On the night of her marking/mating ceremony, Luna Rayne, the weakest omega in the Crescent Moon Pack, is publicly rejected by her destined mate—none other than the powerful and cold hearted Alpha wolf, Mateo, who discards her for a stronger she-wolf of the pack.

 Broken, humiliated, and exiled, Luna is left to die in the wilds, but a mysterious force saves her up and made stronger than usual. As fate would have it, she is not alone in the rejected world. Another Alpha wolf, Xavier Steele, a brooding rogue with a dangerous reputation—claims her as his second-chance mate, awakening dormant powers within her bloodline, and making her stronger than she have ever thought. Luna must decide whether to let revenge consume her, or rise to become the queen she was always meant to be.

But as war looms between rival packs and dark secrets from both Xavier and Mateo’s pasts come to light, Luna must embrace her newfound strength, or risk losing everything—including her second chance at love and happiness.

The Alpha King Rejected Queen'

Kael stood in my room, the moonlight cutting through the thick/heavy darkness, illuminating the sharp angles of his face. His expression was unreadable, but the tension in his body spoke up for him.

"What do you mean about the darkness'?" I asked, my voice trembling despite my attempt to keep it steady and totally on the low.

He closed the door behind him, his eyes meeting mine with a rare look.

"You've trusted me this far, Rayne. I need you to keep trusting me and make this relationship go far. What I'm about to say... it might be hard to hear."

I stepped back, my heart pounding so hard.

"What are you hiding from me, Kael?"

"I'm not who you think I am," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

The words hit me like a punch to the gut. I wanted to deny them, to tell him he was wrong, but the doubt that had been gnawing at me since the attack was impossible to ignore.
