The Rejected Luna

On her nineteenth birthday, Aegis, the quiet, adopted sister, collides with the future Alpha, Elias. In that instant, she hears the fated word: "Mate." But Elias is promised to her beloved sister, Vela, and the path to claiming her destiny as Luna is paved with betrayal, heartbreak, and a dangerous secret that threatens to shatter her world.

The air thrummed with the pulsating beat of pop music and the thick scent of alcohol and restless teenagers. Aegis, the birthday girl, stood awkwardly in the middle of her own party, a cup of chocolate clutched in her hand, feeling utterly alone. Her sister, Vela, the life of the party, was nowhere in sight.

Seeking refuge from the overwhelming chaos and her mother's disapproving gaze, Aegis turned to leave. She hurried down the hallway, only to crash headfirst into a solid, muscular body.

The impact sent a jolt through her, but it was the soft, delighted purr of her wolf that truly stunned her. Looking up, her eyes locked with the person before her, and a single word echoed in her mind, a word she had lost all hope of hearing:

"Mate."

The cup slipped from her numb fingers, the hot chocolate splashing across the floor, a stark contrast to the sudden, breathtaking realization. Her mate. Elias Parson, the future Alpha.
