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 stood in the darkest corner of the Pierre Hotel’s ballroom, my cheap polyester dress itching against my skin while my wristband buzzed with a DARPA Priority Red alert. In front of the city’s elite, my fiancé Bryce Calloway took the stage, not to toast our future, but to publicly end our engagement and announce he was with my sister, Chloe. The room turned on me instantly, a hundred pairs of eyes pinning me down with pity and disgust as they physically backed away like I was contagious. When I returned home, my mother shattered a crystal vase at my feet, screaming that I was a humiliation and a "dropout" who didn't deserve a cent of the family fortune. Chloe and Bryce mocked me, laughing when I told them I had a mission with the National Security Agency, convinced I was either a pathological liar or a low-level criminal. They watched in horror as a black, unmarked military helicopter descended on our backyard to extract me, yet they still chose to believe I was being arrested for drug trafficking. They saw a pathetic girl who couldn't even parallel park, never realizing I was Dr. Nova Vance, the lead physicist behind the world's first successful fusion reactor. To secure funding for my research and gain a "fortress" of a name, I signed a thirty-day marriage contract with the arrogant billionaire Roman Knight. He treats me like a fraud, convinced I’m a gold-digger who failed out of college, while I quietly run global energy simulations from his guest bedroom. He has no idea that the "loser" he’s forced to live with is the same anonymous grandmaster who has been ruthlessly crushing him in online strategy games for months. "The contract is active," I told him, looking past his expensive suit. "But don't expect me to be your maid."

For seven years, I drank the bitter tonic my fiancé, Alpha Adrian, gave me, believing it would cure my "wolfless" defect. I was wrong. It was poison. He wasn't trying to heal me; he was keeping me weak so he could replace me with my foster sister, Ariel. When the fire consumed the Alpha's Wing, I was trapped under a burning beam, my legs crushed. Adrian kicked down the door. I reached out to him, screaming for help. But he didn't look at me. He looked at Ariel, who was lying on the floor in a silk nightgown. He scooped her up, cradling her like she was the only thing that mattered. I begged him not to leave me. Instead of helping, he used his Alpha Command on me, his voice booming with supernatural weight. "Stay put! I'll be back for you!" It was a lie. He used his power to freeze me in the inferno and left me to burn alive. I survived, only to watch him publicly reject me for her the next day, with my own father's blessing. They called me a "genetic dead end." They thought I would crawl away and die in shame. I didn't. I limped up the mountain to the Neutral Lands to find the one man everyone fears-the exiled Alpha, Garth Morgan. "I have the Gamma Bloodline Scroll," I told the massive figure emerging from the shadows. "I don't want your gratitude," Garth growled, his eyes like storm clouds. "I'm not here for gratitude," I replied, staring him down. "I'm here to make a deal with the devil."

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

The Mute Bride Is The Secret Mastermind

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.
