw tightened, but he didn't answer. His silence spoke volumes.
Humiliated and heartbroken, Elena straightened her back, summoning every ounce of strength she had left.
"Very well, Alpha Damien," she said, her voice steady despite the pain tearing through her. "If this is your choice, then I accept your rejection."
She turned and walked out of the hall, her head held high, even as her heart crumbled with each step.
---
Outside, the cool night air hit her like a slap, but it wasn't enough to numb the ache in her chest. Tears streamed down her face as she stumbled away from the packhouse, her wolf howling in anguish.
She had lost everything in a single moment-the future she had dreamed of, the love she had hoped for.
And yet, as she stood under the moonlit sky, her fists clenched, a spark of determination ignited within her.
If Damien didn't want her, she would leave. She would carve out a life for herself far away from the Crescent Moon Pack.
She would never let anyone break her again.
Elena took one final glance at the packhouse, her hand subconsciously moved to her abdomen, a strange sensation fluttering within her. Something told her that this was not the end but the beginning of an entirely new chapter of her life.
"I Logan Lee Parker, Alpha of the Silver river pack........reject you, Elena Almeria Knight. You're not worthy to be my wife" Logan's deep baritone declares. Everyone present gasp in disbelief, some laughs with scornful gazes and smirks. Elena felt her whole world coming to an end, now she really wished the floor would open and take her in. Her chest constricted and her heart shattered to pieces. Was she dreaming? It can't be true? She thought to herself staring deeply at Logan. She had waited for this day, only to be rejected. 'Logan, why?' she mindlinked him as her eyes blurred with tears. But instead, he stared at her with an emotionless gaze. With no ounce of remorse or any type of guilt in his eyes. Just when she thought there was a flicker of remorse or pity in his eyes and her heart leaped a little in hope, he looked away. Darting his gaze behind Elena, she was forced to look back, to know what got his attention. Her eyes widened in shock as her once fated mate declare and chose her cousin as his mate. Lisa glared at her and her lips tilted into a victory smirk. Everything came running in her mind in a blur, she didn't want to believe it. The rejection, the pain, it was hurting and Logan didn't seem to care at all. He cheated on her and she forgave him and still, he chose her cousin and broke their bond. Trying her best to contemplate all that just happened, internalizing everything to come back to the reality- she wasn't dreaming.
