Elara is not a fighter. She is a healer. Her power is the rarest in the werewolf world. It was meant to protect her Pack and secure her place next to Alpha Kael, her destined mate. However, on the night of their claimed bond, Kael rejected her. He labeled her power a deadly threat. With a brutal and calculated act, he wounded himself with wolfsbane and publicly turned Elara away. She had to choose between saving the man who humiliated her or proving his belief that she was too dangerous to love. She saved him, but that night, the healer inside her died. Banished and broken, Elara sheds the blood-soaked title of healer and retreats into the shadows. She finds an ancient master who teaches her not patience, but poison. Instead of comfort, he shows her retribution. She learns to harness her past pain, using the volatile wolfsbane as her weapon. Five years later, the once-strong Lunar Pack is suffering from a mysterious illness that even their best doctors can't cure. They must look beyond their borders for help. Elara returns with a new name and a clever disguise. She is armed with charm and a dark plan. She is the Pack's only hope, and she will bring about the Alpha's downfall. Her revenge has a careful strategy. The closer she gets to healing his body, the closer she gets to ending his reign. But to destroy the Alpha, she must risk reigniting the very mate bond she vowed to forget.

The Rejected Healer's Retribution Chapter 1 The Bloody Oath

The air in the clearing was thick with the scent of pine and anticipation. Beneath the towering silver moon, the Lunar Pack stood silent, their faces hidden by darkness. I, Elara, the respected Healer of the Pack, trembled-not from the cold, but from the deep, instinctual pull of my mate.

He was waiting. Alpha Kael.

He stood apart, a shadow of granite and muscle. His eyes, usually like stormy ice, were fixed on me with an intensity that should have felt safe. Tonight was the Mating Ceremony. After years of stolen glances and silent connections, tonight the Moon Goddess would unite our destinies. I had imagined this moment countless times: his touch, the warmth, the acceptance.

But when I took my last step, my heart pounding in my chest, Kael didn't reach for me. He only gazed at the faint, pulsing light that always glowed from my hands-the wild, uncontrollable force of my healing gift.

The silence grew dense and suffocating.

"Elara," his voice rumbled low and menacing, commanding every wolf's attention. "You are the greatest Healer this Pack has ever known."

A wave of relief washed over me. He was recognizing my value.

"But your power is a storm. Untamed. Risky. It is not a gift," he said, his tone sharp and cutting. "It is a threat."

My breath hitched. I felt the familiar, searing pain of the broken bond in my chest. He wasn't simply postponing the claim; he was making a judgment.

"The Pack needs a Luna who can be reliable and steady. A Pack can survive without a Healer, but it cannot survive a danger."

A gasp spread through the gathered wolves. My Beta, Roric, stepped forward, confusion and protest on his face, but Kael silenced him with a flick of his wrist.

Then came the twist that stole the air from my lungs.

Kael pulled a dagger from his boot, its hilt made of dark wood. This wasn't the sacred Mating Blade; it was a crude ceremonial blade, its silver edge stained with a substance I instantly recognized-Wolfsbane. The plant used to subdue, to poison, to kill.

"Accepting you puts us all at risk," he declared, his icy gaze locked onto mine. "So I reject you, Elara. I reject the unpredictable power you hold."

He didn't stop there. In a shocking, horrifying moment, Kael plunged the Wolfsbane-coated blade into his own forearm, right above the pulse point. A gasp of pure shock escaped the crowd as thick, black blood quickly pooled around the blade. The poison worked fast; his large body began to tremble as his internal healing battled against the toxin.

My power screamed. It didn't seek permission; it demanded action. My hands flared with blinding, white-hot light, my instinct overcoming the devastation in my heart. Kael's action was a cruel trap. He hadn't just rejected me. He had forced a final, impossible test.

If I let him die, I prove him right: my power is selfish and out of control.

If I save him, I reinforce his judgment: I am a healer, not a mate, and my gift is simply a tool for his survival.

Tears blurred my vision as I lunged forward, not to hold him, but to grasp the wound. My light surged, hot and painful, into his poisoned flesh, purging the toxin and rapidly stitching his muscles back together.

When it was done, Kael pulled his arm from my grip. He was healed. He was whole. He looked down at me, kneeling in the dirt, with cold, satisfied pity.

"You see?" he said, loud enough for every wolf to hear. "A great tool, but not a worthy Luna. Now leave, Elara. Before your healing turns to hatred."

I didn't argue. I didn't plead. I stood up, my silence louder than any scream. My light faded, replaced by a cold, empty void. My mate had made his choice, and in doing so, he had given me a stronger identity than a Healer: a survivor.

I locked my empty gaze onto his, a vow passing between our minds that only we could sense. It wasn't love. It was a promise.

I will use this power you feared to tear down everything you believe in.

I turned my back on the Pack, on the Alpha, and on the painful, searing hurt of my broken mate bond. I walked straight into the moonlit forest, beginning my exile and my quest for revenge in the same, silent breath.
