Ioana has never had it easy. As the wolfless omega of the Redmoon Pack, she's been a constant reminder to everyone of what she isn't. Shunned by her parents, humiliated by her packmates, and heartbroken by the Alpha's cruel rejection, she feels like nothing but a ghost in a world that doesn't want her. But then, in a cruel twist of fate, she becomes the mate of Alessandro Bianchi, the ruthless High Prince of the New Moon Kingdom, who doesn't want her either. When Ioana's pack offers her to Alessandro as a political pawn, everything spirals out of control. The mate bond pulls them together, but Ioana refuses to be a pawn-she flees. Alone and desperate, she discovers an ancient bloodstone that unlocks her magical heritage. But her peace is short-lived as Alessandro forces her into marriage, marking her as his captive. On the day of his coronation, Ioana's true power is revealed, and she stands by his side as the rightful queen-but even that isn't enough to stop the betrayal that lurks around every corner. With the pack, her family, and even Alessandro's own secrets threatening to tear them apart, Ioana must fight for her throne, her identity, and the love she's not sure she can trust.retract

His Captive, His Mate, His Queen Chapter 1 Rejected Under The Moon

IOANA'S POV

"Ioana Redmoon," from afar, I could hear the melodious voice of the High Priestess calling my name.

It was the Full Moon Appreciation Night, a night to strengthen the mate bond, and I was late.

My sister had locked me up in the basement. Goddess knows how I managed to get out just for this.

For him, my mate, Ramon-the Alpha's son and my longtime secret crush.

I had waited for this day for years, dreaming of it.

My hands shook in jitters, cold and clammy with sweat, as I pushed through the crowd of people, rushing for the elevated platform.

But suddenly, it was silent.

Ghost-quiet. Eyes turned to me, trailing after me.

I hunched my back, subconsciously protecting myself from their stares-something I had grown used to.

My stomach dropped. Something was wrong.

My gut screamed at me, but I shook it off with a what could it be, pressing forward.

And that's when I saw it-the consequences of my stubbornness hitting me like a wild, galloping horse.

It was him.

My mate, pressing against the body of my sister.

The fingers I once held adoringly were now weaved between her locks,

his mouth on hers, with such passion it left me stunned as he pressed her flush against him-kissing her.

My heart dropped to my stomach. I froze. No, this can't be true. He wouldn't do this to me.

It must be a dream.

The formerly gentle night breeze, the moon's glow that once caressed me, turned icy and harsh.

"Oh, the disgrace is here." Those were his first words to me after noticing me, his brows furrowed deeply.

"It's revolting to pretend to like you, Omega," he spat, eyeing me with disgust.

"Did you ever think that I, Ramon, would settle for you? You're nothing but a wolfless Omega, unworthy of me."

"That's why I, Ramon Redmoon, reject you, Ioana of the Redmoon Pack. Now get out of here before you bring more shame to this ceremony. Your existence already taints it."

The crowd gasped at his words, his words a shock to them as much as they were to me.

I stood frozen on the spot. I was rejected by my mate just like that.

For what? Was it because I wasn't good enough? I wanted to scream.

Maybe I offended him.

I shook my head. There hadn't been a rejection in Redmoon Pack for decades, almost becoming a myth-but I broke that.

I groaned, gripping my heart.

The knife-stabbing pain assaulted me, like my heart itself was being peeled. It told me it wasn't my illusion.

But despite the blinding pain that coursed through my body, chatters erupted around me, news spreading.

I could feel it-the dagger-like stares digging into me, the glances of contempt and disdain.

Words poured in, slicing my skin and digging into my wounds.

"The goddess must be covering her face in shame."

"Who does she think she is?"

"I've always hated her anyway."

"Wants to become our Luna? She must be dreaming."

"Look at her. Fragile, powerless, and unworthy. She's not fit to stand beside the Alpha's son."

I curled my fingers, clenching them into fists. My nails dug into my palms, but they couldn't relieve a tenth of what I was feeling.

My head buried deeper and deeper. Not a single person stood up for me.

After everything I'd done. I'd been a slave to this pack my whole life.

Unwillingness lit within me. Fingers clenched. Towards everyone. Towards him.

Why? Why did he do this to me?

I thought he loved me! He said he would cherish me!

I clenched my teeth, grinding them, tears brimming. But I held them back.

I wouldn't shed a tear.

I didn't want him to see me with tears gushing down my red eyes, shoulders trembling, body quaking-devastated because of him.

That would only fuel his ego.

I straightened my back under the mountain-like stares of the crowd.

I thought I had the composure, but-

"Ramon, I don't think it's okay to do it like this. Look at her-she's shaking.

I'm sure if the trees rustle one more time, she'll faint. I told you this would break her.

She's my younger sister, and I've never wanted to hurt her..."

She placed her hands on her chest, gold tresses tumbling downwards, an image of compassion with sympathy overflowing as she gazed down at me.

"After all... she deserves the right to know the truth... of our love," she spoke, turning to my mate.

It stung my eyes harshly-the irony.

He smiled back at her, his eyes melting in ways they never did with me.

I should have expected it, but for some reason, despite everything she had done to me...

When I heard my sister's hypocritical voice, something in me snapped.

The shame, the humiliation.

The grief and betrayal surged, turning into a tsunami of unwillingness and resentment, swirling within me, violently slashing the walls of my heart.

It ached. Bled.

I let out a self-deprecating chuckle. So I turned out to be the clown, and everything was my illusion-it was never real.

But I didn't want to agree.

That. Everything. Was. A. Lie.

I staggered backward. My hand grabbed at my chest. I gasped, letting out wheezes.

My lungs tightened uncomfortably. The realization was shattering.

My view changed.

Everyone around me faded away into the inky darkness that crept toward me.

The ethereal full moon looking down at me turned sinister and ominous.

The trees stretched their twisted branches toward me.

Piercing chatters continued like a thousand buzzing bees, never leaving.

It was as if the whole world was against me.

I covered my ears, but it penetrated deeper, latching onto me.

Dragging me into its inky depths.

Desperation urged me forward, driving my motions.

I sank deeper, flailing my limbs, but it was inevitable.

Despite my struggles, it wrapped around me.

It's no use... no matter how hard I try...

I closed my eyes in despair, awaiting my fate.

Just when-

Then, suddenly, like a switch-

The world was bathed in red.

With a boom, it was like something shattered.

A rage that couldn't be explained in words clouded my reasoning.

Then, a voice-unfamiliar but intimate-rumbling with power that erupted goosebumps all over my body, spat:

"Scum."

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

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.
