The Rise of The Autumn Queen Chapter 1 The Rejection

Cassia's POV

I was shocked by what was taking place. The Autumn Pack's ritual grounds were lit up by an eerie glow from the full moon. It ought to have been a happy occasion. Blake, the strong Alpha who was my mate, was about to formally claim me as his Luna. But it was all wrong.

I tried to remain composed as I stood in front of the whole bunch. Every wolf in the pack had its eyes on me, and they were full of curiosity, hopes, and expectations. However, Blake was the only person I gave a damn about.

His towering body was as dominant as ever as he stood in the middle of the group. I briefly believed I saw a glimmer of warmth in his black eyes when they met mine. My heart pounded.

My aspirations, however, were all dashed to bits when he spoke.

Blake's harsh, icy voice boomed throughout the ceremonial grounds, "Cassia." "As Alpha of the Autumn Pack, Blake King, I hereby deny you as my mate."

My heart stopped beating. I felt as though the ground was tilting under me. I could hear gasps all around me, but my attention was only drawn to Blake's face, his icy look and sharp jaw.

Blake went on, his words piercing deeper than any blade: "I reject you, Cassia, because you're too weak to be my Luna."

The silence fell. I was having trouble breathing.

Too frail? I had always been taught that I would grow up to be the Luna of this pack and that I was born powerful. But now that I was in front of everyone, Blake was criticizing me.

Tears pricked at the back of my eyes, but I fought the need to cry. I needed to be calm. I had to maintain calmness.

"You cannot turn me away," I muttered, my voice trembling. "We are friends. I'm meant to be by your side.

Blake squinted his eyes. "You lack sufficient strength. Instead of someone who breaks under duress, I need someone who can lead the flock.

I felt like I was slapped across the face by the words. I felt the weight of their stares on me as the group mumbled in surprise. While some of them showed sympathy, the majority of them regarded me with contempt.

The air was pierced by Sienna's chuckle. She had a smug smirk on her face as she stood at the edge of the group, her blond hair glistening in the moonlight. I had always had trouble with Sienna. She was the Beta female of the pack and had never concealed her envy of me. Her eyes gleamed as she saw Blake turn me down.

With a tone full of derision, Sienna yelled, "Cassia, you're just too soft." "You'll never be able to hold Alpha's mate. You ought to have been more aware.

Each of her words struck its target like a blade. My chest began to burn up with embarrassment.

I was itching to run. My legs wouldn't move, even though I wanted to get away from the hurtful remarks and snide looks. My feet stuck to the floor.

Blake turned his back on me, emotionless and frigid. He told the guards, "Take her away." "She's not welcome here anymore."

I was having a hard time processing what was going on. All of the pack's eyes were on me; some were empathetic, but the majority were shining with contempt. I felt as though a hundred pounds were bearing down on my chest from their looks.

Reaching for my arm, one of the guards moved forward. I recoiled, but he caught me tightly and dragged me out of the ceremony's center.

"Avoid touching me!" I yelled and made an ineffective attempt to pull away. There was too much humiliation. I couldn't stand it. I wanted to flee and vanish into the night, but I was unable to do so.

I heard Sienna's harsh, derisive voice once more as I was escorted away from the throng. "I anticipated this day. Blake never thought you were good enough.

Even though my heart hurt, I didn't turn around. I was unable to. The words were too painful.

When we arrived at the boundary of the pack's domain, the guardians at last let me go. I stood there looking into the dark trees, my body trembling with emotion. Even though the gang was still having a good time, I could hear them laughing and whispering about how nasty they were.

I felt like screaming. I felt like crying. I was unable to do what I wanted to do. I was left standing in the dark, abandoned, my world devastated in that instant.

With heavy feet and an even heavier heart, I turned and left. The only sound in the quiet woodland was the gentle rustle of leaves beneath my feet. I needed to leave. I had to get away from it all.

I ventured farther into the forest in the hopes that it would provide me with the tranquility I required. The chilly, reassuring blackness encircled me.

However, I heard voices as I was walking. Voices, low and muttering, from a distance. My breath caught in my throat and I came to a halt.

One of the voices was familiar to me. Blake owned it.

I muttered to myself, "No." "No, no, no."

In an attempt to remain hidden, I retreated into the darkness. I was invisible. Not right now. Not with all that had just transpired.

With my heart thumping in my chest, I knelt and listened.

"Are you certain she is strong enough?" Blake's aggressive tone prompted the question.

A second voice that I didn't recognize said, "I don't think she's weak." However, Blake, she lacks the strength to be the leader of the group. Someone who can support you without crumbling is what you need.

"It's not about love, it's about power," Blake stated in a tone that was aloof and almost icy. "I can't lead the pack with love." Power alone does.

My chest ached as I took a deep breath. Strength? Was that the only purpose of this? Had Blake never given a damn about us, about me?

Blake's voice went on, "She's not the one." "I erred in assuming she could manage this. I need a strong person that can assist me in expanding this pack.

I got out of my crouch, though I had no idea where the strength had come from. I felt every ounce of anguish and pride pour through me. Blake had never been interested in me, so he didn't simply reject me. I had been used by him.

I turned my head away from the voices and laughed bitterly. I had to leave this place. I had to get away.

However, my breathing became more rapid as I resumed my stroll. Something, no, someone, seemed to be staring at me.

Before I could respond, someone sprang out of the darkness. The rogue's claws swung at me, just missing my face, and I had little time to duck.

My heart pounding, I staggered back and yelled. Out of the shadows, another outlaw emerged, his eyes blazing with ill intent.

This was not what I was expecting. I wasn't prepared for everything to go wrong.

The first rogue grabbed my arm as I turned to go, his hold becoming iron-tight. Trying to escape, I gasped, but he was too powerful.

I was unable to flee as a third rogue materialized in front of me. I was confined.

My thoughts were racing. Fighting was my only option. I couldn't allow them to kill me or, worse, bring me back to the pack.

I kicked the rogue in front of me and elbowed the one holding me with all the vigor I could manage. He stumbled backward, but I wasted no time. My heart thumping in my chest, I ran into the woods.

However, they moved quickly. Too quickly.

Behind me, I could hear their footsteps slamming through the undergrowth. I needed to leave. I needed to live.

I ignored the agony in my side and pushed myself harder and faster. Around me, the woodland became hazy. I had only my survival instinct and no plan or backup.

After that, I stumbled. I scraped my hands on the uneven terrain after my foot caught on a root and I fell hard to the ground.

One of the rogues was on top of me before I could get to my feet.

Everything turned dark.

Out of the shadows, I heard a voice-a voice I knew-scream. "Avoid her!"

Who was it? Did Blake, do it?

Or had I already been killed by the rogues?

I was unable to tell. As the forest engulfed me, everything turned black.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.
