I was the Luna, or so I thought, until the night he stood in front of the entire pack and tore the title from me. His rejection didn't just shatter me, it broke the bond that tied us. Yet, little did he know I carried his child-a secret I would take with me and raise alone. Or so I thought until danger knocked on my door and fate dragged me to the pack I swore never to step foot in again.

Rejected Luna's Baby Chapter 1 THE QUEEN WHO FELL

•Amar's POV

I was trembling as I stared down at the small white plastic stick in my hands.

My hands were shaking violently as if an electric current was passing through it.

I held onto my clothes tightly to keep it from shaking so badly as I waited.

My heart was pounding so hard.

The thumping sound was all I could hear as it echoed against the wall of the room.

I closed my eyes for a moment and began to desperately mutter words of prayer.

"Please," I whispered to the Moon Goddess unsure wether she was hearing me.

I kept talking even though I wasn't even sure what I was asking for anymore.

The pregnancy test felt heavy in my palm, heavier than my crown had ever been.

"Please," I murmured one last time before I slowly and reluctantly opened my eyes.

I looked again, and my eyes widened as a small scream tore out of my mouth.

There was two pink lines.

I staggered backwards, my legs instantly failing me at this critical time.

Joy-white, hot and blinding tore through me like an express train.

My heart rate skyrocketed as I let out a scream that bore all my emotions.

There was frustration, fear, disappointment, anxiety-all leaving as I screamed.

There was finally two lines.

There was finally hope.

After several months of staring down at the single lines that crushed it wickedly.

I shook uncontrollably as I set the pregancy test stick on the counter.

I was breathing so hard as I gripped the edge of the sink tightly.

I looked up and my eyes met my reflection in the large gold rimmed mirror.

The woman who stared back at me had dark messy hair and wounded lips.

Her eyes were red from crying too many nights alone in here matrimonial bed.

Depression was taking her while her husband worked late at his office.

I was that woman.

I slumped against the counter as the tears started flowing down my cheeks.

But for the first time in months, they weren't tears of sadness.

I was pregnant.

I was finally pregnant.

And this would change everything.

My mind wandered to last week when Kade had barely looked at me during dinner.

His plate had sat untouched while he had been reading the pack reports.

"The council is asking questions again," he had said without looking up.

I had stilled instantly because I knew what was about to come next.

"When shall we birth heirs Amara, for the future of the pack?" He demanded.

The words had hit me hard.

I wanted to tell him that we were trying and that these things took time.

I had looked up to meet his sharp eyes and saw his jaw tight with frustration.

I made to speak, but the cold look that glazed his eyes halted me.

But now I had an answer.

Now I had hope.

We had been married two years.

Our mating ceremony had been the most wonderful day of my life.

I had anticipated the happiness in my marriage until I wasn't anymore.

The mating ceremony had taken place under the Harvest Moon.

I could still remember how the crown felt when they placed it on my head.

I could still recall how Kade's eyes had been shining with love and pride.

"Do you, Amara Nightshade, accept Kade Blackwater as your mate and Alpha?" the officiating elder, Sage had asked.

"I do," I had said in a whisper and meant it with every fiber of my being.

"And do you, Kade Blackwater, accept Amara Nightshade as your mate and Luna?"

Kade' eyes had scanned me from head to toe before he opened his mouth to speak.

"I do. Amara will give me strong pups and rule beside me with wisdom."

The pack had cheered, and everything had felt perfect and eternal then.

But that was before the disappointment, before the council started to whisper.

That was before I heard fragments of conversations I wasn't meant to.

The elders whispered to my husband to consider other options as I was barren.

Once, I had heard them offer Elara, the princess of the Moonridge pack.

"She is from a fertile bloodline. Her mother had six pups," elder Thorne haf said.

My hand had instantly flown to my mouth to stop the gasp that escaped it.

I had pressed myself against the wall while straining to hear even more.

"I am mated to Amara," Kade had said, but i noticed his voice lacked conviction.

"Strategic alliances have been broken before fir the good of the pack."

"Maybe, maybe not," Kade had shrugged and my heart had shattered.

I had run to our room and cried until my eyes were swollen shut.

But now, as I stared at this pregnancy test, I knew all that was going to be over.

This baby would fix everything.

It would remind Kade why he had chosen me and why we belonged together.

A soft knock interrupted my thoughts.

"Luna Amara," the voice of Marie, on eof my younger maids called from outside.

"What is it?" I asked.

"The Alpha has requested your presence in the great hall for a pack assembly"

I smiled broadly.

This was perfect timing.

"I'll be right there," I called back.

I heard her footeps as she retreated.

I leaned down and splashed cold water over my face and hurriedly fixed my hair.

Then I carefully wrapped the pregnancy test in a tissue and tucked it into my pocket.

Tonight would give Kade the news that would change everything.

And I would do it in front of the entire pack that had been hasty to call me barren.

I chose my best dress, did my makeup and hair and prepared for the assembly.

I was Luna of Silvergrove pack who was carrying the future Alpha.

The hall was buzzing with pack members and conversations when I came.

Tonight, my nerves were on fire.

I spotted Kade who was standing near the fireplace with his broad shoulders tense.

He wore dark shirts and pants, and even from across the room he was beautiful.

I started walking toward him with my heart hammering hard against my ribs.

The pregnancy test felt as if it was quickly burning a hole in my pocket.

"Kade," I said when I reached him and hee turned to look at me.

My breath hitched as I met those green eyes that always set me on fire.

They were cold and distant, nothing like the man who had promised me forever.

Still, I continued to speak.

"Can I speak with you? I have something rather important to tell you."

He didn't even acknowledge my smile or the excitement that sat in my voice.

"Not now Amara!" He snapped in his loud Alpha voice that instantly rattled me.

My eyes widened as I stepped back.

Fear began to creep up my spine as I realized that something was wrong.

The pack sensed it too and conversations died as Kade stepped forward.

"I, Kade Blackwater, reject you, Amara Nightshade, as my mate and Luna."

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."
