From Rejected Waste to Alpha King's Luna

Synopsis

The day I died, my fated mate, Derek Blackwood, was holding his mating ceremony with another woman. That was the last thing on my mind before my eyes closed for good. I used to believe that if I loved him enough, even a wolfless failure like me could still have him take my hand, swear to the Moon Goddess, and make me his one and only Luna. But I was wrong. He rejected me in front of the entire pack. On top of that, he let his new lover, Lilith Foley, rip off my winter coat and throw me into Frostmaw Mountain like a piece of trash on a night when it was twenty-two degrees below zero. Derek looked down at me as I coughed up blood in the snow, his eyes full of disgust. "Selene, don't blame me. The pack doesn't need a worthless wolf who can't shift." He thought I would die that night on that frozen mountain, but he couldn't be more off. Three months later, at his succession ceremony, someone kicked the grand hall doors right off their hinges. That someone was Alexander Blackwood, the legendary former Alpha King, a ruthless tyrant who had been sealed away for ten whole years and also happened to be Derek's adoptive father. Alexander wrapped one arm around my waist and held me close to his chest. Then he looked at Derek, who was trembling before the throne, and let out a cold laugh. "Derek, watch your tone when you talk to my Luna. Get on your knees and call her 'Mother.'"
